Mass of the people are, in a very primal unlettered people but, in their wading, sober people, seeking only to beg. The masses of the people are of the said, constitute the masses of the preceased easily led and guided. Haiti is only a few hours ride from the American shore on an island midway between Cuba and Porto Rico. It is about the size of South Carolina and has a population of about two and one-half million people. Notwifhstanding this, I venture the assertion that comparatively few people in the United States know as much about Haiti as they do about the far off Balkans. Then other part of the island is occupied by the Republic of Santo Domingo and the southern portion by Haiti. The Dominicans speak the Spanish language. On the other hand, the Haitians speak the French language and cling to French customs and traditions The Haitians, for the most part, are pure black, and are a very proud, mercurial people, with Latin characteristics. "Humility," it is stated, "except when assumed for ulterior purposes, is no part of the Haitian character. With all of his faults, which he will ordinarily admit, his pride remains unscathed and his confidence in the ultimate success of his race in all the avenues of human endeavor continues unshaken. * * * He has the resistant qualities—lacking in the Dominican—which go to make up the obstructionist and fighter who never surrenders, and he has these qualities in a pre-eminent degree." The Haitians won their independence over a hundred years ago from France under the leadership of Toussaint L'Ouverture. "One of the grandest characters produced by any race in the 18th century though an ordinary black man, a slave and the son of slaves," at the price of hard fighting and much sacrifice. From that time until the present, the Haitians through many ups and downs have maintained their independence and have preserved some semblance of a republican form of government. The Monroe Doctrine and United States Occupation A few months ago the Government of the United States found it necessary to take a hand in the affairs of Haiti. It was absolutely necessary for the United States to do this or permit others to do so. This was unthinkable. Haiti unfortunately has suffered itself to get largely in debt to European countries. The European countries had been demanding their money. The United States had said that "under the Monroe Doctrine we cannot permit you to come in and take control of Haiti and collect your money." The European countries, of course, at once rephed, "If you will not permit us to do it, you must do it." This, as I understand it, is the justification asserted by the United States for landing marines on Haitian soil and assuming control of the cutsum houses, etc. Haiti has been brought to its present unhappy condition not because of any great fault of the masses of the people. Everyone who has visited Haiti and studied its physical resources has been surprised to learn of the vast resources of the country. It is a country teeming with natural wealth and great possibilities. Sugar cane, for example, once planted, it is said will grow for twenty years without again being replanted. The great mass of the people are, in a very primitive way, farmers. They are an unlettered people but, in their way, are an industrious law abiding, sober people, seeking only to be let alone to earn their living. The masses of the people are of the peasant class who, as I have said, constitute the masses of the people. They are teachable and easily led and guided. Haitian Leaders Adopt French Ideas.

I mean white men. These adventurers or promoters or by whatever name called are largely responsible for stirring up the numerous revolutions that have disgraced and upset Haiti.

Cook The Greatest Singing Chorus in America THE DIXON PLAY AT DR. REISNER'S CHURCH During a Church Efficiency gathering, held recently, at the Grace M. E. Church, 131 West 104th street, the Rev Christian F. Reisner, pastor, the vicious Dixon moving picture, "The Birth of a Nation," was shown. Special arrangements had been made with the managers, and mention in the daily papers stated that before a vast audience of Methodist ministers from all over the State the picture was shown in every detail as at the Liberty Theatre, with orchestral accompaniment." It was also stated that the "church performance was arranged by the Rev. C F. Reisner." The fact that this photo play, which has been condemned by many as being most humilical to the interests of the Negro race, was presented in a church of the Methodist Episcopal denomination, called forth the following strong letter of denunciation from the Rev Wm H Brooks, pastor of St Marks M. E. Church, a member of the same denomination: Dr. Brooks' Letter "The Birth of a Nation," a travesty on history, a breeder of racial antispathy, magnifying the faults of one race while glorifying the lawlessness of the other, probably dangerous because its insidious poison is hidden in scenic beauty, outlawed in some states condemned in some others—at last creeps out of the theatre, where it never should have been into the Church of God to furnish entertainment for the saints of the Most High. This play with its objectionable features condemned by His Excellency, the Mayor of this city, the Commissioner of License, by the entire race so grossly maligned, by able representatives of the Jewish, Roman Catholic, Universalist, and most of the Protestant faith, finds a welcome in a church of the denomination of which I am a member the Methodist Episcopal—and this church places upon this hatred-breeding propaganda, the sanction of our holy religion We have been taught that Methodism was raised up definitely to spread scriptural holiness throughout the land. Has she finished her task and is now celebrating it with her brass band and theatrical performances? In spite of this unholy marriage of theatre and church, the race so gruely misrepresented will live and be strong enough to shed tears at the grave, of both of the contracting parties, when God shall say, Dust to Dust, and Ashes to Ashes. WILLIAM H BROOKS Pastor St Marks Episcopal Church Dr. Reiner's Explanation A representative of THE AGE called to the Rev Mr Reisner, and requested a statement from him concerning the motive behind the presentation of the play in his church. After declaring that it many years he had been a friend and had worked in the interests of the Negro Dr Reisner submitted the follow- ing statement setting forth the con- ditions under which the picture was pres- ented in his church. He delicately enter into any discussion of the merits of the play other than from the技术 standpoint of the development of moving pictures, but declared that he did not believe a production of the picture could mure the Negro race be cased of the solid progress and advance point which that race has amplified To the Editor of The AGE One of your staff in a very gentle manner was requested to explain how we happened to give the negro picture. To the Bath of a Nation in Grande Church I am glad to ins- prise the interest of the Negro. My other friend the Kansis contest and mort must come next death because strong into slavery views and could for the Negro. For more years I have preached in the stations and have earned money for its institutions dedicated to their uphill. Some of the best friends I have made are members of the African race. I am surprised that anyone who shows me would mismeasure that the war was to be shown if I believed it would not be to try which has made more progress with more blood in the war which history has remembered. A committee of the New York County Commission in the City of Albany, L.I., on Tuesday, the 15th of October, determined that the war was to be tried which has made more progress with more blood in the war which history has remembered.

Joseph Simeon Hipper, the second son of Lestus and Isabella Hipper, was born among the foothills of northern Georgia, February 22 1859 on the Ponder place, at the lower end of Maranta street, Atlanta, Fulton county.

He was ordained deacon in January, 1881, by Bishop W. F. Dickerson, in St. Thomas A. M.-E. Church, Thomasville, the same church in which he was converted. Here also he was elected secretary of the Georgia conference, and a trustee of Morris Brown College. He was appointed to Darien in 1882. In 1883 he taught school at Cairo and Whueham. Pastor of His Mother's Church. In January, 1884, he was ordained elder at Valdosta by Bishop W. F. Dickerson and appointed to Quitman, remaining there until January, 1886, when at the conference at Hawkinsville he was transferred from the Georgia conference to the North Georgia conference by Bishop James A. Shorter, and appointed to Bethel A. M. E. Church on Wheat street, now Auburn avenue, Atlanta. This was the largest church in the State, and he was the youngest man that had ever been appointed to so important a charge in the State. His mother had been a member of this church in the United States (until when a boy, and in the old church had first learned his alphabet, "A prophet is not without honor save in his own country" but it proved otherwise in his case. He remained here four years, the full limit of the law, and raised more Dollar Money than had ever been raised, not only in the history of this church, but in the entire State. He became here, in 1880, one of the Dollar Money Kings of the entire connection, for which he was honored with a gold badge, and this record stood for a quarter of a century before any other pastor exceeded it. From here he was appointed pastor of Pierce Chapel A M E. Church, Athens, in 1889, where he remained three years. In 1891 he was elected a delegate to the general conference which met in Philadelphia, Pa., in May, 1892. This same year he was appointed by Bishop A. Grant as presiding officer of the Athens district. In 1893 Allen University, Columbia, S C., conferred upon him the title of Doctor of Ministry. After remaining in the Athens district three years, in 1895 he was appointed pastor of Allen Temple Atlanta. This same year he was elected a delegate to the general conference which met in Wilmington N. C. May, 1896 Received Church from South Africa. In June, 1896, he received the Ethiopian Church of South Africa into the A. M. F. Church. By this act he added to the church 88 preachers and quite 3000 members. In 1899 he was elected leader of the delegation of the North Georgia conference to the general conference, which met in Columbus, Ohio, May 1900. At this conference he was elected chairman of the episcopal committee, the most important committee of the general conference. Before this committee each bishop has to appear for a review of his work and the passage of his moral, religious and official character. This committee also assigns the bishops to their districts. At this general conference he was appointed a member of the financial board, which has the oversight of all money raised by the church. In 1899 he was appointed pastor of St Paul A. M. E. Church, Atlanta, serving four years. In 1903 he was elected by the trustee board of Morris Brown College dean of the theological department, which he served one year. In 1903 he was elected leader of the delegation to the general conference which met in Chicago, Ill. May, 1904. Here again he was elected chairman of the episcopal committee, which committee, for his faithful services, presented him with a large silver loving cup. He was again appointed a member of the financial board. Upon his return home he was elected by the trustee board to the presidency of Morris Brown College, and enrolled the largest number of students in its history. He remained here four years. In 1906 Wilberforce University, Wilberforce Ohio conferred on him the title of Doctor of Laws Elected a Bishop. In 1908 at the general conference held in Norfolk Va. he was elected one of the bishops of the Ark. He spent Episcopal Church and assigned to the ninth episcopal district consisting of Arkansas and Oklahoma. He traveled very extensively through these two States, going from ten to twenty-five miles from the railroad. Under his splendid administration $10000 were paid on the debt of Shorter College, Argentea, Ark. In Oklahoma the work was done by the Arkansas Conference in the State the Indian Mission conference, two conferences, the Central Oklahoma and the Northwest Oklahoma conferences, were made. In 1912 when the general conference met in Kansas City, Mo., the delegation from Georgia his native State, requested that he be sent to preside over Georgia, which request was granted. Georgia is the Empire State, both of white and colored Methodism. Georgia is known as the sixth episcopal district, and contains one-sixth of the membership of the African Methodist Episcopal Church throughout the world, and raises the largest amount of money for the general church. It has more conferences and ministers, and has the largest delegation to the general conference of any district in the whole church. Since coming to Georgia he has erected the Flipper Hall, the holy dormitory at Morris Brown College at Central Park Normal and Industrial Institute at Savannah, bought ten acres of ground for Payne College at Outlibert and united all the schools into one system known as Metros Brown University. Owns Stocks in Several Companies. He is a stockholder in the Standard Life Insurance Company, the only old-line insurance company owned and controlled by Nigros and holds the first poles for $1000 issued by the company. He is a stockholder and director of the Atlanta State Savings Bank also a stockholder in The Independent of New York City. He is a member of the Southern Sociological Congress, a member of the National Geographic Society of Washington D.C. a trustee of the World's Christian Indicator, president of the Sunday School Union Board of the A.M.F. Church, which prints and has control of all the Sunday School literature of the church Interesting indeed is it to study the rise of this great churchman. In Georgia he has organized two new conferences, the South Georgia and the Augusta conferences. His life has been a ceaseless round of activities. He has personally seen to the education of forty young men, aiding them from his private funds. Through his direct efforts and assistance more than 100 young men have entered the ministry. He has received 4,750 souls into the church of his choice and raised and reported over $250,000 to his church. Such a life is an inspiration to every Negro man and woman in America and across the seas. A Look Ahead. Peace now reigns in Georgia and from one end of the State to the other the ministers and the people are demanding his return for another four years. Every conference in the State, has already petitioned the general conference in this matter. He is undoubtedly the most popular bishop ever in Georgia. A semi-centennial rally in 1916, the "Golden Jubilee," of African Methodism in the State, has already been arranged. The laid aid and assessments are already given. It is that not less than $30,000 will be raised to clear the school of debt. But naturally the success of such a movement depends upon his return to the State—From the Sunday American.

Kink no more will straighten the kinkiest kind of hair. Think about it—a preparation that all you have to do is to apply it on the hair and with a little combing the hair becomes straight, not to stay for one day or one week, but to last from its end the months. We know nothing the will make a kink again after it has been straightened. Kink no more is a wonder worker.

Mrs. Alice Moore Dunbar of Wilmington, Dek, combated the argument against suffrage that it will take the women out of the home. She said it will not interfere with the home duties of the women any more than will their church activity. Charles W. Anderson, former collector of internal revenue of New York, declared it to be unfair to enfranchise men and not women. He harked back to the days before the emancipation, and stated that Frederick Douglas, the leader of his race at that time, was a suffrage sympathizer who worked side by side with Susan B. Anthony.

We call the special attention of our readers to the article on Haiti by Dr. Booker T. Washington, published on the first page in this issue. We are sure it will interest readers of The Age to get the views and opinions of the eminent educator upon the problems and possibilities of the Black Republic. The article is written in the philosophic view which distinguishes everything that Dr. Washington writes. THE NEW CONSTITUTION. THE NEW CONSTITUTION. On November 2 the question of the adoption or rejection of a new Constitution for New York is to come before the voters. The mafi objection raised by those who are opposing the new Constitution is that it is not as good as it ought to be. They cite, for example, that it continues no Bill of Rights guaranteeing the people against trial by military commission when the civil courts are open. This argument entirely ignores the fact that the existing Constitution contains no such provision, and thus nothing on this point would be gained by rejecting the new Organic law and retaining the old. The absurdity of defeating the new Constitution, in spite of its superiority over the old, because it does not contain a provision which the State of New York has got along without for one hundred and thirty-eight years must be apparent to all thinking citizens. The recent case of military tribunals in West Virginia is held up as a warning; under conditions as they existed in West Virginia, a Bill of Rights, most probably, would have been overridden. At any rate, if the people of New York feel that they require protection against the encroachment of military courts, they cannot gain it by defeating the new Constitution and retaining the old one—which itself contains no such provision—but they must do so by amendment. The proposed new Constitution is so great an improvement over the old that it deserves the support of all citizens who are in favor of a more efficient and economical State government. SUFFRAGE IN JERSEY In the election on Tuesday, Woman Suffrage was defeated in New Jersey by a majority of 50,000 to 60,000. Such a defeat must have been a great surprise and a deep disappointment to the suffragist leaders. There is now much speculation as to what effect the result in New Jersey will have on the coming election in New York. Undoubtedly, the women who are opposed to votes for women exerted great influence in defeating the amendment. This opens up a curious question in feminine nature. Even if some women do not desire the right to vote, why should they exert themselves to keep those who desire the right from securing it? If the ballot is given to women, those who do not wish to vote will not be forced to do so. However, suffrage is bound to win, even in New Jersey. EDITOR MOORE'S TRIP The editor of The Age is planning an extensive trip through Virginia and North Carolina. The itinerary will include the cities of Petersburg, Va.; Durham, Wilmington, Raleigh, and other points in North Carolina. The trip will be devoted entirely to the interests of The Age. VIEWS AND REVIEWS WOMAN SUFFRAGE. On the 2d of November-the voters of New York neither or not the women-of this State shall have a lot. Some weeks ago we discussed this question in its tried to meet the stock arguments that are adamah suffrage. We tried to show that every argument against it founded in prejudice or ignorance or in some sort of elucination about "the ballot dragging-woman by throne and tearing the sacred halo from off the trib, there are men who will indulge in this rot we support the family. If working for a living does not "drag woman by throne," etc., we should like to know how taking government and casting a vote once or twice do it. So much for the general objections to woman covered them in a former article at considerable length if there are not special reasons why the right ballot should be supported by all colored voters in New York in New York, but in all the Northern and here the question is submitted to the electorate. Woman suffrage should be supported by all colonies the gaining of the ballot by the women will be arbitrary limitation of the right to vote in this country. The right to vote should not depend upon such education, wealth, color or sex. Every honest, law sound mind and legal age should have the right to vote from he is to be governed. One may be a perfectly never have the opportunity to reach a certain state or wealth; and it is certain that no one can can or sex. All such restrictions are wrong in principle by those who wish to perpetuate themselves, by those who believe that the few have some right to govern the many. Abraham Lincoln said that no man was good either man without that man's consent. Truer was spoken. Colored voters, in casting their ballots for women, like a blow against these obligarchic principles, been invoked to rob the Negro of his political power. There is another good reason why we as a race cause of "votes for women." If women are given political effectiveness of the colored vote will be due to the case with other classes of people; for, we almost a unit, theirs is divided amongst various inns. In Harlem, for example, our voting strengely twice as great while other classes of voters, by a fifth or a sixth more strength than they now. This doubling of our political power would be in those states where we already hold the biennial elections are close. If woman suffrage is added to the Northern and Western states, the colored woman instrument of power, not only for our betterment and West, but also for the protection and defense of the South. Let every colored voter in New York, and in here the question is sumbitted, cast their ballots forrage. MAINTAINING SUPERIORITY IN ATTACK A good friend has sent us a copy of the Atlanta October 6. The first column on the first page gives held by prominent citizens of the fourth Atlanta for the purpose of organizing to prevent attachment of Negroes into the white residential ward. The account opens with the following lines: "By the flickering light of an old-fashioned single oil burner, 200 citizens of the fourth ward, including its most prominent citizens and the ward's entire general council, met last night." There could hardly have been a more suitable scene. Of course, it would have been more appropriate and their meeting in an absolutely dark room, and lives the shame they should have felt at looking around. On the 2d of November the voters of New York are to decide whether or not the women of this State shall have the right to the ballot. Some weeks ago we discussed this question in its general aspects, and tried to meet the stock arguments that are advanced against woman suffrage. We tried to show that every argument against woman suffrage is founded in prejudice or ignorance or in some sort of sentimental hallucination about "the ballot dragging woman down from her lofty throne and tearing the sacred halo from off her brow." No doubt, there are men who will indulge in this rot whose wives help to support the family. If working for a living does not "drag woman down from her lofty throne," etc., we should like to know how taking an interest in good government and casting a vote once or twice a year is going to do it. So much for the general objections to woman suffrage; as we covered them in a former article at considerable length. Let-us now see if there are not special reasons why the right of women to the ballot should be supported by all colored voters in New York. And not only in New York, but in all the Northern and Western States where the question is submitted to the electorate. Woman suffrage should be supported by all colored voters because the gaining of the ballot by the women will be a blow against all arbitrary limitation of the right to vote in this country. The right to vote should not depend upon such qualifications as education, wealth, color or sex. Every honest, law-abiding citizen of sound mind and legal age should have the right to say how and by whom he is to be governed. One may be a perfectly good citizen and yet never have the opportunity to reach a certain standard of education or wealth; and it is certain that no one can change his or her color or sex. All such restrictions are wrong in principle. They were devised by those who wish to perpetuate themselves in political power, by those who believe that the few have some sort of divine right to govern the many. Abraham Lincoln said that no man was good enough to govern another man without that man's consent. Truer words were never spoken. Colored voters, in casting their ballots for woman suffrage, will strike a blow against these obligarchic principles, which have so often been invoked to rob the Negro of his political rights. There is another good reason why we as a race should support the cause of "votes for women." If women are given the ballot the political effectiveness of the colored vote will be doubled. This will not be the case with other classes of people; for, whereas, our vote is almost a unit, theirs is divided amongst various parties and factions. In Harlem, for example, our voting strentgh will be practically twice as great while other classes of voters will each gain only a fifth or a sixth more strength than they now possess. This doubling of our political power would be especially effective in those states where we already hold the balance of power when elections are close. If woman suffrage is adopted throughout all the Northern and Western states, the colored vote will become an instrument of power, not only for our betterment in the North and West, but also for the protection and defense of our brethren in the South. Let every colored voter in New York, and in all other states where the question is sumbitted, cast their ballots for Woman Suffrage. MAINTAINING SUPERIORITY IN ATLANTA. A good friend has sent us a copy of the Atlanta Constitution of October 6. The first column on the first page gives an account of a meeting held by prominent citizens of the fourth ward of the city of Atlanta for the purpose of organizing to prevent "the further encroachment of Negroes into the white residential section of their ward. The account opens with the following lines: "By the flickering light of an old-fashioned lantern and a single oil-burner, 200 citizens of the fourth ward, including some of its most prominent citizens and the ward's entire delegation in general council, met last night." * * * There could hardly have been a more suitable setting for the scene. Of course, it would have been more appropriate had they held their meeting in an absolutely dark room, and so spared themselves the shame they should have felt at looking each other in the face. Another paragraph goes on to say: "It is to be regretted that such vigorous action, a will be necessary, has to be taken to maintain the surp our race in this community," said Councilman Ashli action would not be necessary had our supreme court clared as the Kentucky supreme court did, in the test Louisville segregation ordinance, that Atlanta had to pass such a segregation ordinance, instead of nulli constitutional process." If the superiority of the white race in Atlanta dep on as was taken at this meeting, it is in a pitiful co r, we suppose it is now safe, as Mr. Ashley was on the organization which was perfected. "It is to be regretted that such vigorous action, as I believe will be necessary, has to be taken to maintain the superiority of our race in this community," said Councilman Ashley. "Such action would not be necessary had our 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." If the superiority of the white race in Atlanta depends upon such action as was taken at this meeting, it is in a pitiful condition. However, we suppose it is now safe, as Mr. Ashley was chosen president of the organization which was perfected. Here is another paragraph: "Many ministers attended the meeting. Dr. A. A. L. of Westminster Presbyterian Church, declared that had now come for the citizens of the community to be and to take whatever action might be necessary to ideals and happiness of their community." What sort of ministers of the gospel can these be part in planning such an un-Christian movement it be carried into effect by force, if necessary? whatever action might be necessary" mean nothing? should these men dare to think of what is Jesus Christ in? We have in this and similar instances the effort to pale in American cities. It is not a matter of being but a desire to keep Negroes down, to keep the decent homes and decent parts of certain cities. All we have to say is, it will prove futile. If the Negro gives certain people pain, we feel sorry for have a great deal of suffering still coming to t "Many ministers attended the meeting. Dr. A. A. Little, pastor of Westminster Presbyterian Church, declared that the time had now come for the citizens of the community to take action, and to take whatever action might be necessary to protect the ideals and happiness of their community." What sort of ministers of the gospel can these be, who not only take part in planning such an un-Christian movement, but counsel that it be carried into effect by force, if necessary? For the words "whatever action might be necessary" mean nothing less than force. Would these men dare to think of what is Jesus Christ's opinion of them? We have in this and similar instances the effort to set up a Russian pale in American cities. It is not a matter of protection, it is nothing but a desire to keep Negroes down, to keep them from living in decent homes and decent parts of certain cities. All we have to say is, it will prove futile. If the progress of the Negro gives certain people pain, we feel sorry for them; because they have a great deal of suffering still coming to them. COMMENT HERE AND THERE. The October number of The Cosmopolitan conti- nental of the life of Charles Frohman, written diel Frohman, and Isaac K. Marcosson. As most it know, Charles Frohman was, at the time of ininating force in the theatrical business in this c as big a man as Charles Frohman grew to be, he not felt ashamed to relate how on more than o pulled out of a hole by that patriarch of the cession, Sam Lucas. We quote the following paragraph from the arti "By using every device and resource known to the company of those days, the Storker Comedy Comp raebel Rushmond, Kounty. It had left a trail of behind, there was not a watch in the whole aggregation. The October number of The Cosmopolitan contains the second installment of the life of Charles Frohman, written by his brother Daniel Frohman, and Isaac F. Marcosson. As most of our reader-must know, Charles Frohman was, at the time of his death, the dominating force in the theatrical business in this country. How ever, as big a man as Charles Frohman grew to be, his biographer have not felt ashamed to relate how on more than one occasion he was pulled out of a hole by that patriarch of the colored theatrical profession, Sam Lucas. We quote the following paragraph from the article: "By using every device and resource known to the traveling company of those days, the Storrier Comedy Company finally reached Richard Kountucky. It had left a trail of baggage helmed, there was not a watch in the whole aggregation. Charles The Last Hope. "At Richmond, Gustave had an inspiration. Then, as always, Uncle Tom's Cabin" was the great life-sayer of the harassed and needed theatrical organisation. It was always accessible, and it, almost invariably drew an audience. "Why not have a real Negro play 'Uncle Tom's Cabin?' said Gustave. So he wired Charles as follows: "Get me an Eva and send her down with Sam Lucas. Be sure to tell Sam to-bring his diamonds." "Same Lucas; was a famous Negro minstrel who had been with the Callender company. He sported a collection of diamonds that made him the envy and admiration of his colleagues. Gustave knew that these jewels, like Louise Dillon's sealskin coat, meant a meal-ticket for the company and transportation in an emergency. "Charles engaged Sallie Cohen (uow Mrs. John C. Rice) for the part of Eva. He also, as requested, obtained the services of Sam Lucas for 'Uncle Tom.' Lucas, by the way, provided the money for the trip." The article carries a fine photograph of Sam Lucas as he appears to-day. And let it be known that he is as light-hearted and cheerful to-day as he was when he gave up his diamonds to help Charles Frohman out a hole. Only little more than a year ago he was engaged to play "Uncle Tom" in the great moving picture production which was made of the famous old play. We picked up a copy of "Variety" a few days ago and the following notice caught our eye: Emanuel Woodson Dead. The Charles Bornhaupt offie this week received information of the death of Charles Woodson at Brussels, Aug. 26. Mr. Woodson was colored, and well known as the stage manager of the Palais d'Ete in Brussels. He had appeared upon the variety stage previously as a fast contortionist, and his three daughters played as an act called the "Three Kerziahs." Ten years ago the writer, in company with J. Rosamond Johnson and the late Bob Cole, was in Brussels. One night we attended a performance at the Palais d'Ete, the leading vaudeville theatre of the city. Imagine, when just before the last act a gentleman in faultless evening clothes stepped out on the stage and made an announcement in French, how great our surprise was to see that he was a colored man. We began at once to speculate upon what kind of colored man he was, whether East Indian, West Indian or African. We met him after the performance and found out that he was not only a colored man, but a colored man from the United States, a native of South Carolina; that he had been in Europe for eighteen years, and for seven years had been stage manager—not stage hand, but real stage manager—of the Palais d'Ete. This man was Emmanuel Woodson. He invited us to take breakfast with him the following morning; we did so, and had the pleasure of meeting his wife and daughter. His wife was a German and spoke only German, but even so, she was a colored woman; in fact, dark brown. His little girl was twelve years old, and was, perhaps, the greatest colored liquist of her age in the world; she spoke four languages fluently, going from one to the other without the slightest difficulty. She conversed with her father in English, with her mother in German, with her playmates in Flemish, and, of course, in school she spoke French. In walking about the city with Mr. Woodson we could not help but notice that he was a highly respected citizen in the Belgian capital. REPUBLICANS ATTENTION!

CAMBRIDGE, MASS.—Mr. and Mrs. Emery T. Morris gave a wedding reception at their residence, 30 Parker street, Cambridge, Mask. Thursday evening September 23 in honor of their cousins, Dr. and Mrs. William Beck, who were recently married. Mrs. William Beck, mrs. Helen Miss WILSON describes her father, the President, as having a "beautiful tenor voice." We wonder if he wooed and won his bride-to-be with sweet song. The recognition of CARRANZA by the Administration does not please the Catholics. The leading Catholic organ of the South, published at New Orleans, has had some very hard things to say about President WILSON on that score. It is a very undecided question whether or not the recognition of CARRANZA will have any effect upon the revolutionary condition of Mexico. By-the-way, what has become of Gen. VICTORIAN HUERTO? Vote the straight Republican ticket. Don't scratch a name. SCRANTON, Pa.—Miss Florence Smith, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. C. C.

Most of us, children, have claimored for the famous story of Aladdin and his wonderful lamp: Hearts have yearned during childhood for a taste of this beautiful story. But few have been able, teachers, story-tellers or children, to appreciate the real value of this noble luxury. You remember that it was a lamp, old and worn, that was very much in need of burnishing. Its marvelous possibilities became active and its wonderful powers became known, only when it was burnished. Even the wizard of the story knew the laws of human nature. He knew that it was the desire of human nature to want the bright and glittering instead of dark and worn. So he went forth with a soun, crying, the lamp or Old" "New Lamps for Old", until he had traveled from door to door. Finally he succeeded in changing his new lamp for Aladdin's wonderful lamp. So, it is to-day. New theories, new methods, new people, and new things are taking the place of the old ones. More or less, the unattractive are being substituted with more brilliant and pleasing. But let it be understood by pleasure. When the bright the attractive and the most the most always the most valuable. The old can be made new with a little burnishing, as was Aladdin's wonder lamp. "Character," in Need of Burnishing. This is true of that old, that aged thing, CHARACTER. It is old and aged because it existed in the first man of the world, Adam, and has passed from one generation to the other until it has reached the generations of to-day. Hence, the history of the world, which is the history of words and works, is Character, handed down to us since the birth of the world. It still exists although many substitutes have tried to take its place; but with no success. Very often we miss the work, "Charactery" by we miss the work, "Charactery" of the brighter substitutes Efficiency, Cleverness, Marks and Rewards. We forget that these are not true character, therefore, we rise but to crumble, for the want of a stronger foundation. Behind the shining and glittering standards, is the goal yet to be reached. So it is with character. He who would have character; he who would like to be a character, must dive below. The humbling power of beautiful characters slow burning. It must undergo the sufferings of long days and long nights before it reaches its height of brilliance. O! it is heartrending to see how true character is skimmed over for the less important things of the world. Homes, churches, governments are failing for the want of a little burning of Character. Character in Home and School. Most particularly should character building be started in the home. It is there that the foundation should be laid, for as our children are, so will be our race a generation to come. It is in the home that the most sacred work of character building is handed down. It is there that the foundations must be laid wide and deep. The structure must be firm and fair, subject to all kinds of storms and tempests. And above all it must be noble and worthy. This cannot be done unless we obey the laws of keep clean, and act clean. What are we as mothers and fathers, men, women and teachers doing toward the up-building of Character? We should live as examples for our children. After the home, come the school for character building. The standard of excellence in the school depends upon the amount of courage, industry and persistence the pupils possess. First of all, is this a good standard? Cleverness and quickness are important, are able and standard? With true bravery be appreciated in the pupils? In many cases, it will not. For there are those pupils who have a fairly clever mind and may be able to skim by without hard study, thus receiving excellent marks. And yet these very pupils will lack honor, kindness, high purpose and noble ideal. While the pupils who are weary plodders in digging or foraging for food in the form of foundation which is steadfast and at the same time burnishing the old and worn lamp, "Character" with labor, diligence and knowledge. "More Stately Mansions?" What are we as teachers doing? Are we seeking for pupils who are better trained mentally? If so, we are failing. Let us be teachers of the highest ideal. If we cannot impress upon our children the qualities of character, we will influence and alter for the good the lives of all, we are not teachers. We must not hide under the cloak of mental cleverness, narrow beliefs and sympathies and feelings of selfishness that will wreck the lives of others. Efficiency, cleverness mentors, and only be appreciated as burners of Character. And if the pupil dogs not appreciate the value of true character, no other substitute should be accepted. Well trained senses and mind are but the servants after all, in that house of spirit Character, which we call our well trained servants who be the master of character building. Some of us think more of the home furnishings than the atmosphere there in, while others think more of the clothes they wear than the person with in the clothes. Many of us think more of our rights than the rights of others, and more for pleasure than for character is a home within itself. No one can enter this home and find it unclean, unfit for use. It never in coldness, dishonor or selfishness. "As the swift seasons roll," it builds more stately mansions." Let each brick be a step toward perpetual wealth. Character. May it be such that the millionaire will feel a painer without it. It or Character is precious things. It or Character is gold, crowns or kingdoms. It is the noblest person, earth, and when this noble temble is erected there is nothing greater in Willing to Help All Race. It did not make any difference who or who were wired to Father Sullivan. If you needed him to work at unattainingly. Once he was asked if he would not in home work to better the Neopolitan Him. His reply was a characteristic one. "Ye he said, 'I will work to make things better in my life, work as work as a clergyman, but if there is any real estate behind this movement and that, I'm a priest, not a real real estate manager." Father Quinn, curate of St. Alosius Church, who was associated with Father Sullivan, in speaking to a representative of The Age, said: "Father Sullivan was ready to aid any movement which had or its object the betterment of con- temporary society. He would give aid and advice to several members of the Negro race. He has helped ministers, doctors, policemen and men in all walks of life. These men counted Father Sullivan among their friends." Father O'Keele, pastor of St. Benedict Church, was a man with great sympathy and a tender heart, always ready to aid those in distress." Philip Fredericks, 204 West 133 street, who has known Father Sullivan for more than six years, said: "I am a member of St. Alosians and knew Father Sullivan well. I counted him among my best friends and wish to state that he was a man absolutely void of sin. He was never too much to lend an ear to those who sought his advice." Dr. James A. Banks, dentist, 204 West 133d street, said: "I have been acquainted with Father Sullivan for two years and know of several instances of his helping colored people in distress. The colored race has lost a true friend. Officer A. Battle, postman stationed in the city, "to Father Sullivan on several occasions to seek his advice, and always found him willing and ready to aid me. I have lost a true friend by his death.

STEWARD Tuskegee Institute, Alabama (continued from page one) And yet the Haitians themselves are largely at fault for their present unhappy conditions. They have been content to merely ape French civilization, content to get the veneer of French civilization without its substance and reality. The result is that while the bulk of the people—some 95 per cent, it is said—are ignorant, many of the leaders have been educated in France and other countries. Their education, however, has been unsuited for Haitian conditions. It has been an education that has fitted them to live and work anywhere except in Haiti. The bulk of the people must depend upon agriculture, in some form, for their existence. Despite this, practically nothing has been done in Haiti during all the years of its independence to give the masses of the people practical education in agriculture mechanics and the domestic arts. The leaders have devoted themselves to politics, little knowing, it seems, that political independence disappears without economic independence, that economic independence is the foundation of political independence. Because of the neglect of practical education in Haiti, the country has been spending more than it has been earning. It has sent out of the country to get the necessities of life which might be produced at less cost right in Haiti. While it is true that a large part of the revenues of the country have been stolen by white and black intrigues, these revenue receipts, even if honestly administered, have not been large enough to finance governmental expenditures. Because of the lack of encouraging the development of the natural resources of the country, it has not produced even a small proportion of what these physical resources may be made to produce. Haiti has been compelled to borrow money from foreigners simply because the people have not been taught to produce their own wealth, in their own country. The United States and Its Relations to Haiti. This is preliminary to my making the following observations upon the United States and its relations to Haiti. Associated Press dispatches a few days ago stated that forty or fifty Haitians had been killed on Haitian soil in one day by American marines and a number of marines wounded. To every black man in the United States this dispatch brought feeling of disappointment and sorrow. While, as I have stated, the United States had under control all the compelled take, the Haitians is being compelled to control matters, largely because of the faults of the Haitians. I had hoped that the United States would be patient in dealing with the Haitian Government and people. The United States has been patient with Germany. It has been patient in the Philippines. It has been exceedingly patient in dealing with Merico. I hope this country will be equally patient and more than patient in dealing with Haiti—a weaker and more unfortunate country! I very much wish that it might have been possible for the United States to have taken action to bring known to the Haitians the purposes we have mind in taking over the control of governmental affairs. While everything that we intend to do, and have in mind to do, is perfectly plain to the officials of the United States, we must remember that all this is not perfectly plain to the Haitians. It would have been worth while, in my opinion, before attempting arbitrarily to force Haiti to sign the treaty put before its officials, to have spent a little time and a little patience in informing the Haitian people of the unselfish benevolence of our intentions. They, in time, would have understood why it is necessary to intervene in their affairs. We have understood why it is necessary to interfere in this matter is that the treaty, even at the best cannot be ratified. The United States Senate until it meets in regular session in December, unless the President calls it in special session earlier. The Treaty Seems Harsh and Precipitate. I confess that while I am unschored in such matters, since reading the treaty the Haitians have been told they must ratify, it seems to me rather harsh and precipitate; one cannot be surprised that the Haitians have hesitated to agree to all the conditions provided for in this treaty. No wonder they have hesitated when they have had so little time in which to understand it, when the masses of the Haitian people know little or nothing of what the treaty contemplates. The war matters are now going, there is likely to be bitterness and war. The United States will control will have its way, but it one thing to conquer a people through love, through unselfish interest in their welfare, and another thing to conquer them through the bullet, through the shotgun. Shooting civilization into the Haitians on their own soil will be an amazing spectacle. Sending marines as diplomats and Mauser bullets as messengers of destruction breed root and anarchy, and are likely to leave a legacy of age-long hatreds and regrets. I also hope the United States will not pursue a mere negative policy in Haiti, that is, a policy of controlling the customs and what not, without going further. This is not a good policy, and are likely to leave a legacy of an opportunity to do a big piece of fine work for Haiti in the way of education, something the island has never had. I hope some way will be provided by which a portion of the revenues will be used in giving the people a thorough up-to-date common school, agricultural and industrial education. Here is an excellent opportunity for some of the young colored men and women of the United States who have been educated in the best methods of education in this country to go to Haiti and help their fellows. Here is an opportunity for some of the most promising Haitian boys and girls to be sent to schools in the United States, where an opportunity is an advantage and power, giving the Haitian nation they have never had, and that is education, real education. At least 95 per cent. of the people, as I have said, are unlettered and ignorant. So far as books are concerned. The United States Must Be Very Patient With Haiti. In carrying all these suggestions into practice, let me repeat again and again that we will have to be patient with Haiti. We ought to be patient. We are big enough and strong enough to be patient, not arbitrary and force-compelling in our relations with her. Also, we ought to be careful in the class of white men sent to Haiti as officials. Here is the first experience American white people have had to live and work in a black man's country, with black men in what is called a white man's country. This is every Haitian would rather be swept from the face of the earth than give up his independence or his country. He does not wish the dominance of the white man. They are a proud people, albeit an ignorant people, often mistaken in their ideals and methods, but nevertheless a proud people, determined to preserve the independence won by their ancestors in the face of great odds. The average American white man is not fitted to work with these Haitians. The average army officer, or naval officer, is not fitted to work with these Haitians. The average white soldier or white marine is not fitted to live and work among these Haitians. The racial lines which are drawn in this and other countries will not be tolerated in Haiti, and American white men who go there should understand that they want to be hite men in their man's country if they want to live there and work there and have any influence there. An American who, in an official capacity, had opportunity to observe Haitian affairs, writes: "Degeneracy has been charged against the Haitian, but it is a charge in error. The Haitians are by far the most virile people of the West Indies, American immigrants under the Indian country's should be frustrated of the intentions of the United States when it appears in the role of the Big Brother offering assistance in the deepest sincerity, yet Latin-Americans conscientiously feel that there is good and sufficient ground for their distrust and will care you many occurrences of history which they insist are proof that the United States possess a robustious policy of territorial expansion under the cloak of benevolent aid." Difficult for White Men to Understand Black Men. It is very necessary then for us to recognize two things. First, the virility of the Haitian people, and second, their distrust or American intentions. They should be with over and their distrust should not be accentuated by any action which may seem to suggest the dominance of an alien government as a permanent factor in their affairs. In other words, it should be made perfectly plan to the Haitians and to all others that the United States has but one object in view in going into Haiti and that is to help the Haitians govern their own country. It is very difficult for any white man to understand, to put himself in a black man's place, to understand black people understand their methods, their ideals. There are only a few white men in the United States who understand, or even undertake to understand, the American Negro, and there are still fewer white men in this country who can go into Haiti and get the sympathy, the cooperation and the confidence of the Haitians, simply and mainly because it is not possible for many white people to even try to understand and work with black people. We should remember that the United States is at a great disadvantage in dealing with Haiti as compared with Germany and France, for example, both of which countries have interests in Haiti, because the Haitians have a deep-seated prejudice against white Americans. Year after year they have read about lunches and manifestations of prejudice against members of their race in the United States. The Haitians, the blacks, have made up their own defense of the United States are prejudiced against black people and do not mean to trust them with fairness or justice. The intervention of the United States in the affairs of Haiti should enable this country to change, if we are wise, the idea which the Haitians entertain regarding white Americans. We have the opportunity of proving to these people on the little island in the Carribean Sea who are striving, despite their many falls from grace, to establish a republican form of government on the basic James Bushard, Jr., has opened a first class tailoring and pressing establishment.

JUN. 28-. THE FEDERAL FUNDING FOR THE UNION OF AMERICAN FILM Makers Miller & Lyles Co., which will open at the Lafayette Theatre Monday ITH the public hungry for good musical shows, the Lafayette Theatre management will make a grand effort to give local theatre-goers what is wanted by presenting the Miller & Lyles Company, the biggest and best of all colored shows in the new musical production, "Da. dom." For weeks the engagement of the Miller & Lyles Company has been anticipated by the patrons of the Lafayette. Much interest is also being shown in this engagement by white managers and theatre-goers, admirers of Miller & Lyles, who enjoy an enviable reputation as comedians on the big vaudeville circuits. This is not Miller & Lyles' first appearance in a big musical show, however, as they were the hit of a white production put out a few years ago by George W. Lederer. Other well known artists will be seen with this new aggregation, among them being Henry Trent. Troy, whose success as a soloist with Williams & Walker and other colored shows is well known; Allie Gillam and Will A. Cook, comedians; Fannie Wise, one of the leading soprano soloists of the race; Thompson, Cooper & Thompson, who have already established a reputation in Harlem by their singing, and Ida Forsyne, who recently returned from Europe, where she was for years a sensation in the foreign productions. The chorus of the Miller & Lyles Company is characterized as "The greatest chorus in America." Lester A Walton, producer of the show describes "Da dom" as a medley of mirth, melody and measured motions. Lines by Henry Troy, lyrics by Henry S. Creamer, melody by Will Marion Cook and James Reese Europe, and staged by Jesse A. Shipp and Will A. Cooke. The piece is in two acts and five scenes, and only a thin plot connects the comedy situations and the musical numbers, no attempt being made to give other than an entertainment chock full of comedy, singing and dancing. During the appearance of the Miller & Lyles Company at the Lafayette Theatre the orchestra will be augmented, and will be led alternately by Will Marion Cook and James Reese Europe. On the opening night a number of the members of the Four Hundred have been invited to attend, including Mrs. William K. Vanderbilt, and quite a number have accepted invitations. The Miller & Lyles Company, after laying at such representative colored theatres in the East as the Lafayette and the Howard will open over one of the big white circuits, playing in $2 houses. There will be no change in prices during the engagement of the company at the Lafayette Theatre. Box seats may be reserved by purchasing entire box, containing ten seats. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. At the Booker Washington Theatre, St. Louis, this week: William L. Gul- port, comedian, Burns and Burns, singers and dancers; Lucretta Knox, prima donna; Griffith Sisters, singers. The show is making good and drawing more than the house is able to accommodate. Russell Owens Stock Co. closed last week. Thomas A. Brokes, with Sliding, Watson-Wrothe Co., is at the Casino Theatre, Brooklyn. Joseph H. Douglass, violinist, appeared in recital Monday night, October 18, at Abraham Lincoln Center, Chicago, accompanied by his wife, Mrs. Lucile Douglass. Miss Grace Galloway, pianiste, also appeared on the program. The Grand Symphony Orghestra, Dave Payton, Jr., appeared in its third recital at Grand Theatre, Chicago, on tuesday afternoon, October 19. Soli- lists were Sallir Green Byrd and Josephite Devance, sopranos, and Hughie y "BLACK" PATTI HEADS BILL AT LAFAYETTE From a standpoint of quality the bill at the Lafayette Theatre the first half of the week equalled that of any big time house in New York. Every act was classy and entertaining and the many loyal patrons of Harlem's popular theatre found much to enthuse over. First in importance was the appearance of Mme Sissieretta Jones (Black Patti), whose engagement at the Lafayette in vaudeville during the week is regarded as a big event in theatrical circles. Hundreds of enthusiastic admirers of the celebrated singer turned out the first half of the week to pay homage, and the tribute to pay warmed the cockles of her heart. Strange to relate, a large number of Harlemites labored under the impression that "the real Black Patti" was not singing at the Lafayette Theatre and had to be convinced that the management was presenting the "real thing." Why such an impression should have prevailed is not known. Mme. Jones rendered four numbers, "Twas No Vision," a difficult piece, colorless and void of melody or anything inspiring, did not show the renowned solist at her best. The song is more suitable for concert work than vaudeville. "Nobody But You," was delightfully put over by Mme. Jones while she sang "Rose in the Bud," were sung as only a real artist can. Nobody san sing "Suawance River" like Mme. Jones, and her rendition of "Rose in the Bud" was a treat to all real lovers of music. Mme. Sissierette Jones' appearance at the Buchanan and Isaiah Young, tenors. * * * Billy King & Co. is at the Grand Theatre, Chicago, playing their farewell week The Grand is showing pictures of the Knights of Pythias encampment recently held at Columbus, Ohio.

Johnny Glass writes from London that good colored acts are in demand in England, despite the war, and that colored turns should take advantage of the opportunity and make their way to London. L. H. Saulbury, for many years a member of the Williams & Walker Co. and more recently a member of the Porto Rico Girls, died last week of tuberculosis. The deceased had been in ill health for several months. Rumor has it that S. H. Dudley and Jim Burris have joined hands and are working over the Western Vaudeville Circuit. --- The Miller & Lyles Co. is playing to large houses this week in Washington D. C. Jesse A. Shipp is in charge of the show. ```markdown ``` Patrons of the Lafayette Theatre continue to sing the praises of the female orchestra under Marie Lucas. The members of the orchestra are versatile, each young lady being able to play two or more instruments. Athletic Carnival of Clvie League. The United Civile League, under the auspices of the Salem Crescent Club, will stage athletic games and a dance Friday evening, October 29, at the 71st Regiment Armory, 34th street and Park avenue. Roy Morse will start in a field of classy runners who wish to measure strides with the champion. Valuable trophies offered insure the entries of the best athletes hereabouts. James Roese Europe is chairman of the entertainment committee and is as sie by the board of governors of the Civile League. A contest and music for dancing will be furnished by E. E. Thompson. Lafayette this week is an artistic triumph, and her engagement at this house has undeniably given additional tone what is generally regarded as the classiest and most refined "colored theatre" in the country. If you want to laugh you should see Simms & Thompson in their new military act. It is one big scream and is the best thing they ever did. At every performance Simms Thompson would be on toreces. Here is an act that should be gobbled up by the big time. It is bound to make good. One of the agreeable surprises of the season was the big hit made by Howard & Day, just from the Middle West, who have brought us avery-fit singing and talking act. Miss Howard is a most versatile young woman, who possesses a deep contrasto of unusual power, can talk well, is a carnet player of ability and presents a pleasing stage appearance George Day, who has been seen with various colored shows, is in good voice and wins favor in his tenor solo and his work with Miss Howard. Another change of costume on his part would enhance the value of the act, which is bound to attract the favorable attention of the public and the managers. Jane Franklin & Co., well known on the big time, has a funny sketch which is cleverly presented by four people. Gould & Lest and Arleys Dogs also score. Mme Sissieretta Jones (Black Patty), simms & Thompson and Howard & Day have been held over for the second half of the week. The Sullivan Meet in Jersey City. The Negro athletes of New York and vicinity rendered only a fair account of themselves in Jersey City last Sunday when more than 400 athletes of national fame participated at the Public Reservoir playgrounds in a set of games. Not a first place was copped by the colored athletes but many second and third The games were held to help raise a fund to erect a monument to the late James E Sullivan who was always a staircase frontier of the city. "J White of the Salem Crescent Club, was unable to get above third place in the 100-yard dash so great were the handicaps allowed D. Desch, of Newark and J. Haffer of St. Peters' Prep Both of these runners had a 72-yard handicap while White was on scratch. Time was 10 1-5 seconds. Aaron Morris, running unattached, came in sixth in the five-mile road run. Albert K. Smith, of Jersey City, representing the Salem-Crescent Club, was the only colored runner to place second in any event. With a handicap of six and a half yards he was second in the 220-yard dash to the winner who had a handicap of nine yards. B. Lauder of the Salem Crescent Club, won three places in the broad and high jumps. Walter Powe, of the Smart Set, after setting the pace in the special 880-yard invitational run up to one and one-half laps from home was passed by Higgins and Wilson Adams. Powe finished third.

Will Anthony Madden, one of the foremost men in basketball, manager of the world famous "incorporators," has been added to the staff of writers for THE NEW YORK AGE. Mr. Madden has been appointed to take charge of the basketball department and will write exclusively for THE AGE. Mr. Madden needs no introduction in the world of sports, as he is well known JOHN H. HARRIS and has a wide experience. He has been closely connected with and interested in basketball for about ten years, the last three years of which he has been a manager. He has managed five championship teams. In 1912-13 as manager of the St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's parish, he won the highest championship of the 1913-14 season. In 1914-15 on top, this time making a clean sweep as his teams won the heavyweight, lightweight and featherweight championships. It was during this season that the St. Christopher Club of St. Philip's parish reached the highest point of efficiency and its teams swept everything before them. Mr Madden had a squad of players numbering about thirty under his charge and working in conjunction with him as a feather, the famous Center Center Coach, Mr Madden securing Mr. Wetzel's services after much hard effort. Last season, 1914-15, the great split came in the St. Christopher club, and Madlen became manager of this new team, the "Incorporators". With this team he won another championship, this time in the heavyweight class, and with it the title of world champions. In engaging Mr. Madlen we feel justified in basketball and his ability as a writer and his knowledge of the game. He will follow the policy of this paper and be absolutely fair and non-partisan. His columns will be open to all the clubs, colleges and organizations, and all matter for Mr. Madlen's approval can be sent direct to him at 269 West 4th street, New York City. All the big games will be covered by him and no one club or team will receive any more space than another. As long established policy, Madlen will be strictly adhered to.

The idea of a universal dominion with an absolute universal ruler has from remote times until recent sent been in the mind of the thinkers all ages and nations.

ARTICLE IJI Section 1. The Legislative power of this state shall be vested in the senate and Section 2. The senate shall constit of fifty members except as haraherfter provided. The senators elected in the year shall be held in the state shall hold their offices for three years. SUPPLEMENT and their successors). They shall be chosen for (60 years). The assembly shall consist of 60 members, who shall be chosen for one year. **ABSTRACT.** The amendment simply eliminates the obsolete matter inclosed with brackets in Section 2. The state shall be divided into two districts, each of which shall choose one senator. The districts shall be numbered from one to fifty, inclusive. Section 3. The description of the senate districts as created by the constitution of being joined with district number one and ending with district number two. Such division of the state into senate districts is resumed here, in full because of the recent changes in the constitution of the legislature, chapter 72 of the laws of 1907, creating the present senate district and proposing constituted republican constituted constitution. The alteration of existing districts is left to the legislature of the state. The senate districts shall remain as at present constituted until altered as hereditary-provided. **ABSTRACT.** The amendment simply eliminates the obsolete division of the state into senate districts, explained by the note in Section 2. The assembly shall continue the present senate districts, fixed by the legislature in 1907, until the alteration to be made by the legislature in Section 4.—{A enumeration of the inhabitants of the state shall be taken under the direction of the secretary of state and the district judge, year one thousand nine hundred and five and in the same months every tenth year thereafter; and the said district shall be so altered by the legislature at the first meeting after the return of every enumeration.} Such encounters district shall be so altered by the legislature at the first regular session after amendment taken in the year one thousand nine hundred and fifteen and shall remain unaltered during the regular session of the legislature in the year after the tabulation of each federal census the senate Senate districts altered as herein provided shall remain unaltered until the time herein available for any such alteration the same becomes available for any such alteration the same constitutes the state, including cities, and the legislature shall provide for such an amendment for that purpose. In making such an amendment that each senate district shall contain as nearly as may be an equal number of inhabitants, compact form as practicable [and shall remain unaltered until the return of another senate district as practicable] and shall contain a list of contiguous territory, and no county shall be divided in the formation of a senate district wholly in such county. Section 5. The members of the assembly shall be chosen by single districts and fifteen by the first regular session after the return of [avery] the state enumeration taken in the year one thousand nine hundred and fifteen among the several counties of the state shall be altered to the number of their respective inhabitants, excluding allens]. At the regular session of the legislature, each member of the assembly shall be altered such member as assembly shall again be apportioned by the legislature. Appointments of members of assembly shall remain unaltered until the time of their respective apportionment thereof. Every apportionment of members among the several counties of the state shall be as nearly as may be according to the number of their respective inhabitants, excluding allens. Every county-heroetore established and separately organised, except the county of Hamilton, shall be a member of assembly, and no county shall hereafter be erected unless its population exceeds the number of members of Hamilton shall elect with the county of Fulton until the population of the county of Hamilton, according to the legislature, entitle it to a member of assembly may abolish the said county of Hamilton and annex the territory thereof. The quotient obtained by dividing the whole number of inhabitants of the state, by the number of members of assembly, shall be the ratio for apportionment which shall be made as follows one member shall be apportioned to the county of every county, including Fulton and stamiton as one county, containing two members shall be apportioned to every other county. The remaining members of assembly shall be apportioned to the counties according to the number of inhabitants, excluding aliens. Members apportioned to the counties having the highest remainder in the order thereof respectively to the counties having the highest number of inhabitants, excluding aliens. (Until after the apportionment of a member of assembly shall be apportioned to the several counties as follows: (su meratives, at length, the number of members apportioned by the constitution of such apportionment is not re-stated. Such apportionment is not seconded by the apportionment by legislative enactment under chapter 727 of the laws of 1907, which is still in force and not affixed to this revised constitution. Re-apportionment is left to the legislature of 1916.3 Assembly districts at at present constituted shall remain unaltered until altered as herein may be amended. An apportionment by the legislature, or other body, shall be subject to review by the supreme court, at the suit of any person, or the legislature may prescribe; and any court before which a cause may be pending involving an apportionment, shall be subject to review by the supreme court, causes and proceedings, and if [said] each court be not in session it shall convene promptly for the disposition of such cases. The amendment are to make the apportionment of members of assembly conform to the changed conditions under which senators are elected. The federal census, under the provisions of section 4. The existing apportionment and the changed conditions are most constituted are continued until an amendment of assembly districts, which are to be made in assembly districts, is not constituted, an applied to counties, the amendment also provides that in any city embracing an entire county, or more than one county, an apportionment of the boundaries of assembly districts with the board, having no board of supervisors, the amendment also provides that in any county the board elected from any such county to the board elected from another county, the boundaries of assembly districts with the board, the members of such board elected from the county of Richmond for instance, have a voice in fixing the apportionment. Section [9] 6. The elections of senators and members of assembly, pursuant to the provisions of the Constitution, shall be the successor of the Monday of November, unless otherwise directed by the legislature. The legislature shall receive any civil appointment within this state, or the senate of the United States, from the governor, the governor and senator of city government, during the term of which he shall have been elected; and all such appointments and all votes given such appointments, such office or appointment shall be void. **ABSTRACT**—The actual working of the section above eliminated has been to exert the effect of the appointment of senators having exceptional qualifications for particular offices. The section has never undertook the appointment of senators and governor, governor and senate and legislature, nor to any office whatever after the effect of the elimination of the section to make senators and assemblymen equally eligible with other citizens for any public office. **Section [Art. 10] 4. 6.** The political and legislative term shall begin on the first day of January; and the legislature shall be responsible to the first Wednesday in January. Failure to pay his railroad fare puns a premium upon staying home to save the expense if a member lives far from ALABAMA for forty years ago. The inadequacy of this sum for meeting the increased cost of living tends to exclude from the fabrication many competent and worthy citizens by the amendment. ABSTRACT.—The amendment adds the constitutionally assigned assembly to the list of constitutional officers and defines the circumcumbersion of the which the temporary president obeys the constitution, the lieutenant-governor. Events in the year 1913 distribution of the necessity of greater corporal training to the lieutenant-governor president of the senate during a lieutenant-governor, or his incapability to govern. ABSTRACT—At present each house of the legislature keeps a journal, and after the publication, but neither house keeps or publishes a record of its debates. The purpose of the legislature is to declare and full publicity to all proceedings of the legislature, to make the reasons by the legislature mature of public reactions, to make the reasons to the legislature and to make it more of an avenue to preferment for able young people. Section [12. 1]. For any speech or debate, in either house of the legislature, the legislature shall not be questioned in any other place. Section [13. 1]. Any bill may originate from any house of the legislature passed by one house may be amended by the other. Section [13. 1]. The enacting clause of all bills shall be "The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and no law shall be enacted except by bill." ABSTRACT.—The above section is changed so as to forbid the legislature hereafter to amend the bill, and to delay the last amendment and a reprint of the bill, thus removing an exception by which a bill may now be passed on the public of, every bill in final printed form and on the public of the legislature in mends. This change inures at least three days' scrutiny, by the legislature and the public, of every bill in final printed form and on the public of the legislature in mends. The latter part of the section is changed so as to remove the prohibition against amendment of a bill during the general session of the legislature. The prohibition has never been effective, because a motion to recommit, amend and report forthwith as amended is manifestly unnecessary. The proposed change restores in substance the provisions of the constitution of 1844, conforms to actual practice and simplifies and expedites procedure. Section [16] 17 No private or local bill, which shall embrace more than one subject, and that shall be expressed in the title. Section [17] 18 No act shall be passed by the legislature, which shall embrace more than one subject, or any part thereof, shall be made or deemed a part of [sad], such act, or law, or any part thereof, shall be existing law, or any part thereof, shall be accepted, except by inserting it in such act. Section [18] 19 The legislature shall not amend a part of [sad], local bill in any of the following cases: Changing the names of persons();] ```javascript // discontaining roads, highway or al- ``` loe or for draining swamps or other low land[.]; Providing or changing county seet[.]; Providing for changes of venue in stvl or diminishing[.]; Providing villages[.]; Providing for election of members of a committee[.]; Selecting, drawing, summoning or emancipating a grant or petit jurors[.]; Regulating the rate of interest on money[.]; The opening and conducting of elections or designating places of voting.1; Creating, increasing or decreasing fee, percentage or allowance of public, offender or other officers are elected or appointed;J Granting to any corporation, association or individual the right to process a claim against any person or entity for any claim;Authorizing any death decision of the state to oler or pay any claim or account;J Granting to any corporation, association or individual the right to lay down railroad tracks;J Granting to any private corporation, association or individual any exclusive privately owned railroad track;J Granting to any person, association, firm or corporation an exemption from taxation on real or personal property;J chartering companies for such purposes, except on the Hudson river below Waterford, and on the East river, or over the Hudson, forming a part of the boundaries of the state. The legislature shall pass general laws providing for the case enumerated in this section its judgment, may be provided for by general laws. But no law shall authorize the use of the property bound on, and the control of the road except upon the condition that the consent of the owner of one-half in value of the property bound on, and the control of the control of that portion of a street or highway upon which it is proposed to construct, or the control of that portion of a street or highway upon which it is proposed to construct, or the control of that portion of such property owners cannot be obtained, the appellate division of the supreme court, in appoint three commissioners who shall be constructed, may, upon application, appoint three commissioners who shall be constructed, whether such railroad ought to be constructed or operated, and their determination, confirmed by the court, may pass private or local bills. Action, if any, in such matters, must be taken by the amendment includes in the list of matters as to which private or local bills may not be passed, the granting to any copy of the bill, or the granting to prove a claim against the state or any civil division thereof, or authorizing a civil division to allow or pay a claim or ac- Section 19. 10. The legislature shall neither audit nor allow any private claim to be admitted to the civil division thereof; but may appropriate money to pay such claims and accounts allowed according to law. ABSTRACT. This amendment is to provide for a civil division of the state, thus allowing any private claim or account against a civil division of the state, thus prohibiting the legislature from auditing allowing any such claim against the state, thus prohibiting the legislature from the spirit of the prohibition of times overlooked by the direct appropriation of money by the legislature to pay such claims. The section as amended will prohibit that practice. The assent of two-thirds of the members elected to each branch of the legislature shall be requisite to every property for local or private purposes. ABSTRACT.—The second paragraph is the first one, primes the entire amendment. Under proposed article six the superintendent of public works is charged with the work of numbers it is charged for. It is believed that his estimates of money needed thereafter afford the best source of appropriating money thereafter. Such improvements are often of incidental amendment is designed to have the necessity for an-improvement determined in the form of a certificate of the desire of a member of the legislature, please the voters of his district. The effect of the last sentence is to leave the superintendent without a certificate from the superintendent of public works, for eliminating grade numbers and for certain highway construction. § 12. Sessions savenent and eleventh of this article shall not apply to any bill, or any other bill, except as provided by the legislature by commissioners who have been appointed pursuant to a BARTFAC—This section is eliminated because unnecessary. The statutory revision commission therein referred to has long since completed its work and ceased to do so. Section 12.36.1 No provision or engagement shall be embraced in the annual agreement or comply with unlawful it is required to do so. Section 12.36.2 No provision or engagement in the bill; and any such provision or --- construction will be limited in its operation to such and similar conditions. to such appropriation. Section 218. Every law which imposes the tax shall distinctly state the tax and the object to which it is to be applied, and it shall not be efficient to refer to any other law to fix such tax or object. II 51. On the final passage, in either house of the legislature, of any act which creates a debt or charge, or makes, constitutes or revives any appropriation of public or trust money or property, or releases, or mandates the state, the question shall be taken by years and years, which shall be upon the upon the fifth of all the persons elected to either house shall, in all such cases, be necessary to constitute a quorum therein. Iii 52. The elimination of this section, the enactment of either house of the legislature from defeating, by more absence, the enactment of financiality of the which have the ascent of a majority of the Section 38.10 There shall be in each county, except in a county wholly included in a city, a board of supervisors, to be such manner and for each period as is or may be provided by law. In a city which includes an entire county, or two or more entire counties, the powers and duties of the county 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 not constitute a county not solely included in a city, any such form of government to become effective in any county only when approved by the electors thereof in each manner as the legislature hereof in each manner as the legislature hereof. No local or special law relating to a county or county except in a county or counties wholly included within a city shall be enacted upon request by resolution; of the province of the county or counties to be ABSTRACT.—This amendment permits the legislature, by general laws, to provide that a county, outside of New York city, be a county government; such choice to be made by the direct vote of the electors of the county. Under this, the governing officers of the county electors, if the legislature and county electors provide for a different form of government. The amendment also presents the enactment of special laws, outside of such city, except upon request of the governing body of each county affected. Section [12].18. The legislature shall, by the enactment of special laws, be supervised or other governing bodies, of the several counties of the state such further powers of local legislation and administration as the legislature may from time to time have, and from counties which now have, or may hereafter have, county auditors or other fiscal officers, authorised to audit bills, accounts and records of the county, the legislature may confer such powers upon [sald] such auditors, or fiscal officers, as the legislature may, from time to time, authorise or elect a county officer or officers of the powers and duties now exercised by the towns of any county or the office or officers thereof relative county government, public safety and the core of the power. ABSTRACT.—The amendment allows the legislature in the interest of efficiency, to transfer the responsibility to transfer to county officers functions with respect to highways, public safety and the care of the poor, now held be within the province of town authority. Section 113.19. (The legislature shall not nor shall the common council of any city be required to compensate the compensation to any public officer, servant agent or contractor.) No servant compensation shall be granted or allowed to any public officer, servant, agent or contractor, by the board, board of education, board, officer or other agency of a state, or of any such civil division. Abstract.-Extra compensation is compensation in addition to that provided by the state to the servant agent to gratuity. This section prohibits the giving away of public funds without legal consideration to parties having official contractual relations with the state or with the civil division. The necessity for this amendment arises from the changes made in the appropriating and auditing authorities of cities and towns that does not covered by the present section. Section 12.18. The legislature shall, by law, provide for the occupation and employment of prisoners sentenced to jail, and reformatories in the state; and on and after the first day of January, in the year one thousand eight hundred and ninety-three, the legislature shall be required or [allowed] to work while under sentence thereto[,] at any trade, industry or occupation,[,] wherein profit of his work, shall be farmed out, contracted, given or sold to any person, firm, association or corporation. This legislature from providing that convicts may work for, and that the products of their labor may be disposed of, to the state or [or] any public institution owned or managed and controlled by the state or any [political] civil division thereof. ABSTRACT.-The expression "political dissatisfaction" may be used to conform to other similar references in this constitution. Section 12.19. The legislature shall have the power to expire or prohibit manufacturing ABSTRACT. -The power given to the legislature is limited by the explanatory. Without such provision, the legislature would probably not have the power to prohibit manufacturing in the lego-gift industry. ARTICLE IV. Section 1. The executive power shall be rested in a governor, who shall hold his office and be obeyed by lieutenant-governor and for the same term. The governor and lieutenant-governor elected next preside over the governor, and take effect, shall hold office until and including the thirty-first day of December, one thousand eight hundred and ninety-seven and one thousand seventy-sixth. The governor shall receive for his services an annual salary of ten thousand dollars until he becomes governor, the general receives for his services an annual salary of ten thousand dollars until he becomes governor, the general receives for his services an annual salary of ten thousand dollars. There shall be provisions for a suitable and furnished executive residence. ABSTRACT. — The amendment increases the governor's salary from ten thousand dollars per year after January 1, 1817. Section 2.

ARTICLE [VL] FUJ Section 1. The supreme court is continued with general juridiction in law and equity, subject to such appellate juridiction or may be prescribed by law not inconvenient with this article. The existing judicial districts of the state are continued until changed as hereinafter provided. The auctions [now] in office on the first day of January, one thousand nine hundred and sixton, and successors of the three judicial transferred to the district, and of two additional judicial proclaimed, and of two additional judicial shall reside in and be chosen by the electors of the first judicial district, and their successors, together with such additional successors, to the proceedings of the judicial pursuant to the procedures of the [and of the judges transferred thereto by the fifth section of this article, all of whom shall continue to be justices of the district, in the first district, three in the second, three in the third district, and of their successors.] The successors of said justices shall be chosen by the electors of their respective judicial districts once after every federal court or state enumeration [under the constitution of the inhabitants of the ABSTRACT--This section is amended as to provide for the continuance of the state in four judicial departments in the number of justices of the appellee division in the first department not less than or not more than two justices in each of the three leaving five justices in each of the departments, as at present provided. In order to make it possible for the appellate department to dispose of the growing volume of its business, which in 1915 amounted to upwards of 1000 appellants and 650 original justices, the court is now in court in the state—the court is hereby to sit in two parts, and if the presiding disability of any of those regularly designated. The appellate jurisdiction of the appellate term embraces, generally speaking, the appellate court of inferior courts within such departments, subject to exceptions as to certain courts and limitations as to certain judgments and orders which clearly appear from the appellate court. The appellate court restricts its jurisdiction. Appeals to the appellate division from judgments or orders of the appellate term are to be taken on a right only when the appellate term, or the appellate division, makes new findings of fact and renders judgment thereto but it is provided, that appeals to the appellate division may be allowed, since this amendment is related to the rule that appellate divisions from the consideration of matters which are generally of less importance than those arising in the supreme court, and on the other hand to make of the appellate divisions amplified and efficient branch of the court. Section [31]. No judge or justice shall sit in the appellate term, appellate division or in the court of appeals in review of a decision made by him or by any court of appeal. The appellate term is numbered. The testimony in equity cases shall be taken in like manner in as cases at law; and, except as herein otherwise provided, the legislature shall have the same jurisdiction and proceedings in law and 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 is made by him or by any court of which he was at the time a sitting member, is extended to the appellate term, the same reasons which induced the prohibition being equally applicable to the other. Section [43]. The official terms of the justices of the supreme court shall be the same as those of the court of the day of January next after their election. When a vacancy shall occur otherwise than by expiration of term in the office of a justice, the vacancy shall be filled for a full term, at the next general election; happening not less than three months after the vacancy occurs.

If the senate shall vacate the office of the senate, it may fill such vacancy by appointment, which shall continue until and including the last day of December next after the appointment at which the vacancy shall be filled. Section 6. To secure a more simple, speedy and effective administration of justice, it shall be the duty of the legislature to act with all concilient speed upon the report of the court, and to appoint a deputy to the legislature by the governor on the twenty-first day of April, one thousand nine hundred and fifteen, and to enact a brief, and simple civil procedure act and to adopt a separate procedure for the case of appeals, supreme court and county courts. The legislature may make the civil procedure rules or any part thereof applicable to such other courts as it may provide, or otherwise, for such cases, 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 may appoint a commission by a single bill, and the legislature shall not otherwise, or at any other time, enact any law prescribing, repeating or changing the civil procedure in the court of appeal, or judges or jurists empowered to make and amend civil procedure rules shall certify that legislation is necessary. After the adoption of the civil practice rules by the legislature under the requirement to appear in court to appear to alter and amend such rules and to make, alter and amend civil practice rules shall cost and remain in the courts of the state to be heard. The state shall be required to provide the justice of the applicable decisions of the supreme court, or by both judge or justice of the court of appeals, the supreme court shall county courts as the supreme court shall provide. This section is intended to remedy the existing evils of the civil practice in the courts of the state. It encompasses the adoption of the justice act and a body of justice rules which shall act the place at the practice now regulated by the code of civil procedure. Under the present procedure the practice is regulated by rigid statutory law. The courts are accountable controversies over more matters. If the provisions of this section are carried into effect the practice will be required to establish court rules which will tend to remove the more problematic practice. It places the responsibility for the administration of justice upon the courts rather than upon the legislatures. The section has been prepared by the board of statutory consolidation which has been engaged upon the task for over a decade and prepared the statutory record of the next two years being chiefly to the civil procedure in the court. This board consolidated the general statutes of the law and prepared the statutory record of the state as well as that of the general statutes. Its report upon prosecution three volumes which is referred to in this section is being examined in the statute and is being examined by a joint committee of the legislature and committees of the various bar associations of the state legislature for action at its next session. ABSTRACT — This section makes the court of claims a permanent court of the state, and provides the constitution as are the courts of the state therein. The recent changes in this body for political purposes by the legislature the court as a constitutional tribunal so as to give it permanence and improve its efficiency. The language of the provision relating to this court, except that the legislature may confer upon the court the power to determine conflicting claims between it does not now possess. [5] 5.

Appeals from the supreme court are made by the court of common pleas for the city and county of New York and the superior court of Buffalo, shall be heard in the superior court of New York, justice or justices as the appellate divisions in the respective departments which include New York and Buffalo shall direct, unless otherwise provided by the legis- ABSTRACT -This section is eliminated as being now obsolete. If 8. Court courts and courts of over and courtiner are abolished from and after the last day of December, one thousand eight hundred and thirty shall thereupon be vested in the supreme court, and all actions and proceedings then pending in such courts shall be transferred to the supreme court for hearing and determination. All actions and proceedings as otherwise provided in this article, may hold court in any county.] **ABSTRACT**—The first two sentences of this eliminated section are obsolete. The last sentence is unnecessary and impossible of all the justices of the state and there is no restriction as to the locality in which a justice may serve. This article in several provisions assumes the transfer of justices from one county, district or department to another. Section 5. Supreme court commissioners may be appointed as heretofore provided, one or more of whom may be designated by the commissioner whose private property is taken for a public use in the judicial department or district for which they shall have been appointed, when such commissioner may respectively be designated as reference whence issues are properly referred for determination or report, and who shall perform such other or further duties as may be required by the court by the appellate diction or by the civil practice rules.

The legislature may at any time authorize the appointment of supreme court commissioners in the third and fourth judicial departments from time to time and a charge against the city of New York. Such commissioners shall be members of the bar of not less than ten years standing. They shall not practice as a commissioner of the United States. They shall hold office during the pleasure of the respective appellate dictionaries by which they shall have been appointed, and commissioners in office shall not hold any other office or public trust.

The legislature is empowered to authorize the appraisal of such commissioners in the third district, to three counties, and in the counties in the second department not within the city of New York.

ABSTRACT.--The amendment to this section abolishes the county court of Kingia, Queens, Rhimbona and Ibony, increases the county courts in common law actions to $3,000 and authorizes the legislature to extend their jurisdiction to causes in which a defendant is a defendant, if he have an office for the transaction of business within the county and the cause of action arose therein in response to a very wide demand. ABSTRACT.—By the amendment to this section, surrogates and surrogates' courts are given the jurisdiction now described by the legislature with all other powers. By the extension of the jurisdiction of those officers and courts by the code amendments of 1813 were renamed as too recent and experimental to justify more than continuance of such jurisdiction. The surrogate change or modification. The surrogate of any county is authorized to hold a surrogate's court in any other county when requested by the surrogate of such county at any time to consolidate the offices of county judge and surrogate in any county. Section (16) 18. The legislature may, or application of the board of supervisors not to exceed two in any county, to discharge the duties of county judge and or surrogate, in cases of their inability or of a vacancy, and in such other cases as may be provided by law, and to exercise the powers of law as are or may be provided by law. Section 20. The court of general sessions is ind for the city and county of New York in January, and the city and county of New York in January, and the county of New York and district it shall have the same jurisdiction and powers throughout the city of New York, unless the city of New York, as it now possesses within the county of New York, it shall rest of the judges then to office and the judge thereafter to office. The county of New York shall continue to be judge of the county of general sessions of the city of New York. ABSTRACT.—By this new section the court of general sessions in and for the city and county of New York is continued, and jurisdiction is extended throughout the city. New York under the name of the court of general sessions of the city of New York, such court to consist of the judges of the county together with the county judges of the city of Richmond and Bronx then in office, the successors to all of said judges to be chosen by the electors of the counties been elected. The distribution of judges for purposes of election, among the counties, and the number of such judges, are provided for in the text. All pending cases are to be transferred to the consolidated are to be transferred to the court of general sessions on January 1, 1917. The creation of this court as a constitutional court and the consolidation of jurisdiction is in the interest of increased efficiency. Abstract—By this new section the city tinued, and from and after January judges and others. It has been recognized that such consolidated courts would relieve the supreme court of a great number of cases, and that numerous courts of civil and criminal jurisdiction, respectively, which would beter meet the requirements of the business in the city of New York than the existing separate courts. Under U.S. law, inferior local courts of civil and criminal jurisdiction may be established by the legislature, but no inferior local court thereafter created after the first day of January, one thousand and eight hundred and eighty-three, may be issued by the board. (The) Earent as herein provided the legislature shall not hereafter confer upon any inferior local court of its creation any county jurisdiction or any greater jurisdiction in other respects than the one under county jurisdiction or under this article. ABSTRACT.—In order to prevent the constant tendency of inferior local courts to extend their powers and jurisdiction, this chapter addresses the court created after January 1, 1886, be a court of record. To meet the decisions of the court of appeals that under the jurisdiction of the court cannot extend the jurisdiction of a local court beyond the limits of the city or village in which it is established, the provisions of the court courts are amended by authorizing the legislature to provide that the territorial jurisdiction of any inferior local court now existing or bereaver contained within the county in which such court or justice is located and also throughout such city or village, shall extend throughout the county in which such court or justice is located and also throughout such city or village. The legislature is also authorized to create civil divisions, consisting of not to exceed three contiguous towns or parts of counties in which said towns are located, theretofore inferior local courts, having territorial jurisdiction throughout the county or counties in which said towns are located, theretofore inferior local courts, having territorial jurisdiction upon any inferior local court power to try without a jury offences of the grade of misdemeanor, thus enabling these petty offenses to be dealt with in the county in which said towns are located, grant jury investigation and trial by jury after indictment. To enable the legislature to keep pace with modern theories of criminals, but as wards of the state, a provision is also included in this section empowering the legislature to establish children in the county of domestic relations for the protection of neglected children and wives. Section [21]23. The legislature shall pro- tect the rights of the citizens in the judicial system. civil practice rules and rules of court, -and the collection, compilation and distribution of the information in the judicial statistical of the state, and shall regulate the reporting of the decisions of the courts; but all laws and judicial decisions shall be free for publication by any author. ABSTRACT—This section, as amended, requires the legislature not only to provide for the speedy publication of all statutes but of civil practice rules and rules of law; also for the collection, compilation and publication of the laws, the laws and criminal judicial statutes of the state, in order that the people may become better informed than at present懂懂 the work of their courts of justice.

The office shall hold their offices until the expiration of their respective terms. The legislature may provide for the appointment of a commissioner of larceny in any county; in a commissioner of robbery in any county; in the respective appellate divisions of the supreme court embracing those districts, and in a county in the other judicial districts, by the commissioner of robbery in each county; in the judicial district embracing such county. The legislature shall define the duties of commissioners of larceny, fix their terms of office and compensation which shall be a county charge. ABSTRACT. This new section continues the commissioners of larceny now in office, and authorizes the legislature to provide for the appointment of commissioners in any county. The object of this provision is to enable the legislature to take the appointment of jury commissioners out of the hands of political officials. Section 82. Laws may be passed to provide for a system of judicial authentication, registration and guaranty by the state, or by any county thereof, of titles to real property, the title, the property, the title, the estate, the establishment by means of fee or otherwise of assurance funds to make such system operative.

The credit of the state shall not in any manner be given or loaned to or irr of any individual, association or corporation. The state may, to meet casual deltois or failures in revenues, or for expenses not provided for, contract debts; but such debts, or contingent simply or in the aggregate, shall not at any time exceed one million of dollars; and the debts, or in the aggregate, shall not such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which they were obtained, or to repay the debt so contracted, and to no no other purpose whatever.] contract debts in antifallion of the receipt of taxes and income, and within the amounts of appropriations therefore made; bonds or other obligations for the monies so borrowed shall be taused as may be provided by law, and shall with the interest therein be paid from such taxes and within one year from the date of issue. ABSTRACT.—The amendment to this section makes the following changes. At present, the state may contract debts, out of which the state may borrow up to one million dollars, without limitation as to the time or source of repayment. The section as amended strikes out this limitation and creates a temporary purpose only may be created by law within the amount and for the objects of an existing appropriation in anticipation of taxes and revenues; but the purpose is to repel invasion, suppress the money arising from the creation from those taxes and revenues. Section 3. In addition to the above limited power to contract debts, the state may contract debts to repel invasion, suppress the money arising from the contracting of such debts shall be applied to the purpose for which it was raised, or to re-credit debts, and to no other purpose whatever. Accept the debt specified in sections two and three of this article, all debts contracted by the state after the second day of November, amount to an authorization to an authorization threat, hereafter or hereafter made and each portion of any such debt from time to time so contracted irrespective of the terms of such authorization, shall be paid in equal annual instalment, and the amount of such debt more than one year, and the last of which shall be payable not more than fifty years, after such debt or portion thereof shall have been contracted. No such debt hereafter or portion shall be payable not more than one year longer than that of the probable life of the work or object for which the debt is to be contracted, to be determined by general law, which determination shall be conclusive. The least amount of interest to be paid upon any stale debt which has been or may be authorized pursuant to the provisions of this section or upon any part of such debt, provided, however, that the rate of interest shall not be exceeded or other restrictions thereof which has been or shall be created or licensed before such aration. ABSTRACT—The amendment to this section makes the following changes: At present, state bond issues are secured by shinking funds, which have proved unacceptable. The above section as amended substitutes the simpler and cheaper serial bond system for the state, and also prevents long term bonds from being issued provides that local improvements contracted by the issue of any bonds under a vote of the people, whether such vote was taken beforeforeto or be taken hereafter, shall be paid off in equal annual interest, provides that such bonds shall represent the probable life of the work or object of such bond issue, but not more than fifty years. Such probable life shall be determined for different classes of bonds, which determination shall be conclusive. Section 5. The slinking funds provided for the payment of interest and the ex-tinguishmentment of the principal of the debts continued; then shall be separately kept and safely invested and neither of them shall be appropriated or used in any manner other than for the specific purpose such payment and exintinguishment as heretoafter provided. The comprotiler shall, each year appraise the securities held for investment, such payment and exintinguishment as heretoafter provided. The comprotiler shall, each year determine and certify to the legislature the amount of each such funds and the amounts which, if thereafter annually contribute and with the accumulations thereon and more the contributions thereon, computed at the rate of three per cent per annum, produce at the date of maturity the amount of the debt to be repaid. If thereafter annually legislature shall thereon appropriate as the contribution to each such fund for such year at least the amount thus certified in any year is more than a sum which, if annually added to such fund would, with the fund and its accumulations as amended, retire the debt at maturity the excess income may be applied to on the debt for which the fund was created. After any sinking fund shall grant in amount the debt for which it was granted no further contribution shall be made thereto except the annual appropriation above mentioned, and the annual approvals above mentioned, and the income thereof will be applied to the payment of the interest on such debt. Any increase in such income not required for the payment of interest may be applied to the general fund of the legislature may also by general law provide means and authority whereby outstanding bonds of the state, for which sinking funds are provided, may be exchanged at payment of interest. The legislature authorized under section four of this article upon such terms and conditions as to interest and otherwise as it may in its discretion alter or determine, except that the debt as such may be exchanged at and at no greater comparative cost to the state than the original debt; the determination of the legislature as to such comparative cost shall be conclusive. No further contributions to the respective sinking funds shall be made to the amount of bonds outstanding of the same issue may be appropriated, as well as the payment of the substituted tender bonds. ABSTRACT.—The amendment to this session makes the following changes: At present, contributions to the state sinking funds vary in amount, and are uncertain in their nature. The amendment provides for automatic and correct annual contributions to insure a normal increase in these funds, so that each will be sufficient to pay the debt at maturity, and also for exchanging such sinking fund bonds for cash in the simpler and safer serial form. **ANATHEM.** The amendment to this section makes the following changes: The present provision for contributions to sinking funds has resulted in too much being paid in most cases, and too little in some others. The above section as amended supplies a mandatory proclamation directing the state to pay the state for interest, installments of principal; contributions to existing sinking funds, and in case of its failure so to do, the controller is directed to make such payments of the first available, money in his hips. Section [127] [Improvement of highways.—] Debts hereafter authorized for the land whose sinking funds should be created only in the manner provided in section four of this article. No provision of this article shall be deemed to injure or affect the validity of any debt of the state herefore contracted or any other debt of the state between the state and any of its civil disputes. A debt or debts of the state may be authorized by law for the improvement of highways. Such highways shall be determined under general laws, which shall also be determined among the counties. The aggregate of the debts authorized by this section shall not at any one time exceed the sum of fifty millions of dollars. The payment of the debts shall be made and the creation of a sinking fund of at least two per centum per annum to discharge the principal at maturity shall be provided by general laws whose force and effect are not known. The existence of any debt created thereunder. The legislature may by general laws require the county or town or both to pay the sinking fund the proportionate part of the cost of the project. The boundaries of such county or town and the proportionate part of the interest thereon, but no county shall at any time be required to pay more than thirty-five hundred dollars such highway, and no town more than fifteen hundreddots. None of the provisions of the fourth section of this article may be amended in the improvement of highways hereby authorized. ANIMATION.—The amendment to this section makes the following changes<sup>4</sup>: The present section provided a specif method for the establishment of a provision which substitutes a provision which allows highway bonds to be issued in the same manner as the other bonds of the state. No amendment to the article is to affect such highway bonds as the highway bodies pursuant to the law appeared to be required by the general election held in the year one thousand nine hundred and turtles, which have been apportioned to certain counties in excess of the number required by the law, which are or will be required to construct and improve the highways theretofore deter mined by general laws to be constructed and improved in such counties what be applied by the legislature. The provision by the legislature to the construction and improvement of such state routes and portions thereof, as were defined by law when such counties were made into such county, be made biennial certificate. ABSTRACT.-By a peculiar situation, over two million dollars have been lawfully apportioned among seven* counties for the improvement of highways therein under circumstances which *sevent* the money for which the money might otherwise have been used are already constructed. The above new section is designed to make use of unfinished construction and improvement of unfinished construction and improvement of unfinished county lines of highways outside of such counties. Section [6. 9]. Neither the legislature can court, nor any person or persons may be convicted of a crime, allow, or pay any claim which, as befits citizens of the state, would be barred by lapse of this provision. This provision shall not be extended to any statute fixing the time within which a claim is sented or allowed, nor shall it extend to any claims duly presented within the time alliance from the time it was executed with alliance from the time it was executed. But if the claimant shall be under legal disability, the claim may be pre-remitted in years after such disability is removed. Real property which has been or which may hereafter be appropriated for canal purposes shall be deemed to be held by the state in fee unless the state permits the canal to be used for the testing of surplus teachers of any of the state canals or canal fathers or of any waters impounded by the construction of dams, river or canal, or by the use of the state pursuant to general laws only, but this provision shall not authorize the use for other than navigation purposes of water directed to the canal. Such laws are the state tenderer shall in any way injure, impair, interfere with, or endanger navigation or the construction, use, maintenance, operation of the canal, or the safety of the state. Each lease shall be for a stated period not exceeding thirty years and shall reserve to the state the right, whenever necessary, to manage and operation of the canal the management and operation of the canal the needs of navigation require it, to terminate or suspend the same and to regulate or alter the amount of surrender to be used thereunder,務要 the corresponding compensation for surrender without incurring liability upon the part of the state. ABSTRACT.—This amendment extends the existing prohibition against the sale, lease or disposition of the Erie and other canals, and the amendment therefore forbears heretofore or herenefor constructed. It also defines the canals to which such provision applies; such disposition being necessary to the enforcement of the bargain canals which, when completed will leave certain existing canals and canals lands in a condition where they can be disposed of. The amendment therefore provides that the abandonment, sale or other disposition of canals or canal property which shall cease to be owned only pursuant to general laws,which shall secure to the state the fair appraisal value thereof. The granting of enements is confined to enements for necessary bridges. It is also provided that surplus waters of the canals may be leased, but only to the extent permitted by laws. The paragraph relating to rent property appropriated is designed to remove an uncertainty as to the stater's right to rent property with waived rights. ARTICLE X. Section 3. For the assessment of real property hereditary locally assessed, the legislature which unless it be a city, shall embrace more than one county. The assessors therein shall be elected by the electors of such districts or appointed by such authorities thereof as shall be established. The assessors provide that the assessment roll of each larger district shall serve for all the lesser districts within its boundaries; such districts shall be established upon the same provision shall have been adopted by a vote of majority of the electors rating the invention in such provision shall be established upon the same provision shall be made by law. The legislature may, however, provide for the assessment by state authorities of all the prop. estimated classes of public service corporations. Answers—Sections two and three require to be read in conjunction. Their effect is as follows. All taxes are required by public purposes only. The legislature is required to classify the subjects of taxation and to designate what officials shall assess of ordinary real property the processing officers must be selected locally. The legislature is to establish, outside of a county not larger than a county, but no tax district larger than a town can be established without a local referendum. One system of assessment and collection may be used within the larger tax district unit. This will avoid the present extensive duplication of work, resulting in a large saving in processing officers and providing for supervision, review and qualification of assessments, which will make for greater uniformity and less inequality to provide for the assessment of all the property of public service corporations by state authorities. The nature and extent of selection and evaluation, telephone and electric properties has been found to preclude their proper valuation by local assessors. These sections were complete and unharmed in practice, with the subject of taxation to the end that property now notoriously escaping taxation may be made to bear a just share of the burdens of government. ARTICLE [VIII] XI Section 1. Corporations may be formed under general laws; but shall not be created by special act, except for municipal purposes, and in cases where, in the judgment of the court, the corporation cannot be attained under general laws. All general laws and special acts passed pursuant to this section may be altered from time to time or repealed. The corporation may be accused by such individual liability of the corporators and other means as may be prescribed by law. Section 3. The term corporation as used in this section includes all associations and joint stock companies having any of the powers or privileges of corporations not possessed by individuals or partnerships. And all corporations shall have the right to sue and be sued in any case in any court in the cases as natural persons. purpose; but corporations or associations may be formed for such purposes under Section 8. The legislature shall have no power to pass any law sanctioning in any manner, directly or indirectly, the suspension or specie payments, by any person, the issuance of bonds, issuing bank notes of any description. Section 8. The legislature shall provide by law for the registry of all bills or money, and shall require sample security for the redemption of the same in specie. Section 7. The stock holders of every corporation or association for banking purpose, shall be individually responsible to the amount of their respective share; or shares of stock in any such corporation or association, for all its debts and liabilities. Section 8. In case of the insolvency of any bank or banking association, the billholders thereof shall be entitled to preferential creditors or other creditors of such bank or association. Section 9 Neither the credit nor the money of the state shall be given or loaned to any of any association, corporation or private institution. This section not however, prevent the legislature from making such provision for the education and support of the blind, the deaf and the hearing impaired, and may seem proper. Nor shall it apply if any fund or property now, held, or which may hereafter be held, by the state for purposes of Section 10. No county, city, town or villages shall hereafter give any money or property, or loan its money or credit to or in aid of any individual, association or corporation. Neither the owner of stock in, or bonds of, any association or corporation; nor shall any such county, city, town or village be held for county, city, town or village purposes. This section shall not prevent such county, city, town or village from making any fund for the support or support of its poor as may be authorized.
