The New York Age HOW THE NEGRO VOTERS STAND Men of All Walks in Life in New York City Tell How They Will Vote Tuesday FOR PERKINS & BOWERS Citizens Will Vote the Straight Republican Ticket, and Many of Them Give Specific Reasons Why They Will Do So. WORK TO DEFEAT TAMMANY The Main Effort of Republican Voters Will Be Directed; Toward Keeping Tammany Out of District Attorney's Office-Petkins for District Attorney and Frank Bowers for Sheriff. The colored voters in New York County will play a prominent part in the election of the candidate for district attorney and sheriff and they are hearty favorors of Perkins and Bowers for the executive offices. Even some of the contested and registered Democrats have signed their intention of voting for Republican candidates. The documents made to an Age represent cold logic and sound reasons basic experience were given by the many voters who are supporting these Republicans and who will cast their votes in November. It is the reason the Moss was no chance for election. To cast a vote for him is to defeat District Attorney Perkins. To defeat Perkins in the face of admirably efficient, administration, and direct Judge Swann, the Tammany Hall candidate, will be a calamity. Tiley feel that with a Tammany man in the office of district attorney it will be lessDATES for the non-working job grafters and political bosses to serve the defenseless public. the defenseless public. The reason given is that Perkins recommended to the office by him is the best possible man to the reform work instituted and to so successfully by Whitman.

Anderson, of New York City, as Supervising Agent of the Agricultural Department, with headquarters in New York City, the appointment to be effective November 1, 1915. Mr. Anderson was until recently Collector of Internal Revenue in New York City, which position he held under three Presidents. As collector his record was A No. 1, his office handling, more money, probably, than any other office in the revenue service. JAMES L. CURTIS GOES TO LIBERIA President Wilson announced on Monday, October 25, the appointment of Counselor James L. Curtis, of New York, as American Minister-Resident and Consul General near the Liberian Government, to be stationed at Monrovia, Liberia, succeeding the Hon. George W. Buckner, of Evansville, Ind, lately resigned. Mr. Curtis' owes his appointment to the good offices of Bishop Alexander Walters, who was tendered the position by the President in September. Bishop Walters declined to accept, but in declining, asked for the consideration of Mr. Curtis, at the same time strongly endorsing his claims. The appointment of Mr. Curtis is a recognition of his services in behalf of the democratic party in New York, with which he has been affiliated for some years. The former incumbent of this office, Dr. Buckner, left Monrovia in April on leave of absence and returned to this country. While at home he tendered his resignation to the President, but no publicity had been given to that fact other than an announcement by the Evansville Courier that such was Dr Buckneel's intention. It is believed that Mr. Curtis will fill the position acceptably and with satisfaction to all parties concerned. MARION, ARK, Oct. 26—The nerve and courage of Deputy Sheriff Williford, who also acts as jailer, frustrated the plans of a mob of 200 white men, who were intent on lynching Gene Judah, a Negro, confined in the jail under charge of criminal assault on a young woman at Earle, eighteen miles from Marion. The mob rode up to the jail at 2 o'clock in the morning and by a pretext got the jailer to open the door. But when the mob attempted to force its way in, Williford thrust his pistol against the leader's side and forced him outside. Then he locked the door and defied the mob, assuring them that he would defend the jail as long as his ammunition lasted. The members of the mob were cowed by his hold stand and left in their automobiles, going in the direction of Earle. man than Judge Swann, the Tammany candidate. THEODORE GIBSON, violinist, 35 West 131st street—I am a firm believer in voting the straight Republican ticket, therefore I am supporting Perkins and Bowers. HINRY JENKINS, 14 West 133d street—November 2 will find me at the streets casting my vote for Perkins and Bowers. The times call for straight Republican voting. Counselor WILFORD I. SMITH—"I will vote the straight Republican ticket. Perkins for district attorney and Bowers for sheriff." Counselor E. A. JOHNSON—"I will vote for the Republican candidates. Perkins for the district attorneyship and Bowers for sheriff." Drs. E. P. and CHAS. H. ROBERTS and JOHN E. NAIL were among those who expressed themselves favorably toward Chas. A. Perkins for district attorney and Frank K. Bowers for sheriff. E. ALDAMA JACKSON, 30 West 132d street—"Perkins, the Republican candidate for district attorney, and Bowers, the Republican candidate for sheriff, will receive my vote on November 2." A. PENDLETON, grocer, 35 West 132d street—"On general principles I favor the Republican party and will vote for its candidates, Perkins and Bowers." PHILIP A. PAYTON—"I am not decided as to voting for district attorney but will vote for Bowers for sheriff." JOE LIFE, 37 West 138th street—"I think that Perkins will make a good district attorney and Bowers a competent sheriff. I will cast my vote for them on November 2." HENRY C. PARKER, of Nail & Parker, "I wish to state to my many friends that I am supporting the candidacy of Mr. Frank K. Bowers for sheriff, for the following reasons: First, that I have known him for many years and I know that for over twenty-five years he has been serving the people of Harlem. Second, this is the first time that Mr. Bowers has run for public office and it is the first opportunity the people have had to reward him for the many years of loyal service to the people of this section. Third, he should be elected, if for no other reason than that his platform, which he advocates, stands for efficiency and economy. Surely when a public official offers to save the rent payer and the taxpayer of this country over $100,000 a year by proper business methods, he ought not merely to be elected by a comfortable plurality, HE OUGHT TO BE ELECTED BY AN OVERWHELMING MAJORITY Fourth, Mr. Bowers has been undersheriff for the last two years and knows the office and believes it should be a salaried one at $12,000 a year, while his opponent is a man who admits he knows nothing about the office, but wants the fees and salary, which amount to $72,000. Fifth, above all these reasons, the people of Harlem should support Mr. Bowers, because he is their neighbor, and for the sake of local pride I ask all of my friends to support Mr. FRANK K. BOWERS for Sheriff of the COUNTRY OF NEW YORK. Russell Fortune 7 years New York City Jesse Fogsett B. Anderson 5 years Plainfield, New Jersey Vincent Astor Harris 3 years Brooklyn, New York CHAS.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA.—The annual report of Dr. Booker T. Washington, principal of Tuskegee Institute, shows that a special campaign has been conducted during the past year to cause the farmers of the South to get away from the limitations of an all-cotton crop and follow the plan of diversifying their planting. In this way it is hoped to change the present hard"condition to soft. following upon a low price for cotton. That the work of Tuskegee is not confined to its immediate environment is shown by an account of the tours engaged in by Dr. Washington through various sections of the country, especially the State of Louisiana and in New York City. The National Health Week suggested by Dr. Washington, and observed generally throughout the country, reached a large proportion of the ten million Negroes in this country. The enrolmen for 1914-15 showed 1,537 students from thirty-two States and Territories and ninety-six from nineteen foreign countries and colonies. Through an arrangement with the Alabama Polytechnic Institute, Auburn, Ala., Tuskegee has become responsible for the expenditure of a part of the money provided under the Smith-Lever bill, and through the year movable schools were conducted which reached not less than 7,540 people in Alabama. In addition to this work there were held an annual short course for farmers and the Tuskegee Negro conference. Through the generosity of Julius Rosenwald, additional helpers have been provided and probably 100 rural schools have been built and equipped through the extension department of Tuskegee. The largest individual work at the school was the erection of the central heating plant, the work on which was done by the students. This plant includes power distribution, rewiring of buildings, building for new power plant, boilers, chimney, engines, generators, electric wiring, transformers, power piping and steam conduits, power storage and disposal systems, storage plant, railroad extension, engineering and superintendence. There has also been erected a new veterinary hospital, costing $5,000. The endowment fund amounts to $1,970,214.17. Receipts during the year ending May 31 totalled $379,704.83. ASURCY PARK, N.

Atlantic City was selected for next session after it was explained that Plainfield could not accommodate the grand lodge and grand court BENSON OF KOWALIGA DIES IN MONTGOMERY Special to TU, New York, ACS MONTGOMERY, ALA, Oct. 25 — William K. Benson, who had been at the head of the Kowalga Industrial Institute at Kofalga, Ala., died at the Hale Infirmary, this city, on Sunday, October 20 to follow an abdominal operation. With his father he formed the Dixie Industrial Company, capital stock, $100,000, and established a cotton ginery, oil mill, turpentine and naval stores plant, a wood alcohol plant, and other industries. He also built a railroad, fifteen miles in length, running from the town of Benson to Alexander City, Ala, which provided a means of putting the products on the market. Recently Mr. Benson was removed from active connection with these enterprises by action of the board of directors, headed by New York capitalists who controlled the stock of the Dixie Industrial Company. This action was brought about by a difference of opinion between Mr. Benson and the directors as to the advisability of entirely separating the school property and interests from all connection with the industrial enterprises. Mr. Benson made a hard fight against this action of the board but was defeated. He was married to Miss Olive King, daughter of John King, a large contractor and builder, Lagrange, Ga., who survives him. PRICE FIVE CENTS DR. WASHINGTON SPEAKS AT YALE Addresses the American Missionary Society in Session at Yale University Tells of Progress of Negro Schools But Declares that Their Need Now Is as Great as it was Immediately After Emancipation. EXPECT MUCH FROM NEGRO But the Facilities Given Him for the Acquirement of Higher and Intermediate Education are Inadequate and Not Equal to Facilities Provided for Aliens and the Few Surviving Indians. Special to The New York Age. NEW HAVEN, CONN., Oct. 27.—At the session of the National Council of Congregational Churches, held by the American Missionary Association in Woolsey Hall, Yale University, on Monday night, October 25, Dr. Booker T. Washington, of Tuskegee Institute, Ala., delivered a strong address on the work of the association among the Negroes of the South and the need for an expansion of that work. He declared that while the Negro has made remarkable progress along educational lines the work of educating him, a way just begun, and that after fifty years there is as great need for educational work as there was immediately fellowing emancipation. He declared that more attention was given to the education of foreign aliens than to the Negro, and that even the special schools for the few surviving Indians receive more money than do the schools, for higher and industrial training of the Negro. Dr Washington spoke in part as follows: A Generation's Transformation. A few days ago, I visited a little colony of black people near Moulte, Ala., several of whom I met. They were the last slave ship to reach America. Several of the older people still survive and tell interesting stories about their early and varied experiences. One of them even the book of the slave ship on which they were brought to this country, this has become a primary source of a translation has been brought in my case since the landing of the first slaves at Jamestown and the landing of the first settlers in the state of New York. It was growth in numbers, mental awakening, self-support, seeking of property, moral and religious development, and adjustment to relocation. Generation, are we more indebted for this transformation in the direction of a higher civilization than the American Missionary Acy. I have said we have grown in numbers. Do you realize that to day there are as many as 100,000 Negroes in the whole of Minnesota, Iowa, Missouri, North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska and Kansas? And do you know, as of course education was the pioneer factor in the educational work of Negroes. Your association essexed the Montrose, Va., the first school for freedom. In this school the first experiment among the freedmen in industrial education was made. I am therefore, in a way, the product of Association. No one of the religious organizations in the Negro has done a more useful work than your association. You are maintaining more schools in the Negro than any secondary education of the Negro. Anyone with a good work which educational institutions under the auspices of your association are doing I have in mind not only the larger and more important schools, but also the smaller and less well known institutions. During the past fifty years the progress of the Negro along educational, as along other lines, has been extraordinary. Fifty years ago the education of the Negro in the South had just begun. There were less than 1800 pupils who were only 14-19 schools for the freedmen and 2,087 pupils of whom 699 were colored. There were 111,442 pupils, 18,845 of these pupils were white and 55,596 were colored, studying and easy learning lesson classes, 4,175 were learning to write, 40,454 were studying arithmetic; 4,666 were studying the higher branches, which their were 2,124 students were taught sewing, knitting, straw to the reaping and making garments, in the schools, which their were also taught in enrolled junior schools of the South and over 100,000 in the normal schools and colleges. The 699 colored teachers of all the schools to over 40,453 were teachers in colleges and normal and industrial schools. Rapid Increase in Number of Institutions for Higher Education When the American Missionary Association began its work among the freedom there were in the South no institutions for higher and lower education; there were only four in the entire United States. In 1915 there are in the South fifty colleges devoted to their training. There are three universities, two in the South and two in the twenties the logical schools and departments. There are three schools of law, four of medicine, two of dentistry, three of the arts, and two of mechanical colleges and over 200 normal and industrial schools. Fifty years ago the value of the school program was small. The value of the property now owned by institutions for their secondary and higher training is over $1,200,000. Fifty years ago only training was provided for the education of the degrees. In 1914 over $4,100,000 was extended for their higher and industrial training, and $7,700,000 in their public schools. Remarkable progress long educational lines, nevertheless the work of educating him does in a way just begun. --- Ambassador there has been great progress in Negro education during the past thirty years, and the school system is growing in the whole, far below those in white schools. The majority of the rural schools in the south are still without school buildings, and the schools in the north are more recent, three to four months. The Negroes constitute about eleven per cent of the total population of the country, little less than 20,000,000 expended annually for education is spent upon them. Of the over $200,000,000 spent on special schools for Indians, about $480,000 annually, that is expended for higher and lower grades, for the Negro, a little more than $4,100,000. After fifty years there is as great need for work in educating the Negro as immediately following emancipation. And in some instances that there is a great need for the various philanthropic and religious associations to gradually withdraw their support and use their resources in other directions. After fifty years there is still as great a need for the work of the American Missionary Association as similar organizations to assist the education of the Negro there was immediately following emancipation. There are about 1,500,000 Negro children in the enrolled public schools in the large number, but not only wherever, as the number not in school. According to the United States Census reports, five two percent, of the Negro children in the South are enrolled in public schools, but are yet in the South over 2,000,000 Negroes who are unable to read or write. Almost all of them are returning to school. Although there are perhaps 100,000 Negro students enrolled in normal schools and colleges, statistics show that only about one percent of the Negro students are elementary grades. And only about one-third are returning industrial education. In the fifty colleges devoted to Negro education there are according to statistics, less than 3,000 students who are doing work of collegiate trade. More Attention Given to Educating Foreigners than to Educating In the North of the Jew, the Nazi the Italian, of whom many are such recent arrivals that they have been treated with great respect even under the easy terms granted them by the Federal naturalization laws, have all the advantages of education that are granted to every immigrant in the country. There are important opportunities for education over and above those given to the average citizen. In some instances might be taught in the summer, in Presbyterian schools which run into summer in the winter are continued throughout the summer, whenever a sufficient number of people be sent to the country as for example, in New York state, where large numbers of men were employed in designating Green Acoustic, cash schools were started where the men employed on these public works in the day might have an opportunity to learn English, French, German, and a special kind of textbook, written in two or three different languages, was prepared for use in these immigrant schools, and frequently taught in the native languages, if necessary. While in the North all this effort is being made to include education for these foreign countries, and will remain in a few months to theirborn countries, the Negro in the North has as its primary role in the country disasters more than four of four months' targets in the wreck of a log boat and by a teacher who paid about half the price received for the harm Negro expected to make as much progress in education as white. Receives for education about one-fifth of what the whites receive. There is something much talk about the importance of education to be that the above appears to be that the whites receive more than one-fifth of what the whites receive as they are making. Taking the Northern Nassau as a whole, about $100,000 per car is spent in educating the average white boy or girl about the average black child. . . . In order to furnish the Negro with education in the public school age new school and the 1,000,000 who are unable to read or write can have the proper change that they must be made to be expressed annuity to Negro public school education in the Negro to afford $1,000,000.

Vote early, and vote the straight republican ticket. PREPAREDNESS VS. UNPREPAREDNESS. STRONG WORDS. Dr. Revedy C. Ransom has a strong editorial in the current number of the A. M. E. Church Review on certain conditions in that denation. The entire article should be read and pondered by every member of the A. M. E. Church, especially those in high places. We quote the following striking paragraph: Petty chiefs, struggling for the ascendance in Mexico, and Haiti have brought anarchy and bankrupty, with their attendant ills, to these two unhappy republics. Are we to round out a century of denominational life by Mexicanizing or by Mexicanizing the A. M. E. Church? Certainly the stage is well prepared for the enactment of such a tragedy. The principals are preparing their roles, and many actors are ready to step from behind the scenes even before the curtain rises on the next General Conference. Shall the A. M. E. Church go to the way of the Black Republic of Haiti, and thus yield evidence to the wide belief that the Negro is incapable of self-government in church as well as in state? Office, honor, authority, power; to attain these things strong men both in Mexico and Haiti have sacrificed their country upon the altar of their personal ambitions. At bottom it is just Nelson of thing that is transpiring in the A. M. E. Church. There is no question of division among us on doctrine, on the best methods of propagating the work of education, or missions, or over the grave, moral social and political questions of the times. There is nothing about great constructive movements for the social, moral and spiritual advancement of the people. No; it is principally about who among us shall be chief. By some of the Bishops we learn the cry of "sectionalism" and "politics" raised. But if the cry of sectionalism has been raised and political methods raised to place men in the Bishopric, we should not, he surprised to find himself resorting to the unworthy methods by which they attained their high position. AN ENLIGHTENED SOUTHERN ATTITUDE. Whatever conditions may exist in the A. M. E. Church, there is, at least, this much that is hopeful and healthy: The editor of the foremost organ of that church dares to raise his voice and lay these conditions bare. PARAGRAPHS. Vote the straight Republican ticket on November the 2nd. He sure and vote "Yes" on Woman Suffrage. Also vote "Yes" on the New Constitution. Henry Ford denies that he offered to give a million dollars to the Canadian Red Cross to put himself straight with the people of the Dominion; anyway you put it, Henry has put himself in A humble manhood because they magnify us, that is how manhood will part by any chance to greatly a sense of those own magnificence. Mr. Smith, perhaps, unconsciously, spoils all that he says by adding, "Is not this the way to fit our children for the maintenance of white ascendency?" Did not the human race for untold thousands of years continue its slow but steady upward climb before there was any such thing as "white ascendency?" Was not the Negro the first bearer of the torch of civilization on that long march through the ages, and will not the white race some day, if the precedents of all history hold true, pass on the torch to other hands? If the Negro in the United States reaches the highest plane of development, and he is daily giving proof that he can do it, there should be no question of white or black ascendency; there should be nothing more nor nothing less than full American citizenship. Nevertheless, the spirit that at bottom actuates Mr. Smith is the one which if universally entered into will mean the dawning of a brighter and better day not only for the Black South, but for the White South as well. It was impossible not to be impressed with the Woman Suffrage parade which took place in this city last Saturday. It is estimated that more than 25,000 women marched, and that the procession was viewed by more than a quarter of a million spectators. There were no attempts at making the affair a pageant. Symbolic floats and costumes were conspicuous by their absence. The one, impressive thing was the sight of column after column of earnest women steadily marching on. There was a dignity and a majestic beauty about it that made a deep and, at times, solemn impression. In the line were old women; bent under their three score and ten years, but marching along bravely; there were thousands of women in the prime of life; and there were thousands of girls just reaching womanhood. There was no talking, no laughing, no glancing around, no mincing gait; column after column swing along with a free stride in time to the martial music of the bands; all eyes fixed forward; the faces of the older women tense with earnestness and those of the younger ones alight with enthusiasm. The colored women in the parade showed up splendidly. They were scattered, promiscuously in many of the companies. One body of colored women that marched together made a fine impression. Several companies were under the command of colored captain. KINGS CO. REPUBLICANS Votes for all of those and vote enty Justice Supreme Court STEPHEN CALLAGHAN County Judges GEORGE FREIFELD MARCUS B. CAMPBELL HARRY R. LEWIS Sheriff WILLIAM SCHNITZPAN County Clark CHARLES B. DEVOY District Attorney JAMES C. CROPSEY Register JOHN MacCRATE In fact, the women cannot be too highly complimented upon the success they made of such a large undertaking. There is no doubt that the parade made many friends for the cause of Suffrage, and that it will have an effect upon the coming election. While on the subject of Woman Suffrage we wish to supplement our article of last week by meeting another argument which is being advanced against the right of women to vote. It is held that the ballot in the hands of women will by no means solve our political and social problems and bring about the millennium. Well, suppose it doesn't—and nobody with practical, common sense claims that it will—what has that to do with the justice of the case? Why should it be demanded of women to accomplish something with the ballot that men have never yet been able to accomplish? Thousands of young men each year as they become of age are given the ballot, but no such demand is made of them. NEGRO MUSIC. We call the special attention of our readers to an article on "Ragtime" published elsewhere in this issue. In view of the fact that there have been so many efforts of late to rob the Negro of the credit of having created the only music that is distinctively American, such an article, written by an authority, and originally published in a magazine of such standing and wide influence as The New Republic comes in good time. On the place and importance of Ragtime in musical art, The Age will have something to say in another issue. Of course, the granting of the suffrage to women will not bring about the millennium, and it is unfair and unreasonable to demand that it should; however, it is certain that it will bring a higher and better influence into politics. President Wilson's intimation that he will attempt to carry through Congress a program of preparedness is arousing considerable apprehension on the part of the pacifists, especially on the part of William Jennings Bryan, who is attacking the tentative program both on the platform and through his paper, "The Commoner." We believe that every patriotic citizen of this country desires peace rather than war; yet we cannot understand how any man of practical sense can counsel that the nation, in this age when force still rules the world, should absolutely neglect the means of self-protection. Disarmament might be a good thing for civilization, and, perhaps, some day it will come about, but it will not be safe or sensible for the United States to disarm until all of the leading powers reach an agreement to do so at the same time. In a community, where the life and rights of every man depended upon his being armed and able to protect himself, any one man would be foolish to throw away his weapon; unless the great majority of men in the community agreed to do likewise and at the same time. For such a man to suppose that by throwing away his weapon he would set a moral example so high that others would be constrained to follow suit, would be a clear case of idiocy. THE HALL OF FAME THE HALL OF FAME. In a letter to The Tribune, Mr. Cleveland G. Allen nominates Frederick Douglass, Paul Laurence Dunbar and Harriet Tubman for the New York Hall of Fame. These nominations are all well within reason, especially that of Frederick Douglass. Several "immortals" have been selected whose claims are not so great as those of Douglass. Born a slave, starting life without even a name, he rose to the highest plane of American citizenship. Without a day's schooling he made himself a master of the English language and an orator second to none, which this country has produced. Through his intelligence, high mindedness and his great work in helping to kindle the spirit, which swept away slavery, he became the coworker with and friend of John Brown, William Lloyd Garrison, Henry Ward Beecher and Abraham Lincoln. Mr. Bryan declares that preparedness will not prevent war. Well, no man in his right mind claims that it will; and neither will unpreparedness do it; but, if war ever comes—and some day it certainly will, unless there is a radical and hardly to be expected change in human nature—is it not better to be prepared than unprepared? Mr. Bryan constantly reiterates the fact that we are a peace loving people; and so we are, but that has not kept us out of war. In the one hundred and thirty-nine years of its independence the United States has been engaged in five great wars, the War of the Revolution, the War of 1912, the Mexican War, the Civil War and the Spanish War; that is, one war for every twenty-five years of its existence as a nation. It can be seen that the above enumeration does not include the war with the Barbary States, the dozen or so Indian wars and the recent little wars with Mexico and Haiti. Few Americans are more entitled to a niche in the Hall of Fame than Frederick Douglass, and The Age heartily seconds his nomination. Neither by glancing backward over history nor by peering forward into the future can anything be discerned which looks like a guarantee that the United States will not at some time be engaged in another war. Thenis it not the duty of the country to make adequate preparation against such a day? Would it not be criminal to send untrained and unequipped men into a modern battle; and would not the blood of such men be upon the heads of those responsible for the sacrifice? WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY J. E. K. Aggre, of Africa. To the Editor of The Age: Mr. Bryan talks as though he believed that pinning on an S. P. C. A. badge would be a better protection in walking through the jungles than an Express rifle; however, we doubt that he would personally carry his theories through to that logical point. Trampling, upon impossibilities is no achievement that only courageous and determined men can accomplish, and there are many who names are numbered with the heroes and heroes who have done and still are doing marvelous tasks. Phillip Wheatley, Benjamin Hanneker, Frederick Douglass, Henry Highland Garnet, Joseph C. Price, Alexander A. Crummell, and to whom the word "impossible" had, a different meaning than it did or does to those of the dominant race, have been the dogs that will power, indomitable courage and persistence in efforts to excel. The word, "was a challenge to their race, prided to to the nenna, to the nenna, with the handlace of color, and plucked the laurals of victory from their antagonists and compelled them to acknowledge and acknowledge them as Men. The heights which they reached must be measured by, the depths from which they ascended. "This is the goal to measure the greatness by the Nero." AN ENLIGHTENED SOUTHERN ATTITUDE. Bolton Smith, in a recent issue of the "Southern Workman," writes sympathetically on the Negro problem. He states his belief that, regardless of any interference on the part of the North, the South would have eventually freed the slaves. He may be right in his belief; however, we know of nothing to indicate that such a result would have come about in the cotton-raising-states. Perhaps, in some of the border states, where slave labor was not so profitable, economic conditions, coupled with an awakening public conscience might have brought about the gradual abolition of slavery, but we do not believe that this result would have been accomplished in the heart of the South except by pressure exerted from without. Mr. Smith goes on to say: "I hope to see the day when our teachers will prepare our children for the right attitude, toward the Negro by telling them all about his African home, the conditions which have delayed his development, there, the opportunity which his presence in our midst gives us to raise him, the obligation of every person of the higher race to hear with him and to help him. I believe that such talks will have real effect on the lives, these basic beliefs with the poor problem of right and wrong of God and the soul. Let their maxim be: 'Noblesse oblige.' Is not this the way to fit our children for the maintenance of white ascendency?' Phillis Wheatley was brought to America from Africa at the age of 5 years and sold into the market, and soon discovered the bent of her youthful mind and encamped her ambition to improve it by permitting her to sit at a monastery, read and write books, and acquired a general knowledge of the claustres and Latin before she was twenty. She wrote acceptable poetry and prose, and was the woman of African birth, America's first great poetess. She simply tranmed into the Impulsive and made it Possible. She was also on two continents, ran through 47 editions, there were 47 different editions of them published in as many books as she could on her work who considered her worthy of preservation because of their merit. This is indeed an enlightened Southern attitude. It is a step far in advance of what most Southern men—and we presume Mr. Smith is a Southern man—would dare to take; and yet, it does not go as far as it should. It is not enough that such teachers as Mr. Smith refers to should tell the Negro about the conditions which for centuries delayed his development in his African home; they should also confess to and seek to rectify the conditions which are now holding him back in America. Neither does the maxim "Noblesse oblige" taken in its ordinary sense, fit well in a democracy, such as the United States pretends to be. If the white people of the South are to go about the work of rightly solving and adjusting the Negro problem, they must be motivated by the spirit of belonging the Negro to reach the full stature made an 'Almanack', one of the first series published in America. Jefferson, who was then Secretary of State, was the author of Monastere Condorcet, of the Academy of Sciences, at Paris, with a letter highly commendatory of the intellectual capabilities of the Negro. Banneker soon led the edge of civil, engineering, assisted Major L'Enfant through the courtesy of John H. B. Latrobe to lay out the streets of Washington, D. C. He too added the impossible made it Possible. I have, cited those instances to call attention to another in which a son of Africa- resident in the Old North State, has adopted the same methods employed by those I have mentions to him, in the case of his race and he has succeeded so admirably in demonstrating the truth of the axiom. neither black nor white." That I feel a few words about him in my life. He was a great friend of place. I allude to: Prof. J, E. K Aggrey, of Livingstone College, a man, I had known by reputation for a dozen years ago in New York City where he was taking a special course at Columbia University. I found Prof. Aggrey, a man conspicuous in my life, and more years after, and when I learned that he had made a creditable record in his classes I was glad. I felt that he had made him how it happened, and his innate modesty would not permit him to speak of himself and he referred me to his teachers. I wrote Prof. Gliddins, his teacher in Sociology and the History of Civilization, and also author of a half book asking him to tell me what kind of a record this young man had made in Columbia. This was his answer: ability and ideas. His record at Columbia is excellent. He should do important work for his race. I shall be much disappointed if he does not." In an earlier letter to Mr. Aggrey which I was permitted to see and copy, he wrote that he would spend a month to resume his duties at Livingstone College, he wrote: "I have been much pleased with your work in the Seminary in Sociology during my time there. I still more pleased with your whole attitude and relation to the problems that so deeply concern the colored people, you are in position to do that. I am still more pleased with these difficult issues. The men who retard everything are those who are in too great haste, ignoring the tremendous work of the prejudices, traditions and habits, and those who are too self-seeking, caring more for their own personal advancement than for the advice of the teachers. These letters speak volumes, they are vocal with truths which will sooner or later be more apparent to the among us who they now seem to be." Equality is not gained by gift, but by struggle. Prof Agresty's work is in the hands of professors. Gilddings, Sherinton and Blisch, to designate him at different periods during the school year, to answer the questions of the classes were studying. Thus on July 29, or rather I should say a week before the class, the office of Mr. Arthur A. Schomburg, secretary of our Negro Society for Historical Research, with his note-book, to record the memory about African customs, religion; civilization, law, marriage, etc.; for a paper, Liberian, a brief sociological study; for a course in Sociology—Prof. Gilddings. On another occasion he was called on for a thesis: Course in Social Psychology, in the Kinnship, religious legislative and educational Institutions—Prof. Sheraton University Psychology an advanced course for supervisors, principals and physclasers, intensive study in the Diagnosis and treatment exceptional children and Prof. Bligh On the 29th of July he was assigned by Prof. Gildiness to speak to the class in Educational Psychology on the subject of physical education, practiced by civilized Africans. In this, as in all his previous addresses before his classes, he discovered to his professors and his class-mates that, in hand, which commanded his admiration and attention. He alluded to the Bundo and Poro Societies on the West Coast for teaching boys and girls in the school, through knowledge of the care of their bodies and health. How girls are carefully trained in the duties of wifehood and motherhood, and mothers taught how to give birth, making a healthy body and a clear birth. He told his hearers that the "benighted African" and no homes for the "cobble-minded" because there are no schools, no military for all of the population. No reformatories for victims of alcoholism because there are no whiskey distillers in Africa and no African in the world, that there are parts of Italy Europeans; that there are no Asylums for the insane, as there are fewer insane in Africa than in any other country; that divorce courts because there is no divorce. Immorality is punished with a strong hand, blood marriages are, prosecution bodies unless obtained in war, are recorded with asplosion. The Poro Society is, for men and women, the initiation of a boy or girl in the mysteries of these societies requires from we to six months and when they are grown, more familiar with the science of Eugenics than a great many educated Europeans, what at best have only a superficial knowledge, whom it known it for a thousand years or more and no European or American man or woman, has ever been permitted to marry, have sex, be married or invest in marriage.

ABSTRACT - It has been claimed that an annual registration for general election when revoked for a special election must be made by the electorate for special election. The amendment clears up ambiguity on this subject and confirms the practice under statutes in force for registration of voters. The amendment fifteen days between registration and election is to afford added time for checking and verifying the list. The amendment also provides a wide that a voter residing in a city or large village where personal registration prevails may register specially with designated members of the regular days of registration if his vocation or occupation will take him out of the county on those days. The amendment also provides that employees at Washington, railroad men who operate trains, and commercial travellers, although the amendment is not confined in effect to those classes of employees, shall also be used in determining whether a city or village has over five thousand population. Employees in cities by the citizens, except for such town officers as may be law be directed to the otherwise chosen all to be baltic or by such other math.

Existing laws on this subject shall continue until this section shall not apply to town meetings[,] or to vil age elections. ARTICLE III Section 1. The legislative power of this state shall be vested in the senate and Section 2. The senate shall consist of fifty members except as hereinafter provided. The senate shall consist of a thousand eight hundred and ninety-six shall hold their offices for three years THE SIXTH MEASUREMENT. THE SIXTH MEASUREMENT is the two-year. The assembly shall determine the number of senate districts who shall be chosen for one year. ABSTRACT. The amendment alone eliminates the absolute matter included with Section 2. The state shall be divided into city districts to be called senate districts, each of [whom] which shall choose one senator. The districts shall be numbered for each district. [District number one shall consist]—and then follows the description of the senate districts as created by the constitution of the state. The senate districts and ending with district number fifty. Such division of the state into senate districts is not restated here. In full, because of the constitution of the legislature chapter III of the laws of 1908, creating the present senate districts, which are not affected by this proposed constitution. The alteration of ex- The comite districts shall remote as at private constituted until altered as heretofore. ABSTRACT.—The amendment simply eliminates the absolute division of the state into comite districts, explained by the note with the above headings, and continues the above before and fixed by the legislature in 138, until the alteration to be made by the legislature in Section 4. [An enumeration of the inhabitants of the state shall be taken under the direction of the secretary of state during the months of May and June in the same months, and in the same months every tenth year thereafter; and the said districts shall be so altered by the legislature at the first after the return of every enumeration.] Each such district shall be so altered by the legislature at the first regular session after the return of and based upon the state enumeration taken in the year one thousand and sixty-nine until altered so hereafter provided. At the regular session of the legislature in the year after the tabulation of each federal clause the county district shall be altered by the legislature. At the regular session of the legislature until the time herein appointed for another alteration. Provided, however, that if a federal clause shall not be available for any such alteration the same shall be based upon any enumeration of the county district. At the regular session the legislature shall provide for such an enumeration for that purpose. In making such alterations the legislature shall so provide that each county district shall contain as many inhabitants, including an number of inhabitants, compact form as practicable [and shall remain unaltered until the return of another enumeration] and shall, at all times, consist of contiguous territory, and no county district except to make two, or more, senate districts wholly in such county. ABSTRACT - The amendment substitutes the federal census for the state enumeration on the basis for fixing the boundaries of the state, instead of the enumeration thereof, unless the tabulation of the federal census does not furnish the necessary information. The state enumeration, on the basis of the enumeration of every ten years, is therefore eliminated, except when, as above stated, the tabulation of the federal census shall not afford the necessary, in the usual tabulation of the federal census, is to have it show the population of city blocks excluding aliens. It is therefore that the enumeration is eliminated. Under the amendment; the first alteration of senate districts is to be made by the legislature in 1855. The succeeding alterations are to be made in the year following the tabulation of each federal census, beginning with the first enumeration, to the first day of January, 1856, is to preserve the existing refrence by which the counties of New York, Kings and Bronx may not be combined one-half of the counties.

THERE is joy in the hearts of those interested in colored theatricals, for it looks very, much as if the colored musical show is once more on the ascendancy and that we are soon to see better and brighter times. For several years past we have been wishing, watching and waiting for some colored production to come along that would command the serious and favorable attention of the managers and public. At last this long looked-for "Moses of the footlights" has appeared, and to Miller & Lyles, in their musical production, "Darkydom," belongs this distinction. Although a brand new, show, Miller & Lyles, together with a large and talented aggregation of entertainers, are playing to crowded houses at the Lafayette Theatre this week and the general opinion prevails that "Darkydom" is the biggest and best colored attraction since Williams & Walker's "Bandanna Land." This estimate of the show is not confined solely to the average theatre-goer, for such well known Broadway producers as John Cort, Charles H. Dillingham and F.-Ray Comstock of the Shuberts, producer of "Bandanna Land" and "Mr. Lode of Koal," who were present at Monday evening's performance, share in this expression of belief, as did William Grossman, America's foremost theatrical lawyer; Irving Berlin, who is known far and wide for his popular musical compositions; Jos. W. Stern, the publisher, and Mose Gumble, manager of the Remick Publishing Co. Speaking of, Monday, evening one was reminded, of a Broadway opening. Never in the history of the colored show business, have so many large and beautiful floral pieces been presented to the artists, by admirers. Even Lester A. Walton, the producer, was the recipient of several bouquets. The presence of members of the 400 helped to make the occasion more auspicious. Mr. and Mrs. Robert P. Breeze belongs to a box-party, which included names which may be seen on the social register. Outside of the Lafayette Theatre was a long line of automobiles that, reminded one of similar scenes enacted nightly in "Darkkydom" is defined on the pro- program as a medley of mirth and melody in two acts and four scenes, and it is certain that the producers could not get into trouble for misrepresentation. Laughing becomes a habit with even the most grouchy early in the first act, and when the curtain descends on the finale in the second act the people are still laughing at the funny anties of Miller & Lyles, the two funniest blackface comedians in "capity" to-day. As to melody, both in quality and quantity it is very much in evidence, and there is little likelihood of the claim made by the management that the show has the "greatest singing chorus-in America," being disputed. It has been many a day since a musical show presented such an evenly balanced chorus. Will Marion Cook and James Reese Europe were the principal melody-makers, while Henry S. Creamer wrote the lyrics. There is not much to let to "Dark dom," only a thread connecting comedy situations and musical numbers." The line was written by Henry Troy, while the staging was done by Jesse A. Shipp and Will A. Cooke, and Messrs. Shipp, Cooke and Troy may take as much special pride in their accomplishments, as Messrs. Europe, Cook and Creamer, for all of them have enhanced their reputations since the pronounced success of "Darkydom." For five years or more Miller & Lyles have been one of the biggest laughing hits on the United time, and as stars of their own company they are even a bigger hit than on the two-a-day. Both are intelligent, educated, and students who pay close attention to the of laughmaking. There is seldom a dull moment while Miller & Lyles are on the stage, and some of their situations, the coal hole scene in the first act, for instance, is excruciatingly funny. As for their burlesque boxing match, this is one of the funniest pieces of comedy done before the footlights. Miller & Lyles have an important mission to perform for the stage and for their race. To them has fallen the lot to pick up where Williams & Walker left off, thereby making the colored musical show a commodity greatly to be desired instead of a drug on the market, and it is believed that they will take advantage of this golden opportunity and make good. Miller & Lyles are not the only comedians in the cast, for there is Allie Gillam, who is funny at all times, and who has no superior on the stage as a "silent comedian." He does not appear to extend himself very much while working, yet whatever he says or does usually brings a big laugh. Will A. Cooke proves an acceptable foil for Allie Gillam and the two work well together. Somewhere in the show there should be a scene between Miller, Lyles and Gillam. It surely would be a scream. Henry Troy's standing as a lyric tenor has always been unique and after several season's retirement he makes his appearance in better voice than for years. But in "Darkydom" not only does he-sing impressively but also favorably surprises his many admirers by effectively rendering lines, and he has quite a bit of talking to do. "You're So Loving" and "Life" are the two numbers sung by Troy, and he always finds it necessary to respond to encores. Fannie Wise, in the role of Miss Ethel Green, is given an opportunity to show that she is versatile and can sing and talk charmingly. This talented young woman has never appeared to better advantage, and "she lives up to what is expected of her. Her best song is "Cairo" in the second act, and she looks, sings and acts the part. When you speak of artistic singers it is impossible to overlook Abbie Mitchell, who is an artist through and through. No matter what Miss Mitchell sings it is bound to get over the footlights. Possessing both a voice and personality Abbie Mitchell is a valuable asset to any show. In the first act she gets plenty of applause on her smoke song, and "Lady's Lips" in the second act goes very big. Yes, Abbie is getting somewhat thinner, and is really looking well. One of the whirlwind hits of the slow is Ida Forsyne; that little disciple of ginger, who recently returned from Europe, where she was a big hit in many of the leading productions in Paris and London. In "Sceas-y-da-Hoocht" Miss Forsyne dances with such enchanty that the audience insists for more until she is completely exhausted. Some little dancer is Miss Forsyne. In the cast are several who are making their debut as character actors, among them being Cliff Green, as *Mose Montgomery*, Hilda Oftley as an insurance agent, and DeKoven Thompson as Jefferson Bibb, a nut, and they disport themselves like oldtimers and their creditable work is an argument for giving the younger folk a chance. Although not on the program Maggie Davis is accorded a big reception when she makes her appearance as a dancer in the "Cairo" song, and she receives a big hand after her dancing. Frank Walker makes a good Chinaman as *Ah Sing* and Arthur Ray can, always be depended upon to do well with the bits given him. Nettie Anderson and Lillian Goode, two promising youngsters, pleasingly render vocal numbers, Miss Anderson singing "Magnolia Time," and Miss Goode singing "Dreaming Town" written by Clarence Williams. Helen Baxter has one of the big hits of the show—Beg a Tat” and is assisted by girls with drums. This act should be made the finale of the second act and could be worked up and so developed that a half dozen curtains could be taken. Miller & Lyles in “Darkydom” is destined to be a big winner. The fact that it has been already booked over the John Cort 2$^2$ houses to the coast, and negotiations are pending to take the production to Broadway are proof conclusive of the bright prospects ahead, but there is much to be done to the vehicle, before it will be running smoothly. In the first place much talk could be eliminated, especially between Gillam & Cooke. The appearance of the stars should be made sooner, and the first act ought to be shortened at least fifteen minutes. With only Allie Gillam as the tramp and Will A. Cooke in some other role, there would be removed the similarity to characters of Miller & Lyles. A love theme should run through the piece, no matter how lightly touched, and at least one more good song could be added. "Darkydom" suggests great possibilities. It is a Broadway production, and with a few minor changes can be made a great big hit—a knockout. The show has made such a hit that arrangements have been made to keep it at the Lafayette Theatre for one week longer. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Stringbeans, Sweetie, May and Johnn.

WHITE) For the first time in the history of the Metropolitan Opera Co., the most distinguished musical organization in America, the forthcoming season of grand opera will be marked by the singing of an opera, the English version of which has been made by a Negro. Preliminary, announcements characterize the production as a romantic Spanish opera, the English version of "Goyescas," that is, scenes from the paintings of Goya, a Spanish painter of the last century. The music is by Enrique Granados, the Spanish libretto by Fernando Periquet, and the English translation by James Welden Johnson, contributing editor of THE NEW YORK ANZ. Mr. Johnson acquired an intimate and practical knowledge of the Spanish language through seven years' experience in the diplomatic service of the United States, where were spent with our South American neighbors, Venezuela and Nicaragua. The publishers of the opera, G. Schirmer. (Inc.) were attracted by Mr. Johnson's work in providing the lyrics for a group of songs, written by H. T. Burleigh and published by G. Ricordi & Co. Learning that he was also familiar with the Spanish language, one or two numbers of the opera were submitted to him for translation. The result so pleased Schirmer that a contract was immediately entered into for the translation of the completed work was submitted to the publishers, it was turned over to their official critic, Dr. Baker, who is not only a linguistic expert, but also a musician of ability. Dr. Baker's verdict was, that the translation ranked far above the ordinary and was real poetry. The work will be sung for the first time by the Metropolitan Opera Co., with Mlle. Lucrezia Bori, the Spanish prima donna, in the leading role, that will be sung by the soprano Fernando, a young officer, which part will probably be sung by Carlo. 'While this is this first time' that a Negro's work will receive recognition on the Metropolitan Opera house stage, it is not the first time that Mr. Johnson's work will have been presented on Broadway. In 1904 he entered into a contract, with the Klaw & Erlanger interests to write exclusively for their productions. Under this contract he was a co-author of the elaborate musical comedies, "Humpty-Dumpty", produced at the New-Amsterdam Theatre, 'In Newport', at the Liberty Theatre, and the extravaganza, 'Beauty and the Beast' with his brother, J. Rosamond Johnson, he has been responsible for the lyrics of a number of musical plays and songs, and many distinguished musicians have used his poems as a vehicle for their musical expression. One of the most notable groups of this latter class is the "Passionate," four songs for tenor, the music by Harry T. Burleigh, the formost American Aerogroup composer, the most famous of them, Her-Eyes Twin Pools," Our Lips Are Wine," "Your Eyes So Deep," and "The Glory of, the Day Was in Her Face," published by G. Ricordi & Co. They were, "respectively, written for, dedicated to, and performed as exponents in the concert world; John McCormack; Evan Williams, Ben Davies and George Hamlin." TRUE AMERICAN MUSIC The New Republic is one of the most important journals of opinion published in this country. In the issue of October 16 appears an article on ragtime music, written by Hiram K. Moderwell. I am obliged to acknowledge that I do not know who Mr. Moderwell is, but the fact that his opinion is sought for and given publicity by The New-Republic is to me sufficient evidence that he is qualified to treat the subject. The article is of such importance and contains so much that is of interest, that I am restraining my inclination to comment at length on it, and instead am giving it entire. The article is as fol- BAGTIME. It has been nearly twenty years, and American rattletage is still officially beyond the pale, but the music of the American people, as the one type of American popular music that has persisted and undergone constant change, is the clammy hand of fellowship from composers and critics. There is very little evidence that these great composers were ever part of the ten years. Then they asserted that it was "fortunately on the wane"; now they sigh that it will be always with us. That is the key. I can't feel satisfied, with this. I can't help feeling that a person who doesn't "open" nine out of ten musicians, if caught unawares, will like this music until they remember that they shouldn't. Rather than rattle is "all very, well in its place?" Rather that these musicians don't consider that: place *theta* is among some of 10,000,000 or more. Americans. Conservative estimates show that: there are at least 50,000,000 copies of *theta* early, and equally partion of it is in ragtime. "And these musicians prefer to regard themselves as being apart from poetry very seriously. They are musician to himself. I don't mean that wherever 10,000,000 Americans are present, sentimental halftones are the mere dregs of Schubert and Franz Alba. But rattle music is a type of music. It has persisted, grown, evolved in many directions, without official recognition or an audience of millions of people perished in liking something that has not been recognized by the school. It is toward folk-music at the beginning of the nineteenth century was very similar, in the court of Catherine the Great than a rattle song in our music studies to-day. Yet Russian music is more vigorous art-music of the past century, and no musician speaks of it to any exegete in our country. It is often enough toward the shoddy and outworn. But when the pomp-lace creates its own, let the artists listen. I haven't notion whether rattle is going to form the basis of an art-music of the past. I am sure that many a native composer could save his soul if he wiped off his ears to this folk-music of the past." But the schools have their reply, "Ragtime is not new," they say, by Haydn and Mozart. Beethoven and Brahms, and is good, like any other musical material, when it is not merely syriac. It is not merely syriac. It is h certain sort of syriacism—namely, a persistent syriacism another. But of course this definition is not enough. Ragtime has its flavor that no definition can provide. Certainly not, it replies the indignant renaissance composer. A hazy symphony to the American ragtime. "Certainly not," replies the indignant renaissance composer. But if this is so, then ragtime is new. You can't tell an American com- poets's *situation*, metaphor, metaphor, metaphor, the world over. (Permit me to gossip over the few, notable exceptions.) You can, distinguish the popular music of any nation and any age. In the first instance, the rhythm of ragtime is the first instrument I remember, heating a Negro quartet singing "Waiting for the Robert E. Lee," in a song my muscles twitching to the rhythm, I wanted to paraphrase Shakespeare—"The man who hath no ragtime in his soul, Who is not moved by syncopted sounds," and so on. If any musician does not feel in his heart the rhythmic complexities of "The Man Who Hath No Ragtime in His Soul," in his heart the rhythmic complexities of Brahms. This ragtime appeals to the primitive which the rhythm of the arms, and shoulders conflicts with the rhythm of the feet, in which the rhythm of the arms, and shoulders controlled in the weaving of the whole. And if musicians "refuse to recognize" it as they criticize not ragtime, but themselves. We must admit that current ragtime is,deficient on the melodic side. Some of the tunes we have, little beyond their rhythmic energy and ingenuity to distinguish them. If we had a hard time distinguishing them, we would not be so permeated with vulgarity. The words, also, too often ventilate—without its chief virtue, the generous warmth of everydayness. And this latter word, the word of the songs, the words themselves, as in the flavor of the songs, the unspired but tireless high spirits but ragtime words have at least one artist quality of the highest rank. They fit the music who expect to sing them, a people who have no oratorio or grand opera tradition behind them, a people who have wadded music and verse which Wagner had to struggle for against his whole generation./ I should say, "it is to be found in the jerky quality of the English—or shall we say American—language, which found in the Negro's first rushes thus: "An' he gave them commisbun to fly. The tune, as always in Negro songs, follows the pattern of the gospel song, just imagine what Messes, the singer, and Sandyke Frank Judkins, New York City's high school cross-country, champion, will compete in the New York State Cross-country championship today held at Ford University, Saturday, October 20th.

With the setting in of cold, weather and the advent of football and basketball in the world of sport, the tennis players are about to hang up their ten- nants season in the history of New York.

Taylor Tennis Courts, 44 Schenectady avenue, Brooklyn, and the courts of the beth, abeth, Orange, Westfield, Plainfield and other, nearby towns.

(Continued from page 10) serrates, at length, the number of members apportioned by the constitution of New York. Such apportionment is not resisted here because it has already been supervised by the apportionment by legislative enactment under chapter 122 of the laws of New York which is still in force and not bound by this revised constitution. Re-apportionment is left to the legislature of New York. Palmer, to pay his railroad fare gets a president upon insignia to save the expense. If a member lives for 100 years, the present salary of $1,800 is fixed forty years ago. The inadequacy of this sum for meeting the increased cost of living tends to exclude from the legislature many competent and worthy citizens, whose services are sought to be secured by the amendment. Section 10.2.1 St. James Presbyterian Church. The new pastor of St. James, the Rev. Frank M. Hyder, has taken charge, and next morning will discuss the subject. "Is the life Spiritual before he is converted or after the new birth?" he evening service a special sermon will be preached to the B. K. Bruce Lodge.

The Colored Troop No. 19, Boy Scout of America have been reorganized and have formed a life and drum corp. Floyd T. Johnson, scout and drill master. William Whitfield, assistant scout master. Assembly districts as at present constituted shall remain unaltered until altered as herein printed. An apportionment by the legislature,[1] the body,[2] shall be subject to review by the supreme court,[3] at the suit of any citizen under such reasonable regulations as the legislature may prescribe, and any court before which a cause may be pending involving an apportionment,[4], shall be adjudicated by the courts and proceedings, and if [said] such court be not in session it shall convene promptly for the disposition of the same. ABSTRACT - The changes effected by this amendment are to make the apportionment of the elected conditions under which senators are to be altered after each federal election, under the provisions of section 4. The existing apportionment and the assembly districts as now constituted are corrected until the next apportionment, and the assembly districts, which are to be made in 1916 in conformity with the home rule principle, as applied to counties, the amendment also provides that in any city containing an entire county, or more than county (imming New York city), and in any county containing an entire county, or more than county (imming New York city), and be elected from any such county to the board of aldermen shall fix the boundaries of assembly districts within the county. All present the members of such district from the county of Richmond for the election of the assembly districts in Queens county. Sect. 15.1.6 The elections of senators and members of assembly, pursuant to the provisions of this constitution, shall be held on the Tuesday succeeding the first Monday of November, unless otherwise directed by the legislature. If no senator is eligible appointment within this state or the senate of the United States, from the governor the governor and senator from the legislature, or from any city government, during the time for which shall have been elected, and all may appoint a senator to vote for any such member for any such office or appointment shall be void. 1 Absent. The actual working of the section after eliminated has been to exclude from the public service many persons with exceptional qualifications for office. The section has never blinded the public service to offices not filled by the governor, governor and senate and legislature, nor any office whatever after their registration terms have expired. The effect of the elimination of the section is to eliminate and assembly equal eligibility with other citizens for any public office. Senior Art. 10.10.6) 7 The political year and legislative term shall begin on the first day of January, and the legislatures shall be year assemble on the first day of January. Senior Art. 10.10.6) 8 Each member of the legislature will service an annual service of [one] too thousand five hundred dollars. The members of [either] each member shall also receive [the sum of one] every ten miles they shall travel, the railroad fare actually paid in going and returning from their place of service in each session] on the train, but not offender than one hundred dollars.

The railroad fare shall be repaid only to the servant number of the member entitled terrific offer credit by the compilator. Seniors when the senate alone is convened in extrajudicial session, or when serving in extrajudicial session, or when serving in the court for the trial of and such members of the exceeding nine in number, appointed managers of an imprisoned dollar a day. the amendment increases to im the salaries of senators and members of national federal farther between their bany each week once a week sion in place of ten cents a sation a session every week there is an equally equal difference in distance from residences of the members. fathers to pay the railroad fare puts a premium upon staying home to save the family. If a member lives far from Albany, the family's 1,850 was fixed forty years ago. The insured this sum for meeting the increased cost of living tends to exclude from the legalities of competent and worthy citizens, whose service sought to be secured by the amendment. ABSTRACT—The amendment adds the speaker of the assembly to the list of constitutional officers, provides for a tempestuous under which defines the circumstances under which the senate becomes or acts as lieutenant-governor. Events in the year 1913 disclosed the necessity of greater certainty in regard to the status of the tempestuous under which the senate during a vacancy in the office of lieutenant-governor or his inability to act. Section 19. The legislature of its own motion, in the manner to be provided by joint rule which shall continue in force until abrogated or amended by both the senate and the assembly, may concense to take action in the form of a judge of the court of appeals or of the supreme court of the assembly of its own motion, in the manner to be provided by rule which shall continue in force until abrogated or amended by the assembly, may concense for the purposes of impeachment. At a meeting under this section no subject shall be acted upon except that for which the meeting is herein authorized to be held. ABSTRACT - The legislature now has the power to remove judges of the court of appeals and justices of the supreme court. The assembly now has the power to institute impeachment proceedings. No specific grant of power is given at present either to the legislature as a whole or the assembly as a separate body, to convene specially for such purpose during a positive recess or otherwise. The foregoing amendment is to rectify that situation. Section [R] II [No person shall be eligible to the legislature, who at the time of his election is, or within one hundred days previous thereto has been, a member of congress, a civil or military officer under the United States, or an officer under any city government. And] [If] II any person shall, after his election as a member of Congress, be appointed to any office, civil or military, under the government of the United States, or under any city government, his acceptance thereof shall vacate his seat. ABSTRACT - The elimination of the first sentence confers on federal and city employees the right, enjoyed by other citizens, to become members of the legislature. The second sentence retained the right, enjoyed by other citizens, to become a member of the legislature may not hold such office after accepting an office under the federal government or a city. Section [11.] 12 Each house shall keep a journal of its proceedings[,] and a record of its debates and promptly publish the same in the journal. Each house shall require secrecy. The doors of each house shall be kept open except when the public welfare shall require secrecy. Neither house shall, without the consent of the other, adjourn for more than two days. ABSTRACT - At present each house of the legislature keeps a journal, and after the legislature has published, neither house keeps or publishes a record of its debates. The purpose of the amendment is to give immediate and full publicity to all proceedings of the legislature, to make the reasons for action by the legislature matters of public record, to restore the art of debate to the legislature and to make it more revenue to preferment for able young men. Section [12.] 12 For any speech or debate in either house of the House, the members shall not be mediately a treaty, listing of a bill, no amendment thereof, of shall be allowed, and] the question upon its final passage shall be taken (immediate threaten- tion and years and nays entered on the journal. ABSTRACT - The above section is changed so as to forbid the legislature hereafter to pass any bill until the lapse of three days after the last amendment and a reprint of the bill, thus removing an exception by which the governor so recommends. This change insures at least three days' scrutiny, by the legislature and the public, of every bill in final printed form before it is passed without any exception. The latter part of the section is changed so as to remove the prohibition against amendment. This prohibition is the question of its final passage. The prohibition has never been effective, because a motion to recommit, amend and report forthwith as amended is manifestly proper notwithstanding the present language. The proposed change restores in substance the provision of the constitution of the last sixty-nine years and amimities and expedites procedure. Section [16] *n* No private or local bill, which may be passed by the legislature. shall embrace more than one subject, and it shall be expressed in the title Section [17] I No act shall be passed which shall provide that any existing law or any part thereof, shall be or deemed a part, shall such act which shall provide that any existing law, or part thereof, shall be applicable, except in inserting it in such act. Section [18] D The legislature shall not pass a private or local bill in any of the following cases: the names of persons[.]; Laying out, opening, altering, working is discontinuing roads, highways or al-[Continued on page 9] St. James Presbyterian Church.
