The New York Age VOL. XXVIX No. 11 THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1915 PRICE, FIVE CENTS SOUTH TURNS TO THE NEGRO COOK Big Revival in Dixieland of The Old-Fashioned Southern Cooking French Chef, German Baker, etc. Are Unable To Compete With Aunt Dinah's Fried Chicken, Hot Corn Bread and Sweet Potatoes. Cooking Schools Being Conducted To Provide Efficient Colored Help—Big Hotels Advertise That Cooking Is Dene By Negroes. Special to THE NEW YORK ACA. Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 8.—The South is again turning to the Negro cook, and old-fashioned dishes such as only "Aunt Dinah" can serve, are very much in demand these days, according to a correspondent of the Philadelphia Public Ledger, who writes from Atlanta, Ga., giving the following account of the latest revival in Dixieland: "The South is planning a revival of the old-fashioned Southern cooking, and with it the old time Negro cook—the best in the world, any colonel will tell you—is coming back into her own. The French chef has been tried in the South, together with the French waiter, but, except in a few rare instances, they have failed to satisfy the peculiar demands of the Southern epicure, or even of the tourist, who, coming South, expects dishes peculiarly Southern, and the kind of dining room service that the trained Negro waiter can give. Great Demand for Negro Books. "The demand for capable Negro cooks is greater than the supply. Co-ordination of this fact has been taken officially by Rock Hill, S. C., where a cooking school for colored women is being conducted, the expenses being borne jointly by the people, through the public schools, and one of the local public utility corporations. The only objection ever raised to the Southern Negro cook is that she is wasteful, and this, it is hoped will be overcome through the cooking school. In Georgia it is planned that the Georgia Federation of Women's Clubs lend its aid to the revival. "The French chef, the German baker and the skilful Jap have all had their chance in the South. With the opening of each new and pretentious hotel there comes down to Dixie one or the other or all, and after a few months they, with the retinue of French walters that came with them, wend their sorrowful way back to the East or West. They cannot compete with Aunt Dinah's fried chicken or her chicken pie. Their rolls of varred shapes do not take the place of her corn bread and muffins; their sweet potatoes aren't as sweet as Aunt Dinah's. "One large Southern tourist hotel is advertising now that it employs no foreign help in the kitchen, that the cooking is all done by Negro women. Still another has as a feature of its service a little kitchen in plain view of the dining room, where Aunt Dinah is preparing fried chicken "The South may be wholly reconstructed in many ways, but the Negro woman cook is far from losing her place or her prestige" SECRETARY TALBERT LEAVES WILBERFORCE Social to The New York Age. XENIA, O. Dec 7. The Rev Henry Talbert, secretary of Wilberforce University, has resigned. He has been connected with the university for twenty-three years, and has been secretary for eighteen. In point of seniority he ranked next to the president, Prof W. S. Scarborough. Secretary Talbert intended taking this action last June, but was persuaded by friends to continue in office. His action now comes as a surprise to the executive board as it was thought he would remain at least through the school year. He succeeded the Rev James Maxwell, who later resigned as treasurer. Mr Talbert has not made public his future plans, but it is thought that he will enjoy a vacation for the present. He has an extensive acquaintance with the monied men of the country, and it was through his influence that the Carnegie library and equipment was secured. The question of his successor is being debated, and several names are mentioned, but nothing definite is known as to what action the executive board will take. WHITE MAN SENTENCED FOR RAPE ON NEGRO GIRL Special to The New York Age. Philadelphia, Pa. Dec 8—Two years and six months was the sentence imposed on Daniel McDouglad, white, 42nd and Callowhill streets, by Judge David McDougald's crime was a felonious assault on Edith Hayward, 14 years old, a little Negro girl living at 415 Holly street. The importance of People with a Common End in view, working together, which, he declared, built up Tuskegee Cooperation With Each Other is Necessary, Whatever the Joint Task, and this is gotten by Forgetting Personal Ambition and Selfishness, which stand in the way of Perfect Teamwork Special to The New York Acq. TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA, Dec 7 — One of the most influential factors in the work of the late Dr Booker I Washington among the students of Tuskegee Institute was the Sunday Evening Talks which he made to them through the course of each term Sunday evening. October 17, was the last time that Dr Washington talked to the students, and his subject was "Teamwork. Emphasizing the importance of teamwork, or people working together with a common end in view, he declared that Tuskegee Institute had been built up and sustained through the co-operation of a number of individuals who were willing to stand by it, sacrifice for it and who pinned their faith to it The address in full is as follows Every large and successful business, or other organization, has been built up by what is called "teamwork," not by one individual, but by a number of individuals. We should attempt to gay to-night. I want to emphasize the importance, in an institution like this, of people working together with a common end in view. That is teamwork. In the Panama canal, which has been completed at no large, an expanse can have an illustration in the business world of what can be accomplished by teamwork. Perhaps there has never been in history an illustration which represents so perfectly how it is possible for a number of individuals to accomplish, simply by an impossible task a few years ago. They learned how to do teamwork. Co-Operation Built Tuskegee Then, though I do not wish to speak too much in praise of this institution, Tuskegee Institute has been built up and we have been working to improve the operation of a number of individuals who have been willing to stand by it, who have been willing to sacrifice their all, who have been willing to work for them, who have worked in season and out of season in order that it might succeed. It is most important that this teamwork be maintained, and that our own, we are, in continuing to know. Let me illustrate by a few hasty and rude sketches what we can accomplish through teamwork. I very much wish that thera might exist throughout the industry, but I don't think impossible for any person not to be on time in keeping an engagement—on time at his class, on time at drill, on time at drill, on time at any stated appointment. At West Point, where I was a few years ago, I told them I was a thing the strong man for was to bring about teamwork in the matter of promptness, to let it be felt when an student enters that institution that it is most disgraceful for him to be tardy. You will find his spiritunning all through the course, and you will find it in other successful institutions. Teamwork In Sports. I wish we might have it exhibited more and more each year in our sports. If we are going to play some other institution in football or basketball, let us stand up and stand back of the Tuskegee team. Let us stand by it with our prayers, with our yells, and with everything else. If you learn to do teamwork here, you will take that spirit with you into your future experience. I hope too, we may have teamwork more and more each year in the matter of keeping down expenses. You can realize, when there is a large number of people gathered together, all consumpting, all sharing, all doing something, what it means, in the matter of keeping down expenses, for each individual to do his part. I hope throughout this institution we shall have the spirit that shall say from morning until night that we will be able for any expense that might be cut off. "I am going to put my thought and conscience into it and I am not going to be the cause of this, but I expense being here is this institution, it be to the amount of only a half cent." A General Spirit of Economy We want to have teamwork in the direction of keeping down waste. That is the same thing as useless expense and the benefit of it is defining to help the general spirit of economy in the dining-room, in the kitchen, in the classroom everywhere, it will tell immensely in running the information center. Above all, it will help you say the foundation for something useful for you all through life. Then we want to have the spirit that we want to have the manager of cleanliness. Let us have a clean institution. Let us have no department of the institution that we would be ashamed at any time, night or day, to have to clean up when the trustess, or other visitors are coming, but let us have the institution clean in every corner from morning until night, from the beginning of the season to the end of that season. This school estimated a few picks, go we not only want the school to be clean but we want to go further than that. We want to have the grounds beautiful we want to have the yards beautiful we want to have everything beautiful that the students touch here, for in beauty there is always great inspiration. We want to have such teamwork is shall make it impossible for a student to not do honest work. We want to make it so uncomfortable for every student who is not doing honest work that he will say, 'I had better get out of this school. This is not the place for me and when I say honest work then I am doing honest work in the classroom. Make it impossible for any student to learn here who goes to his classes day by day pretending to know something that he does not know, pretending to have studied a lesson that he has not studied. Make it impossible for a student to slip in compulsions pretending to have done that which he has not done Learn to Use the Mind. Happily the world has at last reached the point where it no longer feels that in order for a person to be a great scholar he must master a number of textbooks, that he must read a certain number of foreign languages, the word has come to the conclusion that the per- continued on page (two) THE LEGEND OF THE MISSING MEN CUBANS CELEBRATE MACEO ANNIVERSARY Tuesday night, December 7, was the ninth anniversary of the death of the great Cuban general, Antonio Maceo, and the occasion was commemorated in an elaborate manner by the Club Antonio Maceo of New York, which held exercises at St Mark's Hall. 59 West 138th street.

Philadelphia, Pa. Dec 8 —The invitation received from John Wanamaker by the citizens committee in charge of the Booker Washington memorial to hold the meeting in the auditorium of his business establishment, with entrance on a side street, was considered as an insult and not even considered. Dr A B Jackson, chairman of the meeting at which the invitation was received, declared that he would not be a party to the lowering of the dignity of the Washington memorial meeting by presenting the invitation to the gathering. It was decided to hold the meeting at Bethel A M E Church, on December 20, and the program was ordered printed. Additional affront was lent by the fact that only a few days ago twenty seven colored men were discharged from the Wanamaker store and their places filled with white girls NEGRO HAS SAILED SEAS FOR 61 YEARS Special to The New York Acq. Philadelphia, Pa Del 8 - George MeBean, a Negro 75 years old, is the oldest sailor out of this port, having sailed the seven seas for 61 years. Despite his great age, his services as an active scammer are more in demand than those of any other scammer who touches at this port. He is never out of work. He has been in several ship- wrecks and has had many narrow escape from death. He says, Ship me somewhere cast of Suez. Where the beat is like the worst. And a man can raise a thirst THURSDAY, DECEMBER 9, 1915. Major R. R. MOTON PATERSON MUSICIAN HERO IN MOVIE PANIC Special to The New York Acad. PETERSON, N. J, Dec 8—John Van Renssaller, the Negro musician, who has a local reputation as a pianist and composer, joined the ranks of heroes on Saturday night, November 20, when the film in the moving picture machine at the theatre where he is employed caught fire. Brilliant flashes from the celluloid, accompanied by a nauseating odor, caused patrons of the Regal Theatre, lower Main street, many of whom were women and children to become extremely excited. A piano was averted only by the coolness of the Negro musician, who quickly improved a catchy march movement which served to allay their fears. Van Renssaller has composed "The Chimes of St. Johns" and other songs 1 # 1945年10月24日 1945年10月24日 1 MAJOR GENERAL ANTONIO MACEO Died December 7, 1896 THOMAS MOTT OSBORN Warden of Sing Sing Prison Will Speak At PALACE CASINO, NEXT SUNDAY AT 3 O THE PUBLIC IS INVITED Free reserved seat tickets may be obtained at the Urban League 2303 Seventh Avenue Music by Europe's Orchestra, Freeman's Negro Choral S Mr. H.

Spaulding, vice-president and general manager of the N. C. Mutual and Provident Association, have returned from a two weeks' inspection tour of the company's work through the State of Georgia. They held co-operative meetings to which all the business and professional men were invited, including the representatives of the other colored insurance companies. These meetings were held for the purpose of having a better understanding and a more cooperative spirit between the Negro business men generally. In all places the business of the company was found in flourishing condition. INDUSTRIAL OPPORTUNITY OF AMERICAN NEGRO AFTER WAR Negro Students at Yale Consider the Question of the War's probable effect upon the Negro's Industrial Future PREPAREDNESS IS A NECESSITY Is a part of the American Industrial Organization and Negro must be prepared to meet the Opportunity and perform the tasks which will be open to him Industrially at close of the War What industrial opportunities will open up for the Negro with the closing of the present European war is a question that has been taken up for consideration by some of the Negro students at Yale William M Ashby of the class of 1916 has summarized some of the suggestions made by the students, considering the question from the standpoint of those who believe there will be a large influx of aliens after the war, as well as from the point of view of those who are of the opinion the necessities of the European countries will compel the would-be immigrants to remain at home Writing of what he calls "The Industrial Opportunity of the American Negro after the War," Mr. Ashby says: Various and many have been the opinions expressed as most probable effect the result of the present European conflict will have on American Sociologists, morallists, historians, theologians and philosophers, all basing their conclusions on upheavals of a similar nature, though not nearly so destructive as the present revolution, have contributed to the rise of the American consequence of the terrible strife on the United States. Some are saying we shall be overrun with low Europeans of different ideas from our own, different standards of living morals and religions, others say we shall have no immigration at all, or the commerce industry and destruction of our government will necessitate that all foreigners remain at home. But out of all these generalizations, no one except a few alarmists, has deemed the usurer how the American Negro will be effected by the outcome of the war. What of the Future? What is likely to be his position in the great father of alliances? Do or not have a great father of alliances? First, then, suppose there is not a great immigration it will mean an erase of industrial opportunity and progress of industries. Europe will be an need of supplies both for industrial reconstruction and food stuffs. We must supply them and that will mean that every man in America will work. Out of this we come the American industry, which in other words critically and politically regarded an important factor in the United States, we might well question but that he is a part of the American organization industrially no one, not even the fantastic, who would deport him to foreign parts, will deny Although the various labor unions and organizations now bar him because of color oftentimes, yet, if there is the industrial demand, he will not count here. The color will not count here will be only the man and the work that is wanted. Moreover, the European demand will be for one particular thing which the Negro labor of America can do. South which is worked almost solely by Negroes. The prices for his labor will jump up. Let him beware that he uses his increased wage wisely for it may not be overstating. If the other hand suppose there is a great immigration. How shall we make out? It has been a noticeable fact. I am sure, to all of those who have kept up with the American progress of the Americans for the last twelve months, what an impelling force the present European conflict has been for the welding together of the American people ever before has there been such a slogan of America for Americans. The many subtertues subtilies threats and even attempts to kill the port of Americans of foreign origin, and alms themselves positively gave the deal himself what nation Allens are Never Americanized All over this country there have been convolutions whose main purpose was to draw up resolutions and ordinances against all the abuses and all the alien. A year ago societies everywhere were giving conventions, notatios, banquets and the like for the poor foreigners. Is the same so much in evidence now? Only a few years ago a Senator Chamley [below words to the effect that aliens never become Americanized and that America does not pout by having them] WAS the only thing indicate in the trend of thought to this country "There is only one answer America for the Americans. What may they mean above the thought some people have guided the Negro is generally a port of the American who. Why not?" He has been best able to speak its language as simply as possible, worship its institutions as simply as possible, give him So that if there is a need for Negroes to be hired to buy up the industries because the Victorian white man knows him and trusts him. Mostly the industries are now employed where the never worked before. His usefulness in such places will become greater a proportion to his preparedness to do the work required now in the cotton or corn or to woolen fabrics. We have a monopoly on them, but in the industrial plants in the North, where skilled labor is a prerequisite. Negroes can do it. They will but it will not come out of sympathy. Let us have some provision. We bring school to go on but let us prepare ourselves now to cope with the skilled foreigner, should be come. This provision offers excellent opportunity to see just how fit our Negro industry is for training school. We make those who have attended them let them bend their attention to that end let the younger Negroes who are in the Northern cities attend the night high schools where courses in mechanics and the like are given free. To me seemed that the end of this conflict is going to give us our rich opportunity for industrial development but we shall have our chance only in so far as we are industrially prepared to meet with regard to the work required of a skilled laborer. COMPOSITOR WANTED Good Job Compositor Wanted at once. The Age, 247 W. 46th St. PRICE FIVE CENTS MOTON MAY BE TUSKEGEE HEAD Rumor Has It That He WILL Be Chosen Booker T. Washington's Successor. Hampton Commandant Said To Be Unanimous Choice of Board of Trustees and Is Also Favored By Tuskegee Faculty. DR. WASHINGTON'S CHOICE Maj. Moton Was Offered The Assistant Principalship of Tuskegee Two Years Ago—Is 48 Years Old and Married Speculation is rife as to who will succeed the late Dr. Booker T. Washington as principal of Tuskegee Institute, and although three men of marked ability—Maj. R. R. Moton, commandant at Hampton Institute, Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, and Warren Logan, treasurer of Tuskegee Institute—have been prominently spoken of, there is a well-defined rumor afloat that Maj. Moton is to be chosen as the new Tuskegee head at a meeting of the Board of Trustees, to be held at Tuskegee Institute this month It is said that Seth Low and his colleagues are unanimous in the opinion that Major Moton is the logical successor of Booker T. Washington, and that the Tuskegee faculty shares a similar view. The opinion prevailing that it was Dr Washington's wish that Major Moton be selected to succeed him as principal appears to strengthen the prediction of those who note the selection of Major Moton. Although not generally known, about two years ago Dr Washington offered Major Moton the assistant principalship of Tuskegee Institute a position which it would have been necessary to create. However, the commandant at Hampton Institute respectfully, declined the offer. The rumor that Major Moton will be chosen as Tuskegee's next principal is said to have placed him in a most trying position as some of the trustees of Hampton do not take kindly to the idea of losing such a valuable official; while others although not pleased over the thought of having Major Moton leave Hampton Institute believe that should he be chosen by the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute it would be his duty to accept the principalship and enter into a warrior work. No effort has been made by Major Moton to secure the position. Booker I Washington's probable successor is 48 years old and married. In the death of Dr Washington he became the best known Negro educator in the country. He was born in 1867 in Amelia County, Va., and entered Hampton Institute in 1885. He was graduated in 1890. In 1908 he became secretary of the Negro Rural I und Board: Anna T Jeanes Foundation. He is president of the Negro Organization Society of Virginia, trustee of several Negro institutions and is vice-chairman of the National League on Urban Conditions. For nearly twenty-five years he has been commandant at Hampton Institute. Major Moton was a life-long friend of Booker T Washington and accompanied the great Iuskegeean on many tours through the various states which were taken to observe the progress of the Negro as well as inspire him to better things. Major Moton is a writer on problems of race relations and a speaker of uncommon ability. Major Moton holds a most delicate position at Hampton. In the school community there are pure Negroes, mulatto Indians, Northern white people, Southern white people—all working for the same great cause—the elevation of the race. It is no easy matter to harden all these types, and yet so rare is his trait and so true is his judgment that each group gives him enthusiastic support. Booker T. Washington has said of him, "It has been through contact with men like Major Moton that I have received a kind of education no books would impart. It would be worth a trip to Hampton to know Major Moton. If more to Southern white people could be so caring so unrestentious so uncoming and yet so obient and that they would never say again that. Nor is race could not produce a better leader. PROVIDENCE PASTOR AT OUTS WITH CHURCH Special in the New York Age. Providence R. I. Dec R. It is reported that three sheriffs were on duty inside and one big policeman on the outside of Congdon Street Baptist Church last Sunday to prevent the Rev. S. W. Smith from carrying out his announced intention to be present and hold service. It is alleged that at a church meeting on October 28 the Rev Mr. Smith was deposed from the pastorate, and he was to be paid his arrears in salary on Tuesday night. November 30. Because of some legal technicality the money was not paid on that date, and it is said that because of this the former pastor became angered and declared his intention to occupy the pulpit on last Sunday unless an order from the courts stopped him. He may have heard of the presence of the sheriffs and policeman. For it is the belief of those who were present that he failed to put in an appearance URBAN LEAGUE HOLDS ITS ANNUAL MEETING The annual meeting of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes was held on Wednesday afternoon, December 1, in Room 12, Russell Sage Foundation Building at 22nd street and Lexington avenue. The following nine persons were elected members of the executive board, terms to expire 1918: Miss Ella Sachs, Mrs. Albert S Reed, Dr. E. P. Roberts, Edward R S Seligman, Miss Elizabeth Walton and L. Hollingsworth Wood of New York City; Prof. John Hope of Morehouse College, Atlanta, Ga.; Dr. Edward Ewing Pratt of Washington, D C. The annual report of the work done by the League was presented by the associate director, E. K. Jones, and plans for the work of the League during the next fiscal year were presented by William H Baldwin, 3d, secretary, L. Hollingsworth Wood, chairman, presided The report gave an account of work done in New York, Brooklyn, Philadelphia, Richmond, Va.; Savannah, Atlanta, Augusta, Ga.; Nashville, Tenn.; Louisville, Ky.; St. Louis, Mo. It includes the operation of boys' and girls' clubs, Big Brother and Big Sister work in connection with the Children's Courts, work of finding employment and enlarging industrial opportunities for Negroes, the operation of the emergent shop and giving relief and other material assistance to those who need it, the establishment of playgrounds, the conduct of Better health campaigns work of neighborhood improvement through neighborhood unions and civic settlement clubs, inspection of dance halls and establishment of wholesome places of amusement and recreation, and the operation of a Convalescent Home, Boys' camp, neighborhood houses, training centre for social workers and probation work in connection with the court for adults During the past year the League handled 2,003 cases in New York City, which involved employment finding, housing improvement court work, travelers aid, etc. The total number of cases handled in New York during the past five years amounted to 5,547. In New York, Norfolk and Philadelphia, where records have been kept for the last five years 12,381 cases have been handled. The League has two fellows in New York City and three fellows in Nashville, who are being trained for social work. The report emphasized that the League does not plan to do any work which is being covered by other organizations, but has been seeking to get those organizations which are committed to work or upfit among all the people to consider Negroes in carrying out their program of work. During the next year the League is planning to give the benefit of its experiences in the cities mentioned above to groups of people in other cities throughout the country. Already efforts in this direction are being made in Detroit Chicago Indianapolis Cincinnati and Pittsburgh. It will conduct its work along the same lines as those followed during the past years, by placing special emphases upon the work of opening up the opportunities of employment for colored people and trying to prepare themselves for the opportunities which Negroes now have and those which will present themselves from time to time.

ENDS TRADE CAMPAIGN Special to THE NEW YORK AGE MINNESOTA 08/07 A week of verising campaigned right to a close on Thanksgiving night with thirty-five valuable prize winning in a lot on the grounds of Minneapolis a high-grade Singer sewing machine can of coffee were awarded to the prize winner of the theater prize contest. Here were one hundred eight contestants for the prize who submitted 567 entries. 451 W. H. street, 165 west of college M. Alice B. Martin - 165 Markham street, 201, one pair of minisite - Miss Judec Heard, one pair of coffee: A. L. Tucker, 172, one box of coffee. The campaign lasted from November 15 through November 24, and was conducted by sixty-two Atlanta business men who had pooled advertising efforts for an intensive short and snappy campaign. Coupons were given with each twenty-five cents cash purchase, or with each twenty-five cents cash payment on old accounts. The number of coupons given out in the campaign was a little more than 78,000. The amount of cash received by business and professional men during this ten days campaign as evidenced by the coupons would indicate not nearly $20,000 came into the hands of these business men in multiples of twenty-five cents. This does not take account of the purchases made in amounts of less than twenty-five cents for which no coupons were given. If add twenty-five per cent, which is a fair average for the amount received in sums less than twenty-five cents it would indicate that within these ten days colored people paid to colored business men and firms the sum of $25,000 NEGRO INVENTS MAIL DELIVERY DEVICE Special to The New York Age Philadelphia, Pa., Dec. 8—James C. Jones, a colored laborer of this city, residing at 4720 Iarmount avenue, has invented a mail delivery device to be used on rapidly-moving trains, which postal experts have given a severe test and say, save the government millions of dollars. Jones, whose fifty-eight years I and Paul had a hard time of it making both ends meet all his life, believes that he will soon become wealthy. He expects to get a million dollars from the government for his invention. The last test of Jones' new device was made Wednesday of last week, when a train going as high as sixty miles an hour dropped bags of mail and took up others without endangering either the contents of the bags or the containers. With devices now in use, trains must slow up to take up mail bags automatically and the government loses over a million of dollars a year in damages for lost and destroyed mail matter and in the cost of pouches that are hurled under the wheels of the train by inadequate catch devices. At last Wednesday's test Jones, accompanied the postal authorities and directed the tests from the mail car. An engine attached to two cars was run past the receiving device. The test was made eight times, and on each occasion the train was operated at increased speed. The mail catcher worked perfectly at fifteen miles an hour and performed its allotted function without a hitch after the speed of the mail car had been put to sixty miles an hour. The inventor who is a cement worker has never had any scientific training. His invention is the outgrowth of an idea that struck him some years ago when he read a government pamphlet telling of the need of a perfect mail catcher for use in the railway service and the fortune that would fall to the successful inventor of such device. E M Norris, superintendent of the Railway Mail Service of the Second Division of New York, represented the Government in the tests. B S Lellows, chief clerk of the Railway Mail Service of the Eighth Division, Philadelphia, was also present, as were John C McCann and W W Heakes, representing the Railmourn & Ohio Railroad. At the conclusion of the experiment the government officials announced their approval of the device, although they refused to give it a statement for the public. Their report has been forwarded to Washington. In perfecting the device Jones had a difficult task rating money to further the experiment, and sold shares to his colored friends at ten cents each but they soon became discouraged and refused to advance more money. Three years ago he went to Adolph Kreutzer, a brother at 50th and Market streets whom he had known for years and interested him in the invention. Then Kreutzer bought out the other stock holders. Jim has a wife and five children and says when he gets his money he will buy a farm and move to the country. PROMINENT MINISTER AND RACE MAN DEAD Special to TIME, New York Age. Lorraine, S.

Every student who disagrees this family by stealing, by dishonesty, by weakness in any of these directions, by being a member of your own blood and kin. Let us have such teamwork as shall put a premium upon truth and shall make it so that you will not be an instil- an untruth that he cannot stay in Tuskegee in peace. As I said a minute ago, in proportion as we have the reputation for truth-telling, we make one of you proud to be a member of it. We want to have teamwork, not only in the directions to which I have referred, but also in the directions to have teamwork in our spiritual life, in our religious life, everywhere, in the prayer meetings, in the preaching service, in the church service, in the Young Men's Christian Association, in the Young Women's Christian Association, in the Bible School, everywhere we are, and together in the direction which shall bring about the highest spiritual usefulness in this institution, by by each one forgetting his own personal ambitions, forgetting selfishness forgetting all that stands in the way of perfect teamwork.

THE POLITICAL PROBLEM The National Committee of the Democratic party has met and the National Committee of the Republican party will meet next week. So again the time is approaching when the colored voter must meet and work out as best he can his political problem. This problem will be more difficult in the coming general elections than it has ever been before. The Republican party is not the same toward us as it was in former days, and the Democratic party, under the present administration, has shown plainly that it wants nothing to do with the Negro, that it does not even want his vote. Had the Democrats, under Wilson, treated the Negro as the Democrats, under Cleveland, treated them the problem would be simpler. As it is, we are faced with, the lukewarmness, of one great party and with the direct enmity of the other; and, at present, there is no third party to which it would be advantageous for us to turn. How then should we meet the problem? Colored voters, especially in the states where they have political freedom, must exert all the strength and influence possible for the nomination of men who stand squarely on the race question. How a candidate for nomination or election stands on the question of preparedness or tariff or income tax must be, for them, a secondary matter, they must demand of him how he stands on the question of equal human rights, and cast their votes accordingly. It is regrettable that we are forced to narrow our political vision down to these narrow limits, but there is no other way out for us. Let colored voters now wake up. Let them watch the utterances and study the records of men of the party who are seeking political preferment. Let them through organized effort seek to find out how these men stand with regards to the interests of the race. Let them keep their eyes open. Let them begin by watching what attitude the National Republican Committee will take on the Lily White movements in the South. A PLEA FOR JUSTICE The issue of The New Republic for December 4th, contains an article by Booker T Washington which was written on September 13, 1915. The posthumous writings of a man generally have an added interest; and this article by Dr Washington is not lacking in that respect. In the article, he expressed his view on the segregation laws which have been passed or advocated in various Southern communities. The contribution covers nearly two pages and is written in the plain, direct style of which Dr. Washington was master. The whole article is one of the of the strongest that ever came from his pen; an idea of its tone may be gained from the opening paragraph, which we quote below: "In all of experience I have never yet found a case where the masses of the people of any given city were interested in the matter of segregation of white and colored people; that is, there has been no spontaneous demand for segregation ordinances. In certain cities politicians have taken the leadership in introducing such segregation ordinances into city councils, AN INCONCLUSIVE PEACE In spite of the protests they will now neither make vague rumors of peace negotiation to be not without foundation tests, the stronger the founders' all talk about the Allies fight in, or the Teutons doing the impartial people as vain booze spirits. Barring the happening of it is evident that Germany seems equally evident that she decisive enough to place her terms. The policy of attrition not promise an end of the war wearing Germany down does the prospects for peace; she resourcefulness are on the reads between the lines can sign of peace, but a strong one. As much as we are inclined to, we must admit that his nature is Quixotic, yet it has be the opinion and approval. A direct result it has, nevertheless of this country and the whole and the desirability of peace. More important and far more the long-expected word from plea to the warring nations, discuss the terms upon which needs in bringing the belligerency will have been overcome. If the following paragraph carefully, it will be seen that dem and lay down the whole peace can be founded. Peace must be just, group of belligerents, lead to a happy result, found to be good under. As we suggested in it must consist of an indirect, accompanied in consciousness, setting for the full extent of the action those which are unjust equitable recompense, we and possible grace, even if it costs a lot. The last of the paragraph the only probable way in which also the only way in which counts out that those who feel absolutely crushing Germain gained only by utter humility wrong. If the war should be Paris, the most pronounced spirit of resentment and a deference out in another great words, the absolute crushing of physical impossibility, unreserved to an unthinkable To fight the war to "a first formation of one side or the other, more or less than soil which This is illustrated by the left as a result of the Francoied away in the past forty making as a part of her body losses. The loss of Alsace and France could never forget. Stand the statues representing the statues representing Alsace kept draped in mourning and every day since the end of the French never to remove these are again French soil more for Alsace and Lorraine with the evacuation of Germany, she might be willing to. So it seems that the only peace may result is to do so in parties concerned. The method Pope's plea. In spite of the protests of the various belligerent nations that they will now neither make or accept any proposals for peace, the vague rumors of peace negotiations which are floating in the air seem to be not without foundation; and the louder each belligerent protests, the stronger the foundations of these rumors appear to be. All talk about the Allies fighting on until they dictate peace in Berlin, or the Teutons doing the same thing in Paris now regarded by impartial people as vain boasting, or, at best, talking to keep up spirits. Barring the happening of something which cannot now be seen, it is evident that Germany cannot be brought to her knees; and it seems equally evident that she cannot gain a victory over the allies decisive enough to place her in the position of dictator of peace terms. The policy of attrition adopted by the Allies last winter does not promise an end of the war at an early date: that is, the plan of wearing Germany down does not work rapidly enough to brighten the prospects for peace; she gives no signs that her resources and resourcefulness are on the eve of giving out. And yet, one who reads between the lines cannot fail to feel that there are not only signs of peace, but a strong desire for it on the part of all concerned. As much as we are inclined to ridicule Mr. Ford and his 'Peace Ark', we must admit that his venture is a favorable sign. His venture is Quixotic, yet it has behind it a very considerable mass of public opinion and approval. And though his effort may produce no direct result it has, nevertheless, served to quicken the conscience of this country and the whole world regarding the horrors of war and the desirability of peace. More important and farther reaching than Mr. Ford's effort is the long-expected word from the Pope. He has issued a strong plea to the warring nations to lay down their arms and, at least, discuss the terms upon which they might make peace. If he succeeds in bringing the belligerents to this point, the greatest difficulty will have been overcome. If the following paragraphs from the Pope's plea are read carefully, it will be seen that they contain the key to the whole problem and lay down the whole basis upon which any sort of lasting peace can be founded. Peace must be just, lasting and not favorable to any one group of belligerents. It must be a peace that can really lead to a happy result, such as has already been tried and found to be good under similar circumstances. "As we suggested in our original letter to the Powers, it must consist of an exchange of ideas, both direct and indirect, accompanied by a voluntary spirit and serene consciousness, setting forth with completeness and clearness the full extent of the aspirations of each. It must eliminate those who are unjust and impossible and retain with equitable recompense, when necessary, those which are just and possible. It is absolutely necessary, as in all human controversies where the contending parties seek a settlement, that each group of belligerents should cede on some points, and renounce some of the advantages hoped for. It is also necessary that each should make these concessions with good grace, even if it costs some sacrifice." The last of the paragraphs quoted above point out not merely the only probable way in which the present war can be ended, but also the only way in which a firm peace can be established. It points out that those who feel a lasting peace can be gained only by absolutely crushing Germany and those who feel that it can be gained only by utterly humiliating France and England are both wrong. If the war should be carried mercilessly either to Berlin or to Paris, the most pronounced result would be the engendering of a spirit of resentment and a desire for revenge that would grow and break out in another great war at no very distant day. In other words, the absolute crushing of the many millions on either side is a physical impossibility, unless slaughter and annihilation were resorted to in an unthinkable degree. To fight the war to "a finish" will merely mean the utter humiliation of one side or the other, and such a humiliation would be nothing more or less than soil which would produce another war. This is illustrated by the fact that the bitterness which France felt as a result of the Franco-Prussian war would most likely have died away in the past forty years, had not Germany insisted upon taking as a part of her booty two of the fairest of the French provinces. The loss of Alsace and Lorraine proved a humiliation which France could never forget. In the Place de la Concorde in Paris stand the statues representing all the provinces of the Republic, the statues representing Alsace and Lorraine have been continually kept draped in mourning and fresh flowers are placed upon them every day since the end of that war, and it is the intention of the French people never to remove that mourning until those two provinces are again French soil France to-day is fighting, perhaps, more for Alsace and Lorraine than for anything else. Otherwise, with the evacuation of German troops now in the north of her territory, she might be willing to discuss peace. So it seems that the only way to end the war so that a lasting peace may result is to do so in a manner apparently honorable to all parties concerned. The method of arriving at this is set forth in the Pope's plea. WHY NOT COME TO THE POINT? The following clipping is very good in its way, especially coming from a Kansas City paper. The following clipping is from a Kansas City paper: "The principal of a been investigating the gra- for the past ten years are below the pelts boys have been in the lo- How this sort of a children of one race w If Japanese children were children, and proved to s at once be assumed that were a masculine prejud would be the most natural boys are by nature inferior As there happens to vestirment in many outside interests them on their work in sch This must cause Age read if the Kansas City Star were observing the lack of courage of illustration, when both Japanese and so many Negroes ne point? lowing clipping is very good in its way, especially City paper.

Just cause Age readers a smile. Perhaps the Kansas City Star were good enough, but we lack of courage. Why lag in the institution, when both in Ohio and Kansas they do so many Negroes. In other words, why The principal of a high school in an Ohio city has been investigating the grades of boys and girls in the school for the past ten years. He finds that in general the boys are far below the girls in standing. Forty per cent of the boys have been in the lower, third of the class. How this sort of a record would be used to prove that children were worse than those of another. If Japanese children were in the same school with American children, and proved to get uniformly low grades, it would at once be assumed that they were not bright. If there were a masculine prejudice, as there is a race prejudice, it would be the most natural thing in the world to discover that boys are by nature inferior in ability to girls. "As there happens to be no prejudice of this sort the investigators merely point out that the boys generally have so many male characteristics that they could chief attention on their work in school."—Kansas City Star. This must cause Age readers a smile. Perhaps the intentions of the Kansas City Star were good enough, but we cannot help observing the lack of courage. Why lag in the Japanese for the sake of illustration, when both in Ohio and Kansas there are so few Japanese and so many Negroes? In other words, why not come to the point? and after making an appeal to raial predicaces have succeeded in securing a backing for ordnances which would segregate the Negro people from their white fellow citizens. After such ordnances have been introduced it is always difficult, in the present state of public opinion in the South, to have any considerable interest of the Negro people, because their attitude is likely to be misrepresented as favouring Negroes against white people. They are, in the main, afraid of the stigma, "Negro-lover." the various belligerent nations that accept any proposals for peace, the ones which are floating in the air seas and the louder each belligerent projections of the rumors appear to be on until they dictate peace in Berlin something which cannot now be seen, not be brought to her knees; and it cannot gain a victory over the allied on the position of dictator of peace adopted by the Allies last winer door at an early date; that is, the plan of not work rapidly enough to brighten nos signs that her resources are of giving out.

His purpose it a very considerable mass of pulp though his effort may produce no results, served to quicken the conscience world regarding the horrors of war. As from the Pope's plea are really contain the key to the whole problem upon which any sort of lasting long and not favorable to any one must be a peace that can really as has already been tried and similar circumstances. His original letter to the Powers, usage of ideas, both direct and a voluntary spirit and serene with completeness and clearness of each. It must eliminate and impossible and retain with necessary, those which are just as in all human controversies seek a settlement, that each cede on some points, and regrets hoped for. It is also necessary these concessions with good sacrifice." Quoted above point out not merely the present war can be ended, but firm peace can be established. If a lasting peace can be gained only and those who feel that it can be brought France and England are both married mercilessly either to Berlin or result would be the engendering of a fear for revenge that would grow and at no very distant day.

Perhaps the intentions good enough, but we cannot help Why lug in the Japanese for the Ohio and Kansas there are so few In other words, why not come to This is a plain statement of the case, not only of segregation, but of all other active forms of prejudice which are practised throughout the South. If the demagogic politicians would only find some issue, other than the Negro, on which to ride into office, many of the consequences of racial prejudice would gradually weaker and, finally extinct. But these politicians keep stirring things up, and even those people who realize and regret the injustice of their propaganda dare not oppose them for fear of the terrible stigma of favoring Negroes against white people. And so a great many things are allowed to go on which violate the ethical sense of many white people in the South. Dr. Washington's article meets and overcomes in a practical manner every argument which is generally advanced to justify or excuse segregation, and sums up the case against it in the following six points: 1. It is unjust 2. It invites other unjust measures 3 It will not be productive of good, because practically its thoughtful Negro presents its injustice and doubles its sincerity. Any race adjustment base on injustice unjust defeat of the enemy is sheer illusination of what results when it is attempted to make wrong right or seem to be right. 4 It is unnecessary. 5 It is inconsistent. The Negro is segregated from his white neighbor, but white business men are not prevented from doing business in Negro neighborhood. 6 It has been no case of segregation of Negroes in the United States that has not widened the breach between the two races. Wherever a form of segregation exists it will be found that it has been administered in such a way as to emitter the Negro and harm more or less the moral flirt of the white does not express this constant sense of wrong is no proof that he does not feel it Is it not significant that these last words of Booker T. Washington which cone, as it were from the grave should constitute a strong protest against discrimination and a plea for justice? PARAGRAPHS the emphatic demals of any willingness to accept peace being made by the various belligerent nation-are strong indications that overtures for peace are not far off. This carries with it one terrible thought: suppose negotiations for peace are begun and successfully concluded just after Henry Ford reaches Europe, how shall we ever be able to convince him that he didn't do it? Bryan did not go with Ford because he felt that the cause of peace at home required his presence. However, it looks as though his presence is going to produce something different from peace in the Democratic party. Bryan is of some service, after all The Democrats have got a stormy and treacherous sea to sail during the coming session. Our relations with Germany, the question of preparedness; a treasury deficit and tariff readjustments are a few of the rocks which they must encounter. A party which is traditionally incompetent may get along when there is smooth sailing, but it can hardly get the ship of state over this trip with out some sort of mishap. The discussion which was begun some weeks ago in the columns of "The New Republic" on ragtime music is still being waged pro and con. Many scholarly musicians assert that ragtime has no merit, others, less pedantic, insist that it is the only vital thing in American music, in the meantime, ragtime goes on its way triumphant. At some time soon "The Age" will have something to say on the question. WORK OF TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE GOES ON (Reprinted From Montgomery (Ala. Advertiser.) Tuskegee Island While the prentem and founder of Tuskegee Institute peacefully embarked on a new journey, stone with elevated arms growing evergreens, standing as sentinels at head and foot, built between the chapel and the temple, the Tuskegee seems to be everywhere and morning everything at Tuskegee Institute. It does not appear that Booker Washington is dead. It "Team Work" Good. His Spirit Still Governs. The only evidence seen of the death of the great principal is the crepe of mourning at the dote of every heart, student and teacher of Washington, one of whom one can do to do humane to the memory of Dr. Washington by promoting the Tuskegee asidn and by faithfully discharging his respective duties. It is necessary to flesh it. It is only necessary to say: "This what Dr. Washington wanted to be 'ilone', and it is gladly and faithfully done. The great principal is the teacher and institutes all the activities of the school. Memorial Services December 12.

And let all who love mankind, the growth of mankind, the better and wiser converse through which labor may reach experimental society move on as an harmonious whole, insists on being true to his people, as well as just, patriotic and American citizen, honored by his country, and American citizen, honored by his country, and its institutions all wassal and true. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY The Thanksgiving service at St Marks church was spelled by the wedding with the political jubilee, bearmed by the bride by the trick. The clever plans of the elaborate promoters were misinterpreted. The mobs were not paid by the public the collection for the poor headed off the grafters, but can find some of the people all the time. When will the ministers of New York wake up and behead the people who have been beheaded in the brains and the tinkling in agonism. The great antiquity seemed to be the worship God and not to humiliate themselves before a Negro luring, into a massive president. He who was better for him to have had a mull-stone about his neck and that he be may not know what constitutes "the least of these little ones, but joking with who the family ever knew to pray three times a day to their God, these people should have." The president should be invited to the five of these ornaments according to his attitude of Negro race. The will of God and by his decree, it does not seem poor prejudice to take the mobs and to indentify and lead the type of individuals such as Wilson Dixon, Vadamian Tillard, and his crime to the blind of God. Man like the flower flourished for a few days, is cut down and witherthood he is able to survive. Fortune he takes his chance as the monkey and the monkey, but by reason of his superior knowledge he should last longer to keep clear of puffs and death. If help comes from God, he helps most who trust help themselves. If help comes from God, he helps the Negro if you Please is a man, and a citizen should not be so scorned. If you enjoy help, let or help, by God. This movement ought to interest every loyal man and woman of our race, and should be one of the things which should engage our opinion for the new year. CLEVELAND G. ALLEN. TRIBUTES to WASHINGTON BOOKER T. WASHINGTON—AN ESTI- MATE AND TRIUBE. About a score and ten years ago en- cumbered the sand hills of Mason County, Ala- bama, and selected a place for his life into the sand hills of Mason County, Ala- bama, and selected a place for his life origin at that time. In an attentiveness at- tended the solitude of serenity he be- headed with faith, hope and the character- ism of Deer Creek. He was the charac- ter of the higher courage reflective of divinity.

He taught us the religious significance of the matter is the only thing worth white and service is the supreme duty and perfect borrowed emphasis about his racial origin is needed to give magnitude to his esthetic ground of his figure. He was great in spite of kinship, or the handicap of pressing a spiritual democracy, it is immune to the cruel mockery and gibes tensions and limitations.

The Northern press every walk of life, which proves conclusively that greatness is not confined to the Canadian men, T. I. McOY, Daleigh, N. C. BOOKER T. WASHINGTON. (BY JOHN D. BARRY, In Washington, D.C.) Herald. Mountaintop, I saw a Negro strolling comfortably along the street and looking into that fire. I said to myself, I have decided that I had probably not seen it anywhere, and I was strolling with someone in resemblance. From the appearance of the man I in ferred that he was not particularly important. He was concerned with suggestions that he was not successful. The next day, in the office of a newspaper, the man again. He prowled theHooker. There are those who say that when Negroes go up in the world they are likeable to become self-important and arrogant. They have never seen an instance of this kind. However, I must admit that it is from impression. When people are kept down their pants up energies and their self-expression. When people are likely to send them up with a bound and to cause too much self-expression. T. Washington might have been excused if he had betrayed vanity of conceit or self-importance with phenomenal success. But he never did anything of the kind. He gave num- solo no air. He was unassuming, mod- erate, and simple. He met people easily and simply. He talked in a new voice. He talked in a new way. He met the Germans, "a solid man." In other words, he had a level head and he kept in. In some ways there was never so wou- dderful a book written as Booker T. Tweedy. It was not just a people who have not read it can give the selves a treat. It has been justly called a novel. It is more sensational than Mr. Brown novel and more inspiriring. It tells a story. But, of course, there is nothing we can out about it. Perhaps it is what we can wonderful things that are accustomed every day around us and that suggest so much more in the way of human pos- sibilities. It is astonishing in our life is our stupidity, our indifference to our power, our failure and our society for the benefit of the human race if we will only open our eyes and simply have faith, and if we will really care. This leader of an abused race was of mixed blood, one of those that the old new-fashioned Southerners, too, are inclined to shake their heads over "I was a black woman, the lady of my acquaintance, "those who have cone black skins and nothing but white hair, those who love those who are part black and part white". I wondered where the damage was, and what the blood or the white blood or from the mixture". Or was it partly or wholly unidentified because this country some years ago, was fron-tished at the prejudice against the Negro race, and autistically because so large a number of the Negro race had a generous infusion of white blood that felt the prejudice. Surly, if there is anything in heredity, the Negroes of mixed blood in this country have a very strong racial qualities that make our Anglo-Saxon civilization. And Booker T. Washington, the race he represented, races he represented may be proud of. There is no minimizing the loss surmountable in the death of Booker Washington, though there are now many Negroes capable of fighting in the going would have been more in the nature of a disaster. But the progress of his race. He will always remain, however, the phenomenal leader, the most successful of the pilots. Though he died comparatively young, his work was in knowing that many another institution for his people was rapidly developing and offering opportunities were continually increasing. MUSIC AT WASHINGTON'S FUNERAL. (The Public, Chicago.) BOOKER WASHINGTON This work is familiar to Unitarian churches, for among them Mr. Washington and his wife, Mrs. Washington, his cause always met with generous response, but more than this want accustomed praise. It was the product he possessed powers that belong to great oratory,—however, his powers eloquence. He swapped audiences, never descendence to those beneath his authority and mastery which fitted his message to the most exacting occasions. What he had been appropriate to an academic hearing. He had one great idea, and he made his own. He founded his expectation of the progress of his race on the primary of the ability of a community to live in a community. He concentrated his efforts on industrial education, but because he considered it the higher education and because he deemed such concentration indispensable to the success of his cause, he took the step to self-respect and freedom by proving his worth. He taught that to get to the step, his gospel was not acceptable to those who thought that if they got hold on the ground it would lift them wherever TEGO RR ev ae camera reer ee eee ew.

BAKER, Prop. . oct, 14Jmo oe NEGRO SONGS. (BY LESTER A. WALTON.) HOW "Mammy," a Negro song, written by Negroes and sung by a member of the race, was awarded the prize over all other compositions in what is said to have been the most novel song-writers' contest ever held in New York, is one of the chief topics for conversation among the song-writers of the metropolis, and "Mammy," to-day is the most talked of song in "Tin Pan Alley," even though the prize awarded the writers of the piece proved most disappointing. The Strand Roof Garden was the scene of the contest, held several evenings ago, and was participated in by New York's leading composers of popular songs. The judges were women prominent in the social life of the city, Mrs. Vanderbilt being one of the number to decide in "Mammy's" favor. Miss Elizabeth Marbury acted as chief judge. The Strand Roof Garden was packed and jammed on the evening in question to hear the unpublished numbers to be presented, and the audience was not a bit backward in meeting out applause. However, of all the numbers, two found especial favor with the judges and the audience—"Mammy"—and a number written by two well-known white composers. So favorably impressed were the judges with the two songs they asked that the choruses be sung once more, which was done. Abbie Mitchell was singing "Mammy" with Will Marion Cook at the piano. The choruses to the two songs were repeated and "Mammy" was handed the verdict. Now for the second chapter of the story in which I must confess to having been one of the central figures in our seldom relish the idea of telling stories in which we do not come out with dying colors but the are exceptions and true. The music to "Latinum" was written by William Cook which I plied guilty to having supplied the world. Naturally, as do many others, to "Mammy" score an artist's triumph. I had more than a passing interest in the disposition of the prize. No official statement had ever been made as to how much money the winners of the contest would be awarded, but amounts ranging from $3,000 to $1,000 were glibly spoken of in "Tin Pan Alley." To what extent Will Marion Cook allowed his imagination to ramble on the money question I have never learned, but I thought I was conservative by squeezing $2,000 of the "water out of the supposed $3,000 prize and estimated the amount to be awarded at $1,000. That I had already made a mental list of Christmas presents I was going to buy with my "easy" money, I too, must admit. Not wishing to impress the prizegivers that it was necessary for two men to carry away $1.000 in bills, and wishing to convince our white friends that colored people have confidence in one another in financial transactions. Will Marion Cook was appointed a committee of one to receive the prize. Those well acquainted with Will Marion Cook know that he dearly loves to become on exceedingly familiar terms with Uncle Sam's currency, and when he wended his way to the spot where he was to be handed out a wad of yellowhacks and greenbacks he was in a most jovial mood. But the well-known composer's state of joviality was short-lived For instead of a neat sum of money he was tendered a $10 bill. In surprise he asked if some mistake had not been made, but he was promptly informed in the negative. It was then Will Marion Cook gave an oratorical exhibition containing certain passages of English that aroused fear among his auditors that the place would set fire due to spontaneous combustion. When he left he told them he would frame the $10, which he has probably done. As for my Christmas money, if any, I shall look elsewhere for it "Mammy" was written expressly for the production "Darkydom," and the fact that a jury composed of prominent white women, decided in favor of a song written by Negroes and sung by a colored woman, in a contest in which the other competitors were white composers, tends to show that there were merit and artistic genus in "Darkydom," despite its name, so objectionable to some. It was just such distinctive Negro songs as "Mammy," that caused the promoters of the show to hit upon the name "Darkydom." Although not written in dialect, Mammy" honors and extols one of the greatest and dearest characters in American history, and the song is one that possesses a universal appeal. We do not hear of mammy in Africa or in Haiti and in classing "Mammy" as a darky song (and unhypphenated) no disparagement is meant, even if some confuse the word with the obnoxious term "nigger," a term many of our people unfortunately use in conversation with one another. Negroes should not be ashamed of their songs, for more attention is being paid to Negro music to-day than ever. Some musicians of note are now confessing that Negro music is the only American music extant, and the time is rapidly approaching when a more general appreciation will be evicted for Negro songs. And then Will Marion Cook, Harry Burleigh, J Rosamond Johnson, James Reese Europe and others will come into their own and secure fitting recognition, not merely as writers of popular numbers, but as American composers far above the average.

Wills Out-Points Langford. Right at the outset of the bout Langford discovered that Willis was going to be a tough customer for him. As the bell rang the New Orleans Negro jumped out of his corner and pasted two long straight lefts against Sam's face. Langford tried to work his way in, as he wanted to end the game. Sam's face was to work Langford to a neutral corner when the New Orleans fighter jarred Langford on his heels with a hard right to the law. Sam was beginning to get real mad at this sort of treatment and made a rush for his adversary. However, Wills danced around like a lightweight, pecking now and then at Langford's face with both hands. Sam managed to land a left, but in return he landed a right. The next two rounds were like the opening session. Wills kept dancing around the ring shooting in his left, while Langford tried hard to get in close. Sam succeeded several times, but before he could inflict any punishment on Wills the latter would hold his arm out the referee broke them once in the third round Wills but Sam six times without a return. Langford then took his way to the fifth and it began to look as if Wills was slowing up. In a niggle he entered the ring Langford but the New Yorker boxes with terrific lefts. The blows momen- MR.

Wills came out for the sixth round with a smile on his face and he kept dancing around Langford while Sam tried to nail him with his famous left. Once Langford managed to connect with the crowd, but Wills only danced away and about two rights that jarred Sam. The rest of the sessions were all in Wills' favor.
