HAS THE LARGEST VOL. XXIX No. 24 NEGRO DEALERS AND RACETRADE The Age to Investigate Trade Conditions in Harlem and on Columbus Hill. A STUDY IN RACE PATRONAGE Investigation to Discover What Percentage of the Patronage Given by Race Goes to Various Race Enterprises. ALL LINES WILL BE TAKEN UP Articles to be Published in this Paper Will Cover all Avenues of Industrial Activity, Mechanical and Professional, as Well as Mercantile-Question of Business Location to be Considered Also. For several weeks THE AGE has been conducting an investigation into trade conditions in Harlem and on Columbus Hill, as relating to the comparative patronage given to businesses conducted by colored and white proprietors from members of the Negro race. The results shown by this investigation will be embodied in a series of articles to be published in the columns of THE AGE. It will be shown, accurately and clearly, from actual facts, just what proportion of the race's trade is being received by members of the race who are engaged in the various lines of business endeavor, and just what proportion of that trade not white tradesmen. In Harlem, for instance, there are several short order or dairy lunch restaurants conducted by Negroes. There are many of the same kind of places conducted by members of other races. It has been charged that landlords have discriminated against colored tradesmen by refusing to let them have the more favorable locations, although the neighborhood is populated almost entirely by Negroes. As evidence of this, it is cited as a fact that one colored man who had conducted a restaurant for a number of years in a particularly advantageous location on 135th street near Lenox avenue could not secure a renewal of his lease, but was forced to move to another place on Seventh avenue. His former location is now occupied by a Greek restaurantur. Many Race Enterprises A baker father a department store, a book store many grocery stores, millinery stores auto schools and garages a furrier, barber shops, news-stands bootlash stands, real estate agencies, employment agencies, salons and cafes, photographic studios tailor shops—in fact, nearly every line of business endures is being conducted by members of the race and it will be the aim of Turn in the forthcoming series of articles to show just what percentage of the money spent by the race is being spent with these colored merchants and business. Then, there are representatives of the race conducting enterprises allied with the mechanical arts. Mechanics of the race have organized an association, the members of which are engaged in the direct trades, and have made a strong appeal for the patronage of the race. Carriers, brick masons, plumbers, painters, electricians, iron workers, and representatives of other trades, are included in membership. In practice, with this phase of the merger, it is important that the facts brought out will show that there is no reason why the merger of the trade of the race should be given to these colored mergerprises. From a standpoint of race equality or stock, equipment or goods, the race merchants can be, in particular with the merger of fewer races. articles will continue with the cold is covered.

UNDER MANN WHITE SLAVE LAW Martyn was Supposed to be a White Man, Pastoring White Churches and Marrying White Wives in New York—Went to St. Louis, Claimed to be a Negro and Brought Pretty Negro Girl to New York. Arrested last Friday night as he was entering a theatre at 12th street and Lincoln Avenue, charged with a violation of Mann White Slave Law, the Rev. Ferrier F. Martin, who came to this city from St. Louis a few months ago with Miss Vera Davis, to whom he was married by the Rev. A, L. Murray, of Jersey City, after reaching here, was discharged from custody by the Federal authorities on Saturday. The arrest was made by Detectives Boyle and McGee, of the Fourth Detective Branch Bureau, West 123d street. Martyn was in company with the young woman, who gave her name to the authorities as Vera Houston. They have been living at 227 West 132d street. Martyn is the son of the Rev. W. Carlos Martyn, of Connecticut, a noted white clergyman, lecturer and author. Young Martyn graduated from the Union Theological Seminary, 120th street and Broadway. He had previously graduated from Columbia University. He married twice while living in New York, both wives being white women. In 1912, while pastoring at Llmhurst, L. I., he became engaged to another young white woman, a member of the congregation, but a strange young woman appeared and Martyn disappeared. Up to this time he had passed as a white man. Pastored in St. Louis. But he next turned up in St. Louis, with a colored woman, and began to pose as a Negro. His mother, who was of Spanish extraction, was, he claimed, a colored woman. His father had previously pasted the Plymouth Congregational Church in St. Louis, one of the leading white congregations in that city. This edifice is now occupied by a colored Baptist congregation, and in this church Martyn frequently preached while in St Louis. He is an eloquent speaker, with a brilliant and well-trained mind. He was very popular in St Louis until it was reported that the woman with whom he lived was not his wife. It is alleged that Martyn and the woman both made this admission. Securing an authorization from the congregation which he pastored to make a campaign in the East for funds for the church in the New York Martyn in St. Louis, shortly after and caused to New York, shortly after he left, the mother of Miss Vera Davis, a 17-year-old high school girl, discovered that the girl had left home. She traced the girl to New York and found she had joined Martyn. Mrs Davis made an effort to have the authorities apprehend Martyn at that time, but it was found that the couple had gone over to Jersey City, gotten a license and had the marriage ceremony performed by the Rev. A. L. Murray, pastor of Bethel A. M. E. Church, Oak street. As he had declared that he was not married to the woman he left in St. Louis, he was not held by the New York authorities. Just what the motive was behind this last development, is not known, but it is thought that the mother of the girl is making an effort to separate the pair and have her daughter return to St Louis. The girl stated that she did not come from St Louis to New York with Martyn, as he thought best they should come separately. She said that she left home first, going to Chicago, where she remained nine days. Then Martyn sent her money and she came on to New York, where he joined her five days later. They have been at the 132d street house ever since. When Martyn first came to New York last fall he was given a cordial reception by the pastors of the various city churches, and he preached on a number of occasions to New York and Jersey City congregations.

ME CAMPAIGN-STA RESORT WAITERS GIVE TO WASHINGTON BANK TO WASHINGTON FUND Special to THE NEW YORK ACK. TUSKEGGE INSTITUTE Ala.—Among no class of citizens was the late Dr. Booker T. Washington more popular than among hotel waiters, Pullman porters and the members of the race whose work constitutes direct personal service to the public. When the news of Dr. Washington's death was published in the papers of the country, the Red Caps of Philadelphia and New York sent telegrams of condolences to the bereaved family and in other words signified their distress at the untimely passing of the great educator. It was, therefore, a source of great encouragement to those in charge of the campaign for the Boone T. Washington Memorial Fund that the officers and waiters of the Breaker Hotel at Palm Beach, Fla., should voluntarily form a committee hold a memorial service and take a collection for the memorial fund The members of the committee were L. T. Parker, J. B. Crossett and I. Wallace Jenkins, and the letter to Secretary Emmett J. Scott in charge of collecting the fund, said. "We are committed to the democratic meeting in honor of our democratic leader, Dr. Booker T. Washington, and send you herewith the sum of $18, covering the collection of the evening taken from the officers and the staff of the office, is a small amount, but we hope you will accept it in the spirit of love in which it is given towards the $250,000 which is to be raised for the people as part of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund." ZION MINISTER JOIINS Washington, D. C.—According to reports circulating in this city, the Rev. S. L. Corrothers, for many years prominent in the A. M. E. Zion Church, has severed his connection with that denomination and become a member of the Baptist Church. The report is that he was recently baptized into the membership of the 10th Street Baptist Church which congregation is at present without a pastor. The Rev. Mr Corrothers formerly pastored the Galbraith A M E. Zion Church in Washington, but was moved to Philadelphia where he took charge of the Varick Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church. Because of a disagreement he left this church, and now it is thought he will become pastor of the Baptist Church which it is alleged he has joined. Mrs. Corrothers, wife of the minister, died recently, and it is understood to be his desire to remain in Washington with the rest of his family Dr. Corrothers has been active in political matters and at the general conference of the A M E. Zion Church in 1912 he was a prominent candidate for the bishopric. JEW SAYS PYTHIANS OUGHT SHUN ST. LOUIS Special to The New York Ack. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Columbus, Ohio —A very prominent Jewish citizen here, when he read in the telegraphic news of the daily papers that St Louis had passed two segregation ordinances by a vote of more than thirty thousand to seventen thousand, remarked "The Colored Knights of Pathas who voted at their grand lodge meeting in this city last August to meet St Louis year after next, should now resound that action. They ought to say to the city of St Louis 'If your electors vote to segregate our race then we Lodge shall not holding our Supreme Lodge on your city, we will define to you to continue. Continuing, this Jewish citizen said, 'Why should a great colored organization go to a city to expend at least five hundred thousand dollars the week of its meeting when that city has insulted the race by passing an unjust, un-American and damnable anti-race ordinance. No other race if your race accepts it, would carry its funds to be emptied into the pockets of a city that adopts a segregation ordinance. If such an ordinance had been adopted to affect the Germans, Irish Italians or Jews they would have promptly boycotted the city adopting it. WANTED! in Greater New York.

Selma, Ala.—Responding to the appeal to the colored people of the country by the trustees of Tuskegee Institute through Secretary Emmett J. Scott to raise $250,000 on the two million dollar fund to perpetuate the memory of Booker T. Washington, founder and former principal of the famous school that will always bear his name, an enthusiastic mass meeting of the leading Negroes of Selma was held at the Talernacle Baptist Church, Minter avenue and Broad street, Dr D. V. Jemison, pastor, the purpose being to endorse the movement to raise the amount of the Memorial Fund, and to place Selma and Dallas County in "Group Three" and raise from $250 to $500 of the amount designated for the colored people to raise on the two million dollar fund. The mass meeting was called by the local Negro Business League, R. B Hudson, president, and J P. Bond, secretary, and it was attended by many of the leading Negroes of Selma, including Dr. L. L. Burwell, Dr. J. W. Moorer, Dr. C. S. Taylor, Dr. N. D. Walker, the Rev. J. A. Martin, pastor of Green Street Baptist Church; the Rev. D. V. Jemison, pastor Tabernacle Baptist Church; the Rev. A.

Bennett, Burrell Holley, the Rev. A. F Owens of Selma University, J P Bond, and others In keeping with the general appeal made to the colored people of the country the mass meeting assembled appointed pulity agents to carry the appeal to churches. Sunday Schools, secular schools, fraternal organizations, civic and social clubs, business firms, farmers and individuals and urge upon them to assist in raising the designated amount and thereby demonstrate their appreciation of the life and services of the great and lamented Booker T Washington, and to show their appreciation of the laudable efforts of the trustees of Tuskegee Institute to raise the two million dollar fund. The publicity agents, realizing that the appeal will test the patriotism and loyalty of the Negro race, will seek to kindle the fire of patriotism in the heart of every Negro in Dallas County and report the results of their mission at a mass meeting to be held at the Tahernacle Baptist Church on the fourth Sunday in March at 3 o'clock p. m. The Negro Business League of Selma is at the back of the movement and will seek through the publicity agents to reach every Negro man, woman and child in the county with the appeal to raise from $250 to $500. The plan will doubtless succeed WHITE REPUBLICAN SUES EDITOR FOR LIBEL Special to The New York Ac Special to The New York Age Aucuba, Ga. -- Alfred W.

EX-OFFICIAL FIGHTS FOR JUSTIFICATION Former Financial Secretary of Zion Connection Exonerated by Expert Auditors. CLAIMS THE CHURCH OWES HIM Letter from Firm of Auditors and Accountants Tells the Rev. Jackson that He had Accounted for all Moneys and that there was a Balance Due Him from Church-Bishops Make Official Announcement. Special to The New York Am. Birmingham, Ala. — Notwithstanding that the official announcement is made by the Board of Bishops of the A. M. E. Zion Connection that the former financial secretary, the Rev. J. S. Jackson, was short in his accounts to the amount of $9,112, which amount he was unable to pay, and was removed from office, the deposed secretary is making an effort to show that his skirts are clear and that instead of being short in his accounts the Connection is really in debt to him. Under date of February 28, the Rev. Mr. Jackson was furnished a letter by the firm of Lehmann & Melntosh, auditors, accountants and appraisers, which declares that an investigation of the accounts of the former secretary from May, 1912, to December 31, 1915, showed that the total amount of money received by him had been accounted for and that there is a balance due him from the Connection, as shown at the close of business on December 31.

The announcement says concerning the action taken To the Ministers and Members of the A M F Zion Church in America and Africa Greeting At the recent session of the Board of Bishops which was held in Montgomery, Ala.

J. S. Jackson was removed from office and Mr John C Dancy appointed as Acting Financial Secretary to fill out the unexpired term of the former Financial Secretary.

INGRAM & DAVIS IN CONTROL Large Meeting of Members of Order from All Over State Held in Savannah to Secure Control of Affairs. WANT OTHER RECEIVERS NAMED Not Satisfied to Have the Property and Assets of the Order Handled by the Old Officers, who are Under a Sentence of One Year's Suspension, by Order of the S.-C. of M-Policy Holders Organized. Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. Atlanta, Ga.—The Odd Fellows case, which was to be heard by Judge Bell on Saturday, March 4, was postponed to Saturday, March 11. It was called for hearing, but the postponement followed. This was the suit instituted by Dr. A. D. Jones, under which the old executive committee was named as temporary receivers by Judge W. D. Ellis. The result of this action was that B. S. Ingram and B. J. Davis were continued in control of the financial affairs of the District Grand Lodge. The Nine Men Selected. There were 281 lodges enrolled by the credential committee, and it was estimated that about 150 lodges were represented. Any Odd Fellow in possession of the password was admitted. The temporary organization effected named Dr. B W S Daniels of Savannah as chairman, R F. Sharrow of Atlanta as secretary, and J. D. Powell as assistant secretary. In setting forth the object of the meeting, A. Graves of Atlanta, recognized as one of the leaders in opposition to the Ingram-Davis regime, advised the lodges that endowment money should be sent to B. J. Davis, receiver, under the order of the court. This is necessary because the endowment bureau is chartered separately under Georgia laws, and the action of the court in naming Ingram, Davis et al receives takes the operation of the endowment bureau from under the jurisdiction of the Sub-Committee of Management for the time being. The nine men named for the executive committee to be presented to the Lufton County Court are, Dr. B W. S. Daniels and Walter Scott of Savannah, A Graves and R F. Sharrow of Atlanta, J C Styles of Dawson, the Rev. W Decker Johnson of Plains, Dr. J. C. Atkinson of Macon, J Q Elias of Sparta, and J M Puts of Brunswick. These names will be presented to the court when the case comes up on March 11 to be substituted in place of the old committee headed by Ingram and Davis, which is now serving. Organize Policy Holders' Association. In the meantime some indication of the plans which are being laid by the Ingram-Davis Section in preparation for adverse contingencies is shown in the fact that a meeting of policy holders in the endowment bureau has been held and a temporary organization effected. At this meeting the Policy Holders' Association was formed, with permanent officers, for the purpose, it was stated, of protecting the interests of the policy EAN eon HUE emo Mee AUS Ar ents MN Ne RIM Len eee tones Ree tea Fe Ta Er SPR LPS crc sesso prea osasryencaan TS Serge te aes es at Sons ae Te ere Re oe eee een ae tee REE RSS PRR RRR TA LSE MRD eye ce Sete cas gM an EI Bore, ee OEE eee SU eR ale aoa eae RACINE Rte fey See R ENE SEOIS SRE ONE HE TY se A ES ae * BAe Se Sek Snpere ee eS Re Ry Rete ts Puke ER Oh SRR oN web y . oe eR es i . . ‘tte NEW YORE AGE APHURSDAY, MARCH 9, 1916. 1 " ‘ eke ‘ oe A : Ree, bolders under the laws of Georgia + From the tenor of species at thts and other meetings at as contemplated that 2» far as the action of the S-C ot "M. 13 concerned the meinsers at the order in Georgia hobling pole ies i the endowment Fureau will conserve: ther Interests by wweoring the tater al ‘dy It was argued that the policies would be worth more te hone! caries than pos sesfion of the password) and that the sub-committee had te tmancial anters st in them and only hept halt ts contract in furnishing the password The tnal consensus scemedt ty be that it a seintra: tion must come, thes preterred the Got: poration and its property rnghty eather than the fraternal afhhation Addresses were made to the meeting by A.

It is noticed that no reference is made’to race or color in the rec- ommendation. TWO DIME FUNDS. Last week a monster entertain- ment was held at the Hippodrome to aid the Marjorie Sterrett Fund. A score or more of the best artists in New York gave their services to make the affair a success, and a large sum of money was realized. It will be remembered that Mar- Jorie Sterrett was the little white ‘York Tribune to a fund to ‘buy a battleship for Uncle Sam, Several weeks ago Russex Gis- SON, a little colored boy sent to THE Acz $1 to start a Dime Fund to go toward raising the required amount for the Booker T. Wasuincton Mamonrav. This $1 was one-half of a cash prize his father had given him for passing his mid-term ex- amination. Any comparison between the worthiness of these two funds will be in favor of the one started by the little colored boy. If a child- ‘ren’s fund to buy a battleship can stir up enthusiastic support, should Bot a shildren's fund to help endow ‘uskegee make an equally strong appeal to the colored people of this country. Let everybody, especially the chil- dren, respond to the appeal started by Russet. Ginson. Send your dimes to this office, and Tue AcE will publish each week the names of all contributors and the amounts. Let the dimes begin to come. * THE LESSON-&T SF. LOUIS. It seems .as if partisan politics is not an important factor nowa- days when the question of grant- ing the Negro all rights and priv- ileges to which he ‘is justly enti- ued put before the voters for consMeration. This fact was made apparent to Negroes throughout the country last week when ‘segregation won in St. Louis by a vote of 52,220 to 11,- 887. St. Louis is a Republican city and the colored voters are the bal- ante of power. They are respon- sible for the success of the G. O. P. at the polls.. And yet the Re- publican wards went strongly in favor of segregation. Here are a few facts worthy of respectful consideration : In Mayor Kiel's ward, the 15th, the: yee majority was 1,355. In Kie’a own precinct the vote was 101 te 21 fer segregation. John Schmoll, chairman of the Repub- licen” Clty “Cemmittes, fost his SAE the, 13th, “by a majority: of 3238. Schmoll’s precinct went 1 401, 193 to 19 for segregation. ‘The Fifth is a Democratic ward, composed of Jows, Negroes and foreigners. Stato Senator, Mike Kinney, in the Democratic commit- tooman. He delivered hie ward ayaiaet segregation, G16 yee to 84 nm The time will come when the VIEWS and REVIEWS A NEW ENGLAND VS. A TENNESSEE CONSCIENCE. The New Republic, a few weeks ago, published a letter from Massachusetts correspondent, in which the writer had something t jay about prejudice against the Negro in that state. The lette spoke for justice, but was far from being aggressive; in fact, it wa ather mild; nevertheless it brought a hot reply from a correspond ‘nt in Tennessee. ,, ‘ Simply as a study in the curious workings of the human min ander certain influences, we reproduce the two letters in full. Th ollowing is the letter from Massachusetts: Sir: In Bis article on “Isolating the Negro,” Mr. Wehle remarks that, while there is no legal discrimination in Massa- chusetts against the Negro, there exists as a matter of fact actual discrimination. Unfortunately this is true. But to my mind the saddest factor of the situation is that the discrimination applies to all Negroes. In.as much as we rightfully discriminate against illiterate and ill-bred whites, I see no reason why we should not also discriminate against the same type of Negro. But when a Negro endeavors to develop his character and to broaden his culture, and he receives from us frowns and dis- couraging hindrances, when his reward is not even equality of opportunity with the whites, then his case is pitiahle indeed. It has been with much interest and speculation that I have watched the vicissitudes of a fine Negro’s struggle I suppose * this chap possesses all the best instincts of the Caucasian, He seems to be the kind of man who is never satisfied with present attainments and ty whom success becomes but a step to a more distant goal. He entered Harvard Medical School with. the understanding that a hospital appointment was to be had after graduation. This appointment never materialized. Given such a Negro, educated, well-bred, intelligent, likeable, and possessed of the best characteristics of the best whites, there can be only one reason for ostracism. That is prejudice. And for anyone to suppose that the prejudice of Boston, Mass. is superior kind of prejudice to that of Boston, Ind., or of Boston, Cal, is to be so smugly mistaken as té be almost beyond enlight- enmen's cure. « . ‘eas wigan ok “Kneeaaienrbne Is it not difficult to see how any supposedly enlightened pers¢ ing under democratic institutions could take exceptions to t ove letter? It expresses only justice and humanity; yet, read tl lowing reply which it called forth from the gentleman from Te sste: gf . . Sur. «Afr. Walter C. Hunter, in the issue of February Sth seems to be troubled with an attack of ante-bellum New England « conscience. Are there still people that believe in the racial equality of the Negro? Would he be willing for a sister of his to marry a Negro, to be doctored by one? To a Southerner the idea is too repulsive for words. The Negro has always been ‘a servile race since the time of Noah's curse of servility on Ham. The highest civilization that they evervattained was in the Moors, and when they intermarried with the Spaniards they lost the best characteristics of both races. The same is true of the mulatto. No one denies that the position of the ambitious Negro is a pitiful one, but are we willing to lower the staridard of the white Face so as to raise the Negro? It has been demonstrated that -- . ~the fusion of the two races-gentrally produces a sort of monfgrel conglomeration. What we want to strive for is more race purity, instead of lettirig down the bars. If the New Republic that you are trying to build is one of mulattoes, I suppose that you will not publish this letter. + JNO. MARSHALL EWING. Crescent View, Tennessee. Now Mr. Ewing's letter is such a display of ignorance and the prejudice begotten of ignorance that, of itself, it deserves no atten- tion. But we take it up because the igngrance which it displays is widely spread, not only over Tennessee, but many other states. There are lots of people with minds as small and mean and dark as Mr. Ewing's who hold the same kind of views. And, too, there are lots of people with soft, spongy minds that sop up just this sort of rot. Therefore we feel that such letters and their writers should always be shown up. We say they should be “shown up” because “showing up” is the only method of dealing with those who try to palm off a mass of absurd irrelevancies for argument. Let us be charitable enough to pass over any comparison be- tween the New England conscience and the Tennessee conscience as exemplified in Mr. Ewing. Let us take up the first two questions with which he, no doubt to his own satisfaction, counfounds and com- petély routs Mr. Hunter. He asks “Are there any people that still believe in the racial equality of the Negro? Would he be willing for a-sisser of his to marry a Negro or be doctored by one?” Now, fegardless of anybody's belief ‘in the matter, what has the racial equality or inequality of the Negro got to do with giving him a fair Marbichead, Mass Negro will -discriminately wield his ballot on all local questions, as do other races. He will learn to vote for his friends—be they: Re- publicans or Deimocrats, and vote against his enemies—be they Re- publicans or ‘Democrats. A few janitorships and other minor jobs should be spurned as a bid for the Negro vote. He should begin to put the Negro first and look after his own interests. HARLEM SUBWAY- STATION Several times the uncivility of the subway attendants at the 135th strect and Lenox avenue station to- ward colored people has been called to our attention. On one occasion a respectable young colored woman asked for two tickets; the man at the window evidently’ did not un- derstand hor and gave her only one. When she asked again for the other ticket, he wanted to know with an oath why she had not asked for it at first, One of Harlem's promi- nent colored business men was just behind the girl, and he took the matter up with the ticket seller, who handed out some more pro- fanity, and didn't stop until the colored man threatened to report him. On another occasion, while passengers, all colored, were still entering the car, the guard with an oath urged them to hurry, and be- gan closing the door. One woman was caught and had difficulty in squeezing into the car. Of course, nobody expects polite- ness from subway employces; they are impolite and discourteous at all times and at all stations, but we do not believe they dare go so far as to use profanity to passengers, except at 135th strect, where they, per- haps think they can get away with it. In this,showever, they are mis- taken. They won't be allowed to get away with it. THe Ace will take it upon itself to report this matter to the proper authorities, What the subway people should really do is to place colored em- ployees entirely in charge of the 135th street station. THE WILL IN WILSON. No matter how much Demo- cratic “‘statesmen™ may froth at the mouth when they sptak of Roase- velt and Root, they “must concede the fact that it is the sayings of these two men which, more than anything else, put .the will in Wil- son—Evening: Sun, m.race of life? If a Negro is inferior, he simply won’ land can’t Wik.. -If he is equal and wins, he deserves his chance and lhis victory,’ That is all’Mr. Hunter pleads for in his letter. We woniler if Mr. Ewing would be willing to Jook down in his sub-conscious mind and see why he is opposed to giving “inferior men” an equal chance? Would he hesitate about unnite a race with a one-legged man? If the Negro.is so distinctly infefior, what possible harm can there be in giving him a chance to show what he can do? ‘If Mr. Ewing will examine himself he will find that he possesses more than a suspicion that the Negro, if given a fair chance, will run a good race; if he is frank with himself, he will confess that he is possesed with a fear that the Negro, if given a fair chance, will win. In a word, Mr. Ewing's stingy little soul is filled with fear, nothing more or less than plain, panicky fear. - His.second question is less relevant than his first. Grant that he would be unwilling for bis sister to marry a Negro, what has that to do with treating Negroes in general with justice? He must know lots of white men to whom he would object as brothers-in-law, but surely he would not advocate that they be denied any of the common rights of men and citizens on that account. And, furthermore, Ne- lgroes could not go around marrying “sisters,” unless the “sisters” were willing. Indeed, the “sisters” would have to be more willing than the Negroes. This “sister” question is an old one; it was used to try to stump Lincoln. The posers of it feel that it completely establishes the Negro’ inferiority. They also feel that it places them in the posi- tion of chivalric protectors of white womanhood. Their skulls must be too thick and their senses too blunt to realize that, according to! their very own theories, the asking of such a question amount to an insult, How ean they be so stupid in their zeal to prove the Negro's, inferiority as to unwittingly imply that just treatment of him would result in white women rushing into the arms of colored husbands? This is exactly, what Mr. Ewing's letter implies, especially the last paragraph. Let us also pass over the fable about Noah and Ham; it is too silly to be advanced or admitted as an argument in this day and time. As to the Moors: if our friend from Tennessee knows as little about everything else as. he knows about the Moors, we pity them. His patronizing words about the civilization of the Moors in Spain incline us to sympathize with him in his ignorance. Let us quote tor his information the following paragraph from the Everyman Encyclopedia: “Moors in Spain, a composite African race, who, invited by the Church party to assist in the suppression of the Visogothic aristoc- racy, invaded the whole peninsula (710), and became the dominant power until the j1th century. Cordova was the center of the Sara- cen dominion after 755, when its university, famous in Roman days, revived. These Arab invaders, though luxurious in their mode of life, were a highly cultivated race, and in the study of mathematics, science, and philosophy, eclipsed all other European races. Through the Moors the culture and civilization of the ancients was chiefly preserved, and transmitted to the modern world.” Mr. Ewing’s statement, “It has been demonstrated that the fusion of the two races generally produces a sort of mongrel con- glomeration”-is untrue; for he uses the word “mongrel” to indicate a degenerate produtt. Nothing of the kind has been demonstrated. Qur amateur biologist need not know that this fusion produced a Puskin in Russia, a Dumas, father and son, in France, a Frederick Douglas and a Booker T. Washington in the United States: let him take a look around him in Tennessee. What Mr. Ewing needs to do is to inquire seriously and deeply into his soul, and try and find out just why he wrote such a letter. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY To the Editor of The Age: The writer 1s longing for a medium by which the Negroes of this country can be stimulated to the importance of read- ing Negro newspapers, magazines, books and other periodicals. Through these channels knowledge 1s diffused to. the masses that cannot be diffused to them through any other channel Hlere 1s missionary work for Negroes who have formed the habit of reading Negro Iter- Ature *We have in this country a common enemy to combiat—race prejudice. Our efforts to combat this foe need guidance by a wise, discreet and level-headed gen- etal. We had one in the person of our late lamented leader, Dr, Rooker T Washington, That great leader foucht our battle hefore the bar of public senti- ment up to the hour of his death. Ile not only pled for our cause but taught us at the same time how to demean our- selves so as to win sympathy from the dominant race among which we live and serve, ‘The Negro who succeeds the late Dr Washington, not particularly as head of the great school established by him, but a leader whose counsel will prove up- Infting to the masses, canmot reach the masces verbally, but must rely upon the medium of the Negro press to diffuse the-council and instructions he sends ont. T have now reached the mille in the cocoanut, There are to-day nearly twelve million Negroes in this country, and the writer feels safe in saying that not two. per cent of that twee million of Ne- aroes read Negro newspapers. In order that this point may be well understood by the reader, the writer, will put it plainer: Not two Negroes in every one hundred read Negto newspapers. Now. then, how can a safe leader diffuse knowledge among twelve million of Ne- groes through the medium of the press. HE only two in every one hundred Ne- sRrocs read a Negro newspaper? This ‘is a question that should concern every Negro in this country, because we need a sane leader to direct us in our battle against our common enemy—race prej- udice, We must. pull together if we ever hope to succeed as a race, Every race has succeeded through a sane feader: and that leader reached his peor ple through the medium of the press Te LE Mccoy.

The present controversy over holding the Willard- Moran boat in New York 1s 2 case in point. > Although deep down in their hearts many sporting writers know the Willard Moran bout 1s bound to be a fiasco, as both are second-rate men who easily could be defeated in a fair fight by four or more colored pugilists, they are work- ing overtume on their typewriters in their heroic endeavor to. manufacture interest extraordinary in the coming “event.” In view of the fact no display ads are being inertéd a the daily papers regarding the proposed bout, and taking into consideration that printer's ink has gone up fifty per cent. since the war and the price of paper takes the skyward course a la Zeppelin each day, «these moulders of public opimon ought to be awarded iron medals by the promoters of the fight for their unselfish devotion and loyalty to so “worthy” a cause.
