THE NEW YORK TIMES VOL. XXIX No. 23 OVER 10,000 IN HER EMPLOY Mme. C. J. Walker Making It Possible for Many Women to Earn Good Livelihood. A PROFITABLE BUSINESS Profit Realized by Mme. Walker From Sale of Her Hair Preparations During 1915 Ran Into Six Figures. AN INTERESTING CAREER Started in Business a Little Over Ten Years Ago in Denyer with Husband, Who Thought an Income of $10 a Day Was Sufficient—Two Hundred Agents Represent Mme. Walker in Greater New York. In the business world of to-day any firm engaged in an enterprise which publishes an annual income running into six figures and which provides a good livelihood for over ten thousand persons, occupies a standing above the ordinary and at all times is given respectful consideration. But what of a woman who, through the force of her personality, breadth of vision and untiring efforts, has handed conducts a large business on the scale herein described—and a coerced woman at that! The woman who can justly lay claim to being the head of a commercial protet of such large proportions is Mme C.J. Walker, whose position in the realm of business is unique as well as enviable. There is a tinge of romance in the unusual career of Mme. Walker just as in most cases when people succeed in any avenue of endeavor. Such MME, C. J. cotters are always interesting. But here an instance where truth rivals fiction appealing to the imagination. In the years ago Mme. C. J. Walker, was working woman struggling to the bare necessities of life. She not even well-known in Denver, where she first introduced her preparations. To-day she is known for colored people of every State in town, also in Halti, Santo Domingo and West Indies. There is no deny fact that the phrase, "The Wal- system," is fanfariably known in households throughout this coun- Path Not Strewn with Roses. When seen by a representative of THE Air and asked to tell of the great success she had made as a business woman, Mine Walker smiled significantly and said 'I first want to say that I did not need by traversing a path strewn with I made great sacrifices, met with further rebuff, and had to fight hard my ideas into effect. Why, when I in business a little over ten I with my husband I had busi- sessions with him, for when I am to make $10 a day he thought he mount was enough and I should be satisfied but I was convinced that his preparations would fill a long wait, and when we found it impossible to agree, due to his narrowness of vision, I embarked in business for myself. The New York Age "Leaving Denver, where I had worked up quite a trade, I traveled through the Southern States. I soon realized that I needed a central point for distribution, so I settled in Pittsburgh, where I maintained a home office from 1908 to 1910. While canvassing Ohio and Indiana I visited Indianapolis, which so favorably impressed me that I decided to move the home office to the Indiana capital. I also opened my factory in Indianapolis, where it will remain, for geographical reasons. Eleven people are constantly employed in the factory and occasionally eight or ten are hired as extra help. My attorney, F. B. Ransom, looks after my personal affairs while I am away from Indianapolis and Miss Alice Kelly is manager of the factory. All are colored. "I have traveled in every State in the Union but five, and have been to Haiti, Santo Domingo, Jamaica, Nicaragua and other South and Central American countries in the interest of my goods, and intend to travel extensively in the near future. Having a good, article for the market is one thing, and putting it properly before the public is another. Some Agenta Make $500 Monthly. "To-day I have ten thousand agents in the field, some of whom make from $400 to $500 monthly. I could name many who are making $25 weekly, and some, of course, don't make so much. But all of them are earning a good living, and I feel that I have done something for the race by making it possible for so many colored women and girls to make money without working hard. In Greater New York, alone, two hundred agents are engraved in promoting 'The Walker System.'" Mme. Walker upon being asked to state the amount of profit derived from her business annually, appeared somewhat reluctant to answer the question, and when asked why the hesitancy, stated "Well, until recently, it gave me great pleasure to tell in my lectures the amount of money I made yearly, thinking it would inspire my hearers. But I found that for so doing some looked upon me as a hoastful person who wanted to 'blow my own horn.' And then, again, I received so many requests for money that I concluded it was best to keep mum on that score. I will say, however, that my business last year yielded me an annual income which runs into six figures, and I am going to try to seize my 1915 record this year." Mme Walker has become a resident of Greater New York and will reside in Flushing when the house formerly owned by Bishop Derrick is completely毁ed and she is her daughter, Mme. Lelia Robinson, at the latter's residence, 108-110 West 136th WALKER street, which recently was made one of the finest dwelling places in the Harlem area as she the New York, office and a college where "The Walker System" is taught. About ten daws ago Mme. Walker returned from a trip West, going as far as Oakland, Cal. She reports that the Negro is doing well in a business way, and in Los Angeles, in particular, there are a number of creditable business-centerprises conducted by members of the race. An organization has been formed among young college men from the South for the purpose of helping them selves as well as all young men from Southern schools who come to New York seeking a larger experience. The organization has been named the Southern Utopia Fraternity. The officers: Robert W. Justice, president; R. E. Johnson, vice president; R B Cardwell, secretary; C T. M.Knight treasurer; R A Steten, financial secretary; F A Brandon, recording secretary; M I White, chanlin Among the members are H A Taylor, H S Johnson, A. Gumbly, J W. Rice, J D. Went Fesser McColloch, S. Meyers, L, C Williams, Wm. Partee, Brooks Sander L. A Hayward, W. H. Pearson, W. F Crockett and Frank Woodward. 1 2 3 4 WILL TAKE FIGHT TO U. S. SUPREME COURT St. Louis Negroes to Fight Vicious Segregation Measure Voted a Law Tuesday. UNITED AND DETERMINED Colored Citizens Advised by Legal Authorities that Ordinance Is Unconstitutional—52,000 Vote for Measure and 17,000 Against It Tuesday. Special to The New York Act. St. Louis, Mo.—At last St. Louis, a Republican city, has voted to segregate colored people in separate blocks from the whites, an ordinance having been passed to that effect Tuesday at a special election which resulted in a vote of 52,000 for the vicious measure and 17,000 against. For once the colored people of St. Louis, usually apathetic, have donned fighting clothes and are determined to fight this un-American ordinance to the bitter end. They are united, have funds and have already decided to carry the question to the United States Supreme Court for adjudication. A long fight is in prospect, with the Negroes having every assurance from legal authorities that the segregation measure will be declared invalid in the higher courts. About five years ago real estate dealers began to agitate the question of segregating colored people, and with ample funds to fund them, soon each would a sentiment in favor of such a measure. At first an effort was made to get the City Council to pass a segregation ordinance, but without any favorable results. Nowhere in the United States do Negroes own and live in finer homes than in St. Louis. They can also boast of having some of the finest school buildings in the United, States. They have always lived in any section desired and are confident that this state of affairs will continue. Many Favoring Ordinance Do Not Own Homes. One of the features of Tuesday's election was that most of the whites voting for segregation were not property owners. Two ordinances were voted upon, one providing that a white person or Negro cannot become a resident, in a block occupied entirely by those of the opposite race. The other imposes the same restrictions on blocks where 75 per cent of one race live. The ordinances become effective in ten days unless an injunction is applied for which is almost a certainty. The question has arisen as to what effect the adoption of both ordinances would have, some attorneys holding that there is a conflict between the two. Other authorities, however, hold that the more stringent one supersedes the other. The election was unusually quiet, with no disorder. One hundred and thirty-five challengers who appeared at various polling places for the anti-segregationalists were disqualified. For several days Negro girls and women handed on circulars on street cars and in public places hearing a cartoon which depicted a white man driving a Negro before him and lashing his hare hack, with the inscription "back to slavery." An organization known as the United Welfare Association circulated petitions calling for the election, and the campaign against it has been conducted by the Citizens Anti-Negro Segregation Committee. The present legal residences of whites and Negroes are not affected by the ordinance, which apply only to future residences. Not only residences, but neatest schools, churches, dance halls, and assembly places come within the ordinance. THURSDAY MARCH 2, 1916. 2 EVOLUTION LOCAL PYTHIANS BANQUET OFFICIALS AT LIBYA W. A.

B McRary and Dr. A. M. Moore, all natives of North Carolina, sailed Tuesday, February 29, on the Royal Dutch mail steamship liner Orange Nassan, for Haiti, Panama and Cuba. When interviewed by an Agz reporter just before sailing the Rev. Mr. Brown said "We are acting as a commission from the State of North Carolina to investigate the religious, educational, social and economic conditions of Haiti. We will spend two weeks in Haiti and Santo Domingo. The commissioners have letters from Josephus Daniels, Secretary of the Navy, and other United States officials. Their purpose is to bring before the American people the importance of rendering help to the Haitians. Dr. Moore is head of the largest Negro insurance company in the world and is now managing a great educational campaign in North Carolina which will mean the putting of thousands of dollars in public schools for colored children. WANTS TO RIGHT WRONG: COURT WON'T CONSENT Special to the New York Eye FVANSVILLE, IND—Clifford Yarborough, 48 years old, a white man, said to be a wealthy grain broker living in Pulsak, Tenn., appeared with his attorney, W C. Vawter, before Judge Duncan C Givens last week and asked the privilege of adopting Eugenia Murray, a mulatto girl, 17 years of age, saying the child is his daughter. HAITI IS NOW UNDER CONTROL OF U. S. A. Senate Ratifies Treaty Making United States a Protectorate Over Republic. HAS CHARGE OF FINANCES Radical Democrats from the South Faces Court action against the Haitian Line are Anxious to get on the Haitian Payroll. WASHINGTON, D. C.—Monday the United States Senate without division or amendment, and after comparatively little discussion, ratified the convention establishing a United States financial and police protectorate over the Republic of Haiti. The convention provides for the appointment of an American nominated by the President of the United States as General Receiver to take in all export and import duties, the appointment in the same way of an American financial adviser, whose recommendations shall be received with attention by the Haitian Financial Ministry and the creation of a Haitian constabulary to be officered by Americans until natives are fit to take over the command. The convention gives the United States wide powers of supervision over both the internal and foreign affairs of Haiti. Haiti may not increase its public debt without the consent of the President of the United States or modify its customs laws so as to reduce its revenues from that source; the sale, ownership and transportation of arms in Haiti will be subject to the constabulary with its American officers, both countries agreeing that such a step is necessary to the preservation of order Haiti agrees not to sell or lease any of its territory to any foreign power and to execute with the United States a protocol for the settlement of foreign claims. The right of the United States to intervene in Haïti is reserved in an article stipulating that each of the contracting parties shall have authority to take steps to carry out any of the provisions of the convention, the United States expressly promising to "lend efficient aid for the preservation of Haitian independence and a Government adequate for the protection of life, property and individual liberty." The radical members of the Senate from the South who are constantly yelling about the United States being "a white man's country," were, to a man, willing that this Government assume charge of the affairs of the little black republic. Several Democrats who have all along opposed the appointment of Negroes to office under the Wilson Administration, and who have protested against Negroes working with whites, have already made applications for jobs in Haïti, and are fully aware that their salaries will be paid by the Haitian government. Yarborough was placed on the witness stand and talked freely. He said he wanted to right a wrong done many years ago and give her his name, to which she is entitled. "I have plenty of money and can take good care of her," he told the court "I brought $8,000 with me to Evansville" Judge Given said he could never consent to granting the petition. He said it would he the same thing as sanctioning the marrying of whites and blacks, and this he could not do. Yarborough left the courtroom seemingly very much disappointed. TYLER FIGHTS TO BE ONE OF "BIG 4" FROM OHIO Special to The New York Acu. COLUMBUS, Ohio—Ohio political atmosphere was considerably charged with excitement last Thursday when Ralph W. Tyler filed his petition to have his name go on the ballot for delegate-at-large to the Republican National Convention. Tyler's threat to become a candidate, unless the Burton managers consented to including a colored man on their slate, made some time ago, was regarded as an idle statement. The managers were therefore surprised when he qualified last Thursday, and now there is no way to prevent his name going on the Republican ticket to be voted for delegate-at-large. The primary election in this State to elect delegates will be held April 25. The offer of alternate delegate-at-large made to Tyler was turned down by him. The Republican State candidates for delegates-at-large are Gov. Willis, William Cooper Proctor, Cincinnati; Senator Harding and John J. Sullivan, Cleveland. The anti-slate candidates are Matt Glaser, Cincinnati; Dr. S. C. Giffen, Columbus, and Ralph W. Tyler, colored, Columbus. Tyler says that Ohio Republicans have not selected a colored man to be delegate-at-large for 40 years, and he thinks that it is high time that the race was getting recognition, inasmuch as it has 70,000 votes in Ohio. Colored men are assuring Tyler of their support in his candidacy for delegate-at-large. They do not take kindly to the sop that has been offered them in selecting one for an alternate. They want an actual, voting representation in the national convention. William H. Lynch, leader in the Twelfth Ward, and a hard campaigner, was one of the first to assure Tyler of his support. White daily papers here are giving him support. Assurances to Tyler are coming in from all over the State. In State administration circles, Tyler's candidacy is feared as one having the tendency to lose the governor a considerable colored vote in the State, and conferences, it is said, were held recently to stem the tide. One difficulty encountered, however, is that colored men connected with the Willis Administration cannot consistently go out and work openly against Tyler's candidacy, for to do so would raise a storm against them within the race for asking for representation and then inconsistently working against what they ask for. 1509 FARMERS ATTEND Denmark, S. C—Fully, 1,500 persons attended the seventh annual Negro Farm Disaster School in Denmark, S. C—Fully, Edward D.

MISS BOSFIELD LOSES HER CASE IN COURT Bossey Mass—Under the civil service laws, the head of an institution can discharge an appointee at any time during the six months' probationary period, for any cause, even for race prejudice, according to the ruling of Judge Loring in the Supreme Court in the case of Miss Jane R. Bosfield, who asked for a writ of mandamus to compel Dr. French to reinstate her as a clerk and stenographer in the Medfield State Insane Asylum. Miss Bosfield, after receiving her appointment, was instructed by Dr. French not to eat in the dining room with the white employees, and when she insisted on doing so, he discharged her. The evidence at the trial showed that Dr. French appointed her on the commission, not knowing she colored. He refused to allow her to go to work until Governor Walsh wrote a letter about the appointment. As soon as Governor Walsh went out of office, French got rid of her. Judge Loring held that the superintendent was within his rights in dismissing her, for any cause whatsoever, during the first six months, which is a probationary period. French has applied to the civil service commission for a white clerk with the word "white" heavily underscored. Miss Bosfield and her friends have taken the matter up to Governor McCall but the most hoped for is to present a repetition of the action FREE!

SUNDAY TO JIM CROW BALTIMORE PEOPLE Bryant, Md.

Lawyers well versed in constitutional law are convinced that the segregation measure which becomes a law in St. Louis as the result of Tuesday's election will not stand in the United States Supreme Court. It is gratifying to learn that the colored citizens of St. Louis are full of fight and determined to take this important question to the highest tribunal in the land for final settlement. By so doing they can bury a propaganda which seeks to nullify the Constitution of the United States; and it strikes us if ever there was need of the Constitution being protected as well as its loyal citizens it is NOW. THE DECENT THING. A despatch says that Clifford Yarborough, a wealthy, white grain broker, of Pulaski, Tenn., appeared before the Circuit Court of Evansville, Ind., and asked permission to adopt Eugenia Murray, a seventeen-year-old mulatto girl who, he confessed, was his daughter. The despatch went on to say that the girl was very beautiful, and that he confessed that he mere- It is evident that Mr. Yarborough is a man with a conscience and wants to do the right thing. It is also evident that he could not do the right thing in his own state, Tennessee. We hope that the spirit of justice and common humanity in the courts of Indiana will make it easy for him to carry out his purpose. Mr. Yarborough is doing merely the decent thing; but there are instances when a man should be given extra credit for doing the merely decent thing, and this is one of those instances. RUSSELL GIBSON'S DIME FUND. The letter of little Russel Gibson, published in last week's issue, no doubt attracted the interest of all our readers; and it deserved to do so. The idea was a big one for a boy of ten. We wish to reproduce the first three paragraphs: To the Editor of The Ace I see that little Miss Marjorie Sloane is making a fund to build a battleship. I WANT TO DO SOMETHING. I think the little colored boys and girls can build a fund too. I would like to build a fund as much as would build a battleship but our race down not need a battleship. I would like to help the Memorial fund of our great leader, Booker T. Washington. Russell was evidently inspired by the action of Majorie Sterrett, a little white girl, who sent ten cents to the editor of the New York Tribune to start a fund to buy a battleship for Uncle Sam, but he surpassed the white girl in the nobility of his ideal. Of course it is important that the nation have battleships, but it is more important that humanity be uplifted. It is also of supreme importance that the Negro should learn to contribute money toward his own uplifting. Russell Gibson was given $2 by his father for passing his school examinations. Of this sum he has contributed $1 to start a dime fund to go toward the permanent endowment of Tuskegee Institute. As is known, it is proposed to raise $2,000,000 for that purpose, of which amount it is expected that the colored people will raise $250,000. If the twelve million colored people in the United States can't or won't contribute that amount it will be to their shame. This colored boy has set an example not only for the childrens names and amounts from week to week. JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR.

These are outside men; the progress and give a loose approximation of, but they are not an absolute test. A peoplin numbers and wealth, and yet make reaand exact estimate cannot be made, except arrangements. One of the simplest and surest agreement would be to keep a record of the written books bought and read each year by a people to spread out; it is thought powerable to rise up.

Nothing will be able to little doubt that a measurement of the race is good indicated above would show that its order is not commensurate with its progress in wealth-power. We are nototiously a non-read, when a great and important book is public, peculiar cause, out of the ten or twelve millions do 100,000 buy and read it? Do 50,000 buy and read it? No. Even 5,000? No images show that not only the masses but also the race are non-readers. And these important books concerning the Negro and other subjects of course, a person may never look in them, but the rule is that thinking makes them think more deeply and makes correct this serious fault. We musters. We should not limit our reading to book condition; we should make our reading more useful of life and the world, and thus be able our own problem.

These are outside measurements. They indicate progress and give a loose approximation of how much has been made, but they are not an absolute test. A people may increase both in numbers and wealth, and yet not make real progress. A true and exact estimate cannot be made, except by taking inside measurements. One of the simplest and surest methods of inside measurement would be to keep a record of the number of intelligently written books bought and read each year by the colored people. Increase in population is a measure of procreative power. Increase in wealth is, with us, largely a measure of muscular power. Increase in the reading of good books is a measure of thought-power. Now, numbers-power and wealth-power are essentials of greatness in any people; but they are powers which, by themselves, merely enable a people to spread out; it is thought power which enables a people to rise up. When the millions of Negroes in this country really begin to develop thought-power, they will not only spread out, but they will rise up. Nothing will be able to hold them down. There is little doubt that a measurement of the race made by the inside method indicated above would show that its progress in thought-power is not commensurate with its progress in numbers-power and wealth-power. We are notoriously a non-reading people. For example, when a great and important book is published which pleads our peculiar cause, out of the ten or twelve million of us in this country, do 10,000 buy and read it? Do 50,000 buy and read it? No. Do 10,000 buy and read it? No. Even 5,000? No. These figures show that not only the masses but also the intelligent classes of the race are non-readers. And these figures are true both of important books concerning the Negro and important books on all other subjects. Of course, a person may be a deep thinker and never look in a book; but the rule is that thinking people read, and reading makes them think more deeply and more quickly. The race should correct this serious fault. We must become greater readers. We should not limit our reading to books written about our condition; we should make our reading general, so as to broaden our view of life and the world, and thus be able to better understand our own problem. But regardless of what books he may read, every colored man who makes any pretension to intelligence and progress should possess a "Race Library" of the best ten, twenty, thirty, forty or fifty books that have been written, according to his means will allow. The editor of any one of the foremost Negro publications would furnish such a list to those who sought the information. Or a post card sent to Young's Book Exchange, No. 135 West 135th Street, New York City, will bring a complete catalogue of such literature. The following is a list of more or less recently published books which are well worth reading: "Samuel Coleridge-Taylor Musician," a life of the greatest colored composer, by W. G. Berwick Sayers. "American Civilization and the Negro," by Dr. C. V. Roman, a book of four hundred pages in which the author shows that all "humanity is one in its vices and virtues as well as blood." "Folk Song of the American Negro," a study and an exposition of American Negro folk-song traced from Africa by Prof. John Wesley Work of Fisk University. "Phillis Wheatley, Poems and Letters," a complete collection of the poems and letters of the first poet of the race, together with an appreciation by Arthur A. Schomburg.

I had to say so many hard things about Georgetown relief and pleasure to be able to say sometime last week we mentioned the fact that some of us are speaking out aloud against lynching, and the enforcement of law a live issue in the commuters; that was indeed encouraging news. We a remarkable editorial printed on the front page of the entire front page—of the Southwest Georgia our readers was kind enough to send us a published at Fort Gaines, a town in the south and on the Alabama border; in a section lynchings have taken place. Following is the We have had to say so many hard things about Georgia that it is a positive relief and pleasure to be able to say something to the contrary. Last week we mentioned the fact that some of the people in that state are speaking out aloud against lynching, and are endeavoring to make enforcement of law a live issue in the coming election for state officers; that was indeed encouraging news. We are now reproducing a remarkable editorial printed on the front page, in fact, it covered the entire front page—of the Southwest Georgian. One of our readers was kind enough to send us a copy of the paper. It is published at Fort Gaines, a town in the southwest corner of Georgia and on the Alabama border; in a section where many of the recent lynchings have taken place. Following is the editorial: Time to Call an Abrupt Halt instantly and with some trepidation we are about to manfact that will cause any man fit to be called a white man but proud of the circumstance which made this article in Blufton district last Saturday night some belonging to Necrores was destroyed by fire. The suit is amenable, misguided miscreants wearing white men and the hands of guests in there breasts went it like thieves to a corner, and stuck torches to the man who takes any pride in the traditions of his captain in such a demonstration of sneaking infantry, there existed any good reason for removing these hunts would have attended to the job in broad daylight and have reflected no discredit upon the white people at citizens of Clay. We must bring this sort of it. If possible, let us apprehend these 'night workers' Reluctantly and with some trepidation we are about to make a statement of fact that will cause any man fit to be a called a white man to feel anything but proud of the circumstance which made this article necessary. Down in Bluffton district last Saturday night some more church property belonging to Necrotes was destroyed by fire. The supposition is that a few miserable, misguided miscreants wearing white men's skins on the outside and the hearts of extras in their breasts went at the hour of noon on Saturday night. The church would have no white man who takes any pride in the traditions of his race would have participated in such a demonstration of sneaking infamy. Had there existed any good reason for removing these buildings, real white men would have attended to the job in broad daylight and in a way that would have reflected no discredit upon the white people of this county. Decent citizens of Clay. We must bring this sort of thing to an abridged book. If possible, let us apprehend the "night workers" and give them to the penitentiary where they belong. They are dangerous. Provoke them a little and they would burn your houses with as little compulsion as they burned the Negro churches. We can, we will see to it that the Negro treats us right, we can and we must see that no white man wantonly and ruthlessly disregards the elemental rights of the Negro without incurring grave danner of severe punishment. Whites and blacks are living here at peace with each other, and the one is more or less dependent upon the other. Cursed be he who disturbs those amicable relations. The crimes of this section. Keep cool: don't make fools of yourselves. The white people who love justice and who have your welfare and their own best interests at heart will make an honest effort to make somebody sorry for having been too careless with fire. We call this a remarkable editorial, and it is. Of course its statements would not be remarkable in the Evening Post or the Boston Transcript, but, in a rural newspaper down in southwest Georgia, they are brave words. The editor writes with some reservations; as, for instance, where he says, "Had there existed any good reason for removing these buildings, real white men would have attended to the job in broad daylight and in a way that would have reflected no discredit upon the white people of this country." It is easy to point out that no good reason for lawlessly "removing these buildings" could exist; and even though the job were attended to in broad daylight by bold white men, instead of at night by cowardly sneaks, the deed would still be discreditable to the white people of Clay County; but to do this would be mere quibbling, in view of the fact that the article as a whole is so courageous a protest against lawlessness and so strong a plea for justice and fair play. It is difficult to overestimate the significance of the Southwest Georgian's editorial. Such a stand taken by a rural newspaper points to a revolution in sentiment in Georgia and throughout the South. Indeed, it is proof that the revolution has begun; otherwise, this editor would not have dared to write and publish such words. nor would the community have allowed him to get away with it. The editor of the Southwest Georgian is a brave man. He is on the right track. We hope that he will continue to grow in truth until he is able to strike for human rights without any reservation or qualification. He has set an example which if followed generally by the press and pulpit of the South would end lawlessness against the Negro almost instantaneously. We wish for him more courage to his heart and more power to his pen. A REAL NEW SOUTH. At Austin, Tex., Chief Justice Key of the Court of Civil Appeals, handed down an opinion against the State in its suit against the Galveston-Harrisburg and San Antonio Railroad charged with violating the "Jim-crow" law by allowing four colored men to ride in a sleeping car from Los Angeles to San Antonio. "Such a decision as this, coupled with the outspoken agitation now being carried on against lynching, gives signs of the birth of real new South. For this much is true, in spite of whatever economic and financial progress the South may make, it will never make absolute advancement until it puts away racial injustice. THE LILYWHITES We are in receipt of letters from various parts of the South informing us that a strong Lilywhite movement is being jaunched all over that section of the country. This means that the white Republican office-holding element in the South is making renewed efforts to rule the colored man out of the party. These same men have for years fattened at the Government trough, and they were enabled to do this because they had behind them what was, numerically at least, a Republican party; and this party was made up almost entirely of colored men. Now they are seeking to debar from representation in the party the very men to whom for forty years they have owed their preferment and even their livelihood. They still want to get hold of the offices, and they still want to keep their colored constituency, but at the same time they want to bar the colored man from representation in the councils of the party and from participation in the patronage; colored men in the South, aided by their brethren in the North, should see to it that they do not do these three things at one time. These Lilywhites, who are seeking to make the Republican party in the South a "white man's party" do not belong in the party; they logically belong in the Democratic party. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY THE COLORED WAITER. To the Editor of The Age: In the letter in which attention the enclosed letter which recently appeared in the New York Herald. TO THE EDITOR OF THE HERALD: Why can't we now get down to brass tacks in this country? Since the dinner for the first time in the United States tried to poison the people there, it would seem the present is a good time to be American. Let us have the American colored water, the one who is all smiles. The colored man will spend his money in the country and not take it out of the country. WHITE MAN New York City Feb. 11, 1916 The Colored Waiter. I call the matter to 'your attention with the thought particularly that you and other New York newspapers and other New York hotels have suggested the suggestion contained in this letter to the editor of the New York Herald to the extent of innsurprising a viewpoint on the importance of placing the managers of New York hotels through some organization. Like the Hotel Manager a Association of New York City, some of the managers are advantage and profit to reintroduce the colored waiters and to appeal to them for a more careful consideration of the suggestion addressed in the White Man's Journal among which may be included the following. First, there are just as many thoroughly competent, colored men as are to be found among the imported waiters, and the colored men are not included in the anarchistic element of the suggestion. Second, the foreign waiters have not "towed fair" with the colored men in competing for work. They have taken advantage of the situation to put their own ends much to the disadvantage of the colored men. There has been a feeling among the colored waiters that they have been "towed fair" many "frame-ups" by these foreign men. Third, colored waiters are now employed at Young's Hotel and the Plaza Innton House in Milwaukee and other leading hotels and cafes, and these men are performing their duties to the entire satisfaction of the hotel's guests. Colored men are also rendering splendid service at Palm Beach, Bt. Augustine and other important Florida resorts, where they and fashion forgereach each year. Fourth, there is a growing sentiment throughout the South, led by such important publications as the Atlanta (Ga.) Constitution that the colored men in the South are to be held in the places in Southern hotels and homes, is it too far-fetched to venture that the "gild-fashioned Southern cooking," developed by the Negro cooks, the only real tradition? The men will necessarily demand for these dishes will necessarily open the way for colored workers in hotels and this is all the more reason why their poor lair fitness should be brought to the attention of the hotel managers of the hotel. Any agitation for the reinstatement of the colored watter should be conducted along the most dignified line—that is, along the line of non-ness-like manner and whenever an opportunity is given or an opening set for men in dress, give that sort of air which adored the colored watter of twenty years ago the pride of many hotels of the coun- (Signed) EMETT J. SCOTT, Tuskegee Institut, Alabama The Colored Orphan Asylum Management To the Editor of The Age: The management of the Colored Orphan Asylum has not been subjected to so much unjust criticism, both through the press as well as on the part of unthinking individuals, that it becomes a duty on the part of one who knows whereof he speaks to and who is involved in the actions. My purpose is to set forth the injustice in criticizing the fact that a white man holds the position of superintendent and the implication that a white man cannot take sufficient real interest in colored people, and that it is due to Dr. Plitman to say that I do not know of any institution owned and operated exclusively by colored people, where the general management is any better than that at the Near Race. The institution at Riverdale is owned and managed by our white friends. Employment is given to about 100 students, and many are white. It is apparent to any open mind that this management of or any other institution is a prerogative environment. If any attempt on the part of any person to minimize or discredit the good work being done under the present superintendent is, to say the least, disqualified, the black, will deny that the Negro in all parts of our country is subject to many indignities at the hands of the Negro. The Negro remains that among that favored race we have always had friends who have never hesitated to nobly respond to the question of race. No better argument for this claim can be furnished than that stately institution at Riverdale, which buildings cottages grandeur, and a generation of approximately one million dollars. When the monument of Sir Christopher Wren, the architect of St. Paul's, London, was asked by the question of your "When certain of the disciples of John the Baptist wanted to know of Jesus if He was the Messiah who was the Messiah who answered to them was "Go back and tell John what things ye have seen." Seeing is knowing and believing. I believe that it more people than people, and I look on about them, and having seen, tell their friends what things they have seen at the Colored link will have been forged in the chain which unites our white and colored inhabitants into one common bond of mutual love. CLEARANCE W. ROBINSON. The Colored Orphan Asylum and Its Children. In connection with the damaging testimony given concerning various public institution, I emphatically protest against the report made by the board of Charities on the colored Orphan Asylum, at Riverdale-on-the-Hudson, New York City. The report is a gross injustice to the superintendent, the board of Directors and the adjudicator. I have personally visited this institution on numerous occasions in the last year and a half, and have been through the various buildings, therefore many of the children have been treated because我 considerable astonishment. In the first place, he claims that the children have no tooth-brushes. So far from this being a fact, such and such evidence is not compelled to use it. I positively know of this, for I supplied the brushes to the institution, and further, I have seen them time and again hanging in the room, and bearing evidence of frequent use. The investigator criticizes the children's clothing. I have furnished clothing to this institution and to many other institutions. The orphan Asalam buys a better grade than is usually bought by institutions. The report also mentioned the lack of rubber sheeting on the beds. I have investigated whether he would have found rubber sheets on the beds where they were needed. As to the children not having table napkins I have furnished them and have seen the children using them. I happened to be there at a moment. The investigator found the buildings dirty. Not on any of my visits have I found them so even where such a facility might be reasonably looked for—that is in constant use. I can also speak with authority as to the discipline. I had a demonstration correcting children in one of my visits there, when I was not particularly disposed to indorse the patience displayed for I was compelled to wait for nearly an hour before I could correct children had deliberately throuwn a rock, hitting another boy and injuring him. I listened to the whole controversy and also culprit. Dr Pitman, the superintendent, heard both sides of the story, then dismissing boy, took the guilty one and talked to him for about half an hour and what a terrible thing he had done, until he shamed the boy thoroughly and made him apologize to the other. And what a terrible thing he had done, followed out for my special benefit, for I learned upon injury that the children are disciplined by appealing to their mother and self-repeal. In all the time that I was in this institution, there has never been in any instance where correction was necessary the slightest suggestion to by Dr Pitman or his assistants. The children are an happy and healthy a lot of boys and girls as can be found anywhere, and they certainly a manner of children who are ill treated. I might take exception to others' charge in the report, but I will resist myself to the statement that I consider a rank injustice was done the institution. Which you would publish this for I desire to correct the wrong impress SEVENTH ANNUAL SESSION JUNE 12 TO JULY 21, 1916 OVER 400 PRESENT EACH SESSION BURING LAST THREE YEARS sion given of the Colored Orphan Asylum. I feel that I am able to speak with a keen observer, and to tact with institutions, and, being a keen observer, I think I am a fair judge of what constitutes either good or bad management. M. D.

ADVICES from the Philippines state that Walter H Loving, for fifteen years conductor of the Philippines Constabular Band, has retired with honor with the rank of major. The well-known bandmaster is said to have found it necessary to relinquish his duties as conductor of the famous musical organization because of ill-health. He will spend the next two years of his life at Fort Bayard, New Mexico, in the dry air which is necessary if he is to recover from the complaint which has attacked him. Major Loving has a large acquaintance in this country, where he was born, and his many friends in Washington, St. Louis, Baltimore and other cities will be surprised to learn of his illness, as he is a man of large and robust physique and has always enjoyed good health. The climatic conditions of the Philippines are said to be responsible for his present condition. The Philippines Constabulary Band, under the direction of Major Loving, has appeared before the American public on a number of occasions. It was one of the features of the World's Fair in St. Louis, and also attracted favorable attention at the inauguration of President Taft, who was at one time Governor of the Philippines. The Manila Daily Bulletin gives the following account of Major Loving's farewell: In the presence of the largest assemblage ever gathered on the Luneta on an occasion of this nature, Captain Water H. Loving, retiring bandmaster of the famed Constabulary Band, last evening conducted his last concert, at the conclusion of which he was formally presented with handsome gold golf clubs, newly engraved, a platinum chain, and a purse of gold, by Judge Gilbert in behalf of the Manila community. Prior to this event he was presented with a beautiful loving cup from the members of the organization of which he has been the head and moving spirit for nearly 15 years, testimonial of the early days in which he held the members of the band have been displayed on the music stand during the concert. The vast crowd began to assemble long before the hour set for the farewell concert, and by 6 o'clock the Luneta was packed with a multitude of people, the great majority of whom stood in rapt attention uninterrupted. The next man on the platform was Sousa's "Stars and Stripes Forever," following which Judge Gilbert mounted the steps of the bandstand, and, in his always felicitous manner, made the presentation speech and handed to Major Loving the parting remembrances. Viably affected, Major Loving responded by expressing his gratitude for the honor conferred upon him and his sincere pleasure and appreciation of the thoughtfulness and kindness of the donors. He expressed his secret in leaving the people of the Philippine Islands and his many friends here, and especially the members of the band which he had organized over 14 years ago. He ventured he that he might some day return to the islands, and that all who had thus demonstrated their friendship on this memorable occasion. At the conclusion of this affecting presentation ceremony, Major Loving took up his baton, the band arose a body, and the sweet strains of "Auld Lang Syne" were played moment before the conclusion of this piece, which was performed down and handed his baton to his successor, Leutenant Navarro, who finished the melody, while the retiring bandmaster turned to the throng and bowed his appreciation of the ovation of cheers which followed. Judge Gilbert said. Major Loving, Ladies and Gentlemen: "It is my very great pleasure to have been selected. In voice for the community, I am a great musician and you and of your great musical organization. Your departure at this time is a poignant grief to the community. "As long as life shall endure with any of us, your name will be remembered and your achievements recalled with the keenest pleasure. You have accomplished a wonderful achievement of your own and your bands. But as a rule they have been able to select the best trained musicians from which to form them. You. In great measure, have trained the individual musicians who compose your organization. It has been a unique achievement. Your name and your fame are known wherever great music is heard. But more than this, you have wrought this success with great skill and energy becoming. Again and again you have heard the plaudits of the multitude, and yet have preserved the unassuming demeanor of the really great man. All of us have seen many a man ruined by an aplause. Moderate success has frequently been transformed into utter failure, because, to use a common phrase, it has not stood. Not so with you. Through the years you have wrought unceasingly Every day has brought its task, and to this task you have given your all. "You leave us now, and you leave us all your debtors. We, none of us, can hope to ever pay that debt. The burden of the toll of many a day has been felt by all of us. The strains of your music Lives have been elevated, conduct has been rectified, souls have been strengthened, and sleep has been sweetened, because you have lived and worked among us. "There can be no better measure of a successful life than the amount of money you have brought to others. Measured thus, you have achieved a great success. No man in these beautiful islands has done more. Who has done as much? "You are going from us We believe to soon return. We will need you here. These men about you will tell you how you know your worth. They know what you want them to do. We, the citizens, will need you. Regardless of race or color; regardless of religious or political views, regardless of station, high or low we will need you. We are selfish, we want you back. Be assured that if your health permits, we will have you back. Along to us. Our pride in you will not permit us for long to do without you. "As inadequate are are my words to any token that the community might bestow, to show to you our affectionate and generous kindness as to carry away some little things as ample of this night; not for its intrinsic worth or value, but that you may pre- DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS serve $^h$ the archives of your memory that here your great work was wrought. "In the name of a few of your friends I am permitted to present it to you. May its use be a constant reminder of the friends you leave behind May all life's clouds disappear. May your most heartfelt desires be grateful that you always have a large amount of joy and happiness you have treetly given others. God speed you." Walter H.

Lincoln Defeats Howard Friday, February 25, the basketball teams of Howard and Lincoln Universities clashed in the final game of the season in Washington at the Indoor athletic meet held in Convention Hall, 51th and S streets, N W Score was Lincoln 43, Howard 42. The game itself was a listless, long drawn out affair lacking interest until near the end of the second half when with Lincoln 14 points ahead, Howard made a wonderful finish and came within a point of tearing the score before the final whistle blew. The score at the end of the first half was Lincoln 21, Howard 15. While Holland and the Miller starred for Howard the rest of the team appeared to loaf. Lincoln played aggressively throughout, their floor work and shooting from the foul line in particular being good. Many fouls were called on both sides but Howard only caged 3 or 4 out of at least twenty-five tries and their general play showed that a great deal is lacking to bring them up to the standard of this season's best teams. The line-up was as follows: HOWARD (42) LINCOLN (43) Wiseman . R. F . Young Miles . L. F . Williams Taylor . C. Young Nutt . R. G . Goss Holland . L. G . Brown Substitutes by Howard, Miller for Wiseman, Dean for Holland, Piper for Taylor Referee E B; Henderson Time of halves, 20 minutes each. St. Christopher Loses to Hampton. On Washington's birthday Manager Hooper Coach Wetzel and the St. Christopher Red and Black machine journeyed to Hampton confident of victory after its great game with "Alpha", but lost to Hampton by 31 to 18. Since the Hampton game in New York, Coach Wetzel had gotten all the cogs in his great machine well lubricated, and the Hampton-St Christopher game will long be remembered as the hardest battle ever staged here. Hampton started the scoring but about the middle of the first half St. Christopher took the lead. Their joy was short lived, however, for "Pop" Gayle made four long shots from the middle of the floor, teeing the score. The first half ended 18-18. In the second half Hampton took the lead and kept it until the end of the game. The St. Christopher machine excelled in spectacular passing, but Hampton excelled in accurate shooting Time and again the "Machine" would carry the ball down the floor with team work that electrified the spectators, only to find every man covered when they reached the basket. The game was fast and clean; both teams, however, made a number of fouls, Hampton making nineteen and St. Christopher eighteen. Hampton shot twelve field goals and St. Christopher ten. This makes the third straight victory that Hampton has won over St Christopher. The defeat was keenly felt by the "Machine," as it wanted to defeat Gayle, who played the most wonderful game of his career. He alone made 26 of Hampton's 37 points 'Gayle represented Hampton for the last time, as he graduates this spring. In hijn Hampton loses the most wonderful athlete ever developed here. Not only has he unusual skill but the self-control and a spirit of fair play that has made him the favorite of the country. Gurnoe, Gayle's running mate for four years, also graduates, as does Atkine. Every man on both teams played for life and death For St Christopher the Jenkins trio did great work . . . Hampton (37) - Gale, Edwards, Gurnoe, forwards, Temple, Edwards, center, Dorsey, Atkine, miners, guard St. Christopher (28) - Rose, Lowry, C Jenkins, Green, forwards, H Jenkins, Bradford, center, Robbins, Jenkins, guards, Gunner, H B Skinner, timekeepers, Rush Stones, E J C Williams, goers, G E Coles, C M Hooper Palm Beach Baseball There were two great games of ball played here last week. Tuesday's game was won by the Breakers, the score being 2 to 1. Lankford for the Breakers pitched a great game allowing but two hits against eight made by the Breakers against Dismukes who also pitched a good game for Ponnera Lankford was at his best with men on bases, as he pitched himself out of several bad holes. Grada's game saw the first defeat of Joe Wilkinson at Palm Beach, as the Ponciana team beat him to 1. The Ponciana had Dismukes on the Aring line. Both pitchers pitched a great game but Dismukes was the winner. The series now stands Breakers 2 games, Ponciana 3 games. BASKETBALL (BY WILL ANTHONY MADDEN). Send all matters direct to 269 West 4th street, New York City, and have same in our hands by Monday night of each week in order to secure its appearance in the current issue. As was expected, Alpha "Big 5" defeated Howard University five on Washington's Birthday night. What was not expected was the great game that Howard put up, the final score being 29 to 18 in Alpha's favor. The most noticeable thing about the game was the terrific speed with which both sides played. The game was lightning fast, but Alpha got away to a good start and finished the half with a ten-point lead, the score being 17 to 7. When the second half began Howard started with a rush and played Alpha man for man, with the result that she actually beat "Big 5" in the second half by one point, the count being 12 to 11 It seemed to me that it was another case of Alpha quitting, because the New York boys certainly did slow up a good deal in the last part of this game. If Alpha had not secured that safe lead in the first part of the game Howard would surely have defeated her. The Washington boys played a fine game, and this boy Hollow and showed up to great advantage in accurate passing and ability not to fumble. Howard's team is much lighter this season, but very fast. Alpha played a faster and harder game than she did against St. Christopher, and Babe Thomas' improvement over his St. C. showing was remarkable. He must have gone into special training for this game, as his work was so much better. However, he has proven there is still a game or two in left in the veteran Wiggins and Dash played good, with Dash's shooting greatly improved. Sing Goode was still the old reliable floor man, with Capers playing a sterling guard game. Capers' guarding and all-round work was even better than his work in the St. Christopher game, and that is "going some." George Capers is in great form this season. Although Howard played well, it was another defeat against the great college. It is results that count. Final score. Alpha, 29; Howard, 18. In what was evidently one of the bitterest fought games of many seasons was the long-looked-for clash between the St. Christopher "Tigers," lightweight champions of the East, and the Carlton M. C. A. Seniors, champions of Brooklyn, the Brooklyn lads winning by the close score of 30 to 28. It is the first game that the champion Tigers have lost in three long years of wonderful basketball. The Tigers have been organized for four years, and in this time have lost only once, which was at the very beginning of their organizing. At that time the same as this it was Manager Quentin Vaughan's team that defeated them. He was manager of the Laetitia A C when he won his first victory, and now he is at the head of the Carlton. The reason for the "Tigers" defeat seemed to be due entirely to the marvelous guarding of the Brooklyn team. They played a three and a five man guard game that almost entirely prevented St Christopher from getting within shooting distance of the basket. The St C boys had to resort to a great deal of long shooting, and in this department of the game Freddie Lowry was in his old-time form, making some wonderful shots. As a team St Christopher's team work and passing was far superior to that of Carlton. In fact, their machine-like formations were almost perfect. It was this perfect system that forced Carlton to resort to that one-man guard game in the critical pinches which proved a defense that the "Tigers" just could not break through. It might also be mentioned, that Scott, the Carlton's star guard, was still too sick to play, but little Dyson ally filled his shoes. Altogether it was a hard-dought game with each team a likelyinner at any stage of the game Hampton again defeated St. Christopher. This is Hampton's third straight victory over the Parish House boys. In next week's issue I will touch more fully on this matter. A special write-up of the Alpha-St. Christopher game will appear next week.

Satterwhite, the Rev C. E. Askew and the Rev Coleman spoke in favor of the move. The executive committee was empowered to work out all details and call another meeting. It was clearly shown how serviceable this institute can be to those engaged in Sunday School work. Bible lectures will be given one each week for four years. After completing this course of study the pupils are given certificates as proficient Sunday School teachers. It is asserted that nearly ninety per cent. of all the young men and women sent out from colleges and high schools, have little or no knowledge of the Holy Bible. One speaker said: "I venture the assertion that not ten per cent. of our professional men and women (school teachers included) are able to preside over an ordinary Sunday School, and explain to the pupils the geography of the Holy Land, etc." He said, "It is to be regretted that a knowledge of the Holy Bible is not taught in our public schools. The founders of our country have made a grave mistake, in excluding the Holy Bible from our public school curriculum." Dr. S. N. Voss, representative of the American Baptist Publication Society is leading this move and it is hoped that all the Sunday School workers in this city will not only see the necessity for this Sunday School Institute, but will interest others along this line.
