THE New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. :: :: VOL. XXIX No. 31 THE SAVIOUR'S RESURRECTION Fittingly Commemorated by all of the Churches in Greater New York UNUSUAL MUSICAL PROGRAMS Handel's "Messiah" sung by Choir of St. Marks M. E. Church—St. David's Choir sang "Choir Triumphant" by Clough-Leighter SERMONS BY THE PASTORS Churches were Beautifully Decorated, with the Sweet Song of Birds adding itself to the Joyous Worship in Many Places - Weather was Variable and Unsettled throughout the Day. Memories of Easter, 1915, with a ten inches of snow, began to be revived in the minds of New Yorkers when a New Jersey astrologer made a prediction that Easter this year would be marked with either a snowstorm or heavy rain, with an attentive cold wave. This prediction seemed to be verified, too, when Saturday ushered in a cold, chilly rain, and folks began to hunt for heavy woollens and overcoats. But Easter Sunday morning was not so disagreeable after all. There was uncertainty as to what the sun would do, but he made a brave effort to drive away the clouds and give the gorgeous Easter costumes a chance. Old Sol was not altogether successful, but at least it was possible for folks to venture out and avoid the possibility of pneumonia and gripe. As a consequence the churches were swell attended, and the fashion parades were viewed by thousands. Churches of all denominations: held special Easter services, and all the ministers preached sermons touching upon the Resurrection of Christ. Elaborate musical programs were rendered, many of the choirs being augmented for the spee services. Oratorios, cantatas, chora, numbers, anthems, solos and orchestral numbers were given to the choirs who added the sweet chipping of birds in bright cages which were used in many of the edifices as a part of the decorative plan. N. Y CHURCH SERVICES "The Resurrection Message" was the subject of the great Easter sermon delivered by Dr. W. H. Brooks at the morning service. Toxt. Matthew 28:10. The akar was a as garden of beautiful flowers and fragrance. Very, prominent was an immense cultivated-daisy—a first prize plant at one of the recent flower shows of the city, which was presented to the akar. The choir, under E. Aldana Jackson, chormaster and Organist, had prepared an elaborate program for morning and evening services. The choir, under E. Aldana Jackson, soprano, was the soloist, rendering "Resurrection" by Harry Rowe Shelley. The offerty anthem was "Now the Sabbath is here," and Idea-Taylor the evening service, the choir rendered excerpts from Parts I. II. and III of Handel's Messiah, with Miss Brown, Chas. H. Waters, tenor, and George Tanner, bass solos, with Spiny Tanner, basses, each in white, adding charm to the scene. At the Epworth League, Mrs Lucy Johnson presented the program which was excellent and appreciated by the choir. At the League choir, under Mme. Virgian Scott, contributed largely to the success. A truly inspirational program was given by the Sunday School, conducted by Ms. Virginia assisted by the teachers and officers. The pastor, Dr. Brooks, will preach at both services next Sunday.

SOUTHERN LEAGUE BALL DRAWS BIG ATTENDANCE The annual Easter ball and entertainment of the Southern Benecial League, held Monday evening at Manhattan Casino, was one of the most successful, if not the most successful, given in the history of this well-known organization. Manhattan Casino was "packed and jammed" with members of the league and there may few and then large groups found difficult, so crowded was the space set aside for indulging in the light fantastic. GOV. WHITMAN T FOR MEMORI Will Deliver Address tan Casino, Th Evening, May The April showers only had a tendency of having the same effect on local amusement lovers as on spring flowers—bring them out better and prettier—the reference to pretty of course being meant for members of the gentler sex present, who looked most charming in their Easter gowns "Tom" Grigsby, the most popular president the Southern Beneficial League ever had (and it has had some very popular presidents), was all in smiles, which were no broader than those of Chief Lee and Robert R. Ladson, who often wore a hat and wore the larger badge. John Hadwin and Granville O. Paris were the first to meet and greet you as you entered, and were always pleased to furnish you with a ticket—for a consideration. Hillary Hebron, always with an eye to business, found time to say "Howdy," and Dannie Agard was at his best for affability J. Srinivas, Sr. was all over the hall and "Tony" McGarthy was, as usual, dressed for the occasion. A vaudeville program was furnished earlier in the evening, Hodges & Launchmere, Susie Sutton, Burns & Burns, Ed Peat and Owlsley & McKiprick taken part. The dancers enjoyed themselves until the wee small hours, for after 1 o'clock well-wishers of the league were still wending their way to Manhattan Casino in goodly numbers in quest of a good time. DEACON JOHNSON IN PHILADELPHIA Deacon Johnson, president and manager of the Cef Club, is at the head of a Cef Club quartet which furnishes in-tertainment to vocal music of the Bellevue-Stratton Hotel, Philadelphia, one of the largest and finest hotels in the country. The quartet is composed of Millard Jackson, first tenor, guitar and drums; William (Kid) Cole, second tenor; William (Kid) Cole, second tenor; Arthur (Smith) Leah, first base; bandolin; Arthur (Strut) Payne, second bass, cello. The Cefl Club musicians formerly played at this hotel for two seasons of eight months cachir but for the past two years the hotel managed to hire a new musician. The work of the Ceflefs set a standard that other musicians could not measure up to, so after two parts Peason Johnson and his musicians are again called on. The quartet opened its engagement on February 16, and the season will close the first week in June. Deacon Johnson spends Sundays and Mondays in New York loking after the club, returning to Philadelphia in time for the Monday evening performance N. C!

GOV.WHITMAN TO SPEAK FOR MEMORIAL FUND Will Deliver Address at Manhattan Casino, Thursday Evening, May 25 A BIG BAZAAR IS PLANNED Enthusiastic Mass Meeting held Tuesday Evening at Abyssinian Baptist Church—Speakera Urge Members of Race to Subcribe to Fund Gov. Whitman has consented to deliver the principal address Thursday evening, May 25, at the Manhattan Casino, when the two days' bazaar given under the auspices of the Booker T. Washington Memorial Fund Committee of Greater New York, will be formally opened. The occasion promises to be a gala one in many respects. Shortly before Gov. Whitman speaks the Clet Club Orchestra, under the direction of Frederick M. Bryan, will render several selections. The bazaar, which will be staged on a large scale, will be one of the features of the campaign now being conducted to raise $10,000 among the colored citizens of Greater New York for the memorial fund. It will be held on Thursday, May 25 and Friday, May 26. Arrangements are being made to give the colored business men and women of this city an opportunity to show the public what the race is doing in business along various lines, and some of the exhibits will be above the ordinary. Many well known Negroes doing business in Harlem have already signified intention of actively participating in the hazaar and big mass meetings to create additional interest in the local campaign was held Tuesday evening at the Myssman Baptist Church, and a good-sized audience was in attendance. Inspiring addresses were made by Dr. W. H. Brooks, Dr. York Russell, Dr. A Clayton Powell and the Hon. Fred R. Moore, who urged members of the church and the Negro in a favorable light before the world. The speakers, who were enthusiastically applauded, told their auditors the issue was not whether they personally liked Booker T. Washington or his teachings, but that the race was on trial and failure to subseribe the amount called upon, in view of the large amount already subscriber people for a local institution would favorably to the colored people as a whole. Many pledges were made to subscribe $1 or more to the fund by June 1. The meeting was presided over by Dr. A. Clayton Powell, chairman of the local General Committee. The vocal selectors furnished by the choral of St Mark's T. Church, under the direction of Dr. William Jackson, were enjoyed by all. The second big mass meeting will be held in Brooklyn at the Concord Baptist Church, Thursday, May 4. Sunday the members of the Women's Committee will visit the local Sunday schools and ask the children to have their pennies for Booker T. Washington Day, which will be observed the last Sunday in May. GREGORY MEMORIAL AT BORDENTOWN SCHOOL (Special to The New York Anz.) Board of Navwyn, N., memorial exercises in the lake of the lake, Monroe Gregory, founder and first president of the Manual Training and Industrial School for Colored Youth, were held at that school on Friday, afternoon, April 21, with former Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen, president of the State Board of Education, presiding. A large audience, representing all classes of the city council, assembled for the memorial, and, an appropriate program was rendered, Col. D. Stewart Craven of Salem, chairman of the Bordentown school committee, delivered an address, as did George A., Douglass of Newark, Chris, J. Perry of Philadelphia, Wm. F. Powell of Camden, Alain Leroy Locke of Howard University, Bishop L. J. Coppin of Philadelphia, Bishop L. J. Coppin of Philadelphia, Col. T. D. Landon and Reinhard R. Aitsize portrait of Prof. Gregory was presented by the family to the school, Dr. W. A. Sinclair of Philadelphia, making the presentation 'Musical numbers were given by the choir and the Girls' Glee Club. He was dean of the faculty for a number of years and labored faithfully for Hormack until ceded to the Bordenon School in 1888. He was regarded as the foremost advocate and representative of the higher education of the Negro. He founded the American Board of Youth, an organization which exerted wide influence, to the educational benefit of the race. He was the president for eight years. He stood for the position of the foremost educator known as the Freedman's Add Society. He was the intimate and trusted friend of Frederick Douglass, who the Supreme Court declared the Civil Rights Bill unconstitutional. he presided at that memorable meeting held at Washington Superintendent's office and desking to perpetuate his services to this institution, have appointed this day, and time to pay a fee. We do this out of respect and in recognition of the services of a man whose characteristics formed a high type of citizenship to walk and live in the race, of which, he was not the least. His name stands with that of Booker T. Washington and Frederick Douglass. Believing as he did that the elevation of his race depended upon his educational advantages, he did his best in his day and generation by his work to promote it and by his life to show to an example of right and noble living. Married to a woman of estimable character who labored with him faithfully, equally to her the State to-day and of his life in managing this institution; exemplified for many years in the training of their spiellab and worthy children; in the legal and other educational institutions who are now doing their part in the world's work, who, together with the daughter, the wife of the principal of a school, will be the tradition of their father in a manner that commits the admiration of all. I feel it a particular honor to be called upon to-day to preside at this institution, and his services are an inspiration to those of us who have charge of this institution. He laid the foundation and by his early work blazed the trail of wider and more useful activities for this school. In its broader scope—in its new policy of giving universally to all colored young men and women of New York—he industrial branches an opportunity for a useful education, an opportunity to make this institution for the colored people. Through his life—his example and offers, those who follow will find an inspiration that will encourage them to work for greater efficiency in the future of the downtown Industrial and Manual Training School. We, therefore, to-day honor the Woman of the Year, the woman who make public mention of his work as a faithful servant and worker for the interests and welfare of the State of New York. OKLAHOMA TRIES TO EVADE LETTER OF LAW Republicans and Socialists denounce Democratic Legislation- to be submitted to Voters of the State at Primary Election in August—Use Literacy Test (Special to The New York Age.) Oklahoma City, Okla.—Harlow's Weekly has published a symposium, dealing with the recent legislation in this State relating to the suffrage question, which so vitally affects the citizenship rights of the Negro. The first article, by State Senator Barret, sets forth the Democratic side of the argument, and in it the writer seeks to justify the regulation of registration by precinct registrars responsible only to the party appointing them, and a literacy test, that exempts, "apy person who served in any of the wars of the United States, or the wars of any foreign nation and all lawful descendants of such persons." This is the so-called substitute for the grandfather clause, which was declared unconstitutional by the United States Supreme Court. Arthur H. Geissler, for the Republicans, and Patrick S. Nagle, for the Socialists, oppose this legislation as despotic and intended to disfranchise Republicans and Socialists. Mr. Harlow, the editor of the Weekly, is considered one of the most liberal Democrats in the State, which is confirmed by the fact that the concluding article is furnished by Roscoe Dunjach; editor of the Black Dispatch. The reason for this, last article is stated by the editor of Harlow's Weekly as follows: Beyond a doubt the Negro in Oklahoma men in this State are subject race. White men in this State are subject race. Participation in government as an outrage upon them perpetrated a half century ago by a Pennsylvania fanatic, who was also avoided as far as the Constitution and laws will permit. This is a racial feeling, shared by Democrats and Republicans, but by a probability continue to be the controlling factor in any approach to the question of Negro suffrage in Oklahoma men who would attempt to reference to the soundness of this man who would attempt to govern 130,000 people without any interest in the Negro suffrage; too, the intelligent men of all parties be interested in knowing just how the intelligent Negro looks at the matter. In view, the article by Roscoe Dunjach in Oklahoma City should prove of value. Dungee is a Negro of property and or wide information, both secured by own efforts. He conducts a printing business, and is looked upon by people of his own and of the white race as a high type of Negro citizen. It can safely be assumed that the black man's problem of the problem is as well stated here as it is likely to be stated by anyone in Oklahoma. Editor Dungee's statement of, "the Negro's View" is pitched in a temperate key, and should command a respectful hearing on all sides. We quote from it as follows. Let us agree that citizenship is an achievement and that the right of suffrage is a sacred privilege that should be recorded only to a responsible, honest electorate. I am willing for my people to meet such an impartial test. It is true that in certain sections of the Solih, known as the "black holt," Norcross have not made as rapid proclamation since this legislative can only legislate for the citizens of Oklahoma. I am roking to offer some statistics showing what the black man has done in the wealth. I am going to show you the responsible position he has reached in morals, material wealth and intelligence. In fact, these figures will show why in this State to less than that of the white man, that almost 90 per cent of them live clean, moral lives, and have the vast property holdings of the black man in a heavy and responsible taxpayer. We own in the State of Oklahoma 10,018 homes, having an assessed valuation of $40,149,728 (see page 29.1). We have a $23,043,582 of this property has been acquired since 1900 and this latter amount must be credited in full to the earning power of black men and not to government tender of the State of Oklahoma. We own in the State of Oklahoma, 100,630, or 75 per cent, may be found in productive labor upon the farm (see page 59, Bulletin 129 Department of Consum. We have reported that the 1915 per cent, per cent, per cent, during the years that the "affair other clause" was effective, which status demanded that we should read and write (see page 28, Bulletin 129 Department of Consum. We have reported that in this State are engaged in painful occupations; that should forever disprove the idea that we are idlers and lacking in industry (see page 35, Bulletin 129). Yes, we observe that this may all Yes, says the observer, this may all be true, but there is a portion of your vote that is venal, there is an adhesiveness about it that denotes its unintelligence. You are not, continues the critic, sufficiently advanced in the science of government to fully appreciate the responsible function of suffrage. There is no question but what the black man goes to the ballot box with a larger burden of conscientious purity. He is not a man behind the curtain in the polling place his head throats and his breath comes quickly, for he is thinking now of liberty, home and opportunity. He realizes his restless need to be connected with a hope that he may now cut a rift in the clouds so dark about him. Can you imagine such a man inclining his ear to the clink of filthy dollars? Is it not a man who has no purpose is the cause for a desire for his political elimination? One thing is certain: we should do away with protone. It is wrong on one hand, but it is right on one way, but operates the other. The black man ought to be a full-fledged otter with none. We are ready to winkle meet any rightful test impartially administered. LOAN & REALTY CO.

TWO DELEGATES FROM NEW JERSEY (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) VATICAN CITY, N. J.-In the Presidential primaries, held April 25, the surprise in the voting in the city was the probable election of two Negroes, James A. Lightfoot, a lawyer, and W. F. Robert, a head winter, to the National Court of the District from the Second district over County Clerk Harry L. Knight of Burlington County and Richard M. Moore, a Bridgeton glass manufacturer. The heavy vote was due to the efforts of Mayor William Riddle in a battle with City Commissioner Harry Bacharach and his brother, Congressman Isaac Bacharach. Out of twenty-five precincts in the city the Negroes carried twenty-one. The other sections of the district will like show their defeat.

PREPARE TEMPO CLUB MAY 2ND MANHATTAN CASINO GENERAL ADMISSION 50 CENTS Tickets ON SALE - TEMPO CLUB 119 West 136 St - PHONE AUDUBON 441 The Colored Saloon Keeper has not only to conform to move Stringent Conditions, but has to meet with Peculiar Conditions Every Wholesale Liquor Store in Harlem is controlled by White Men, some or Whom also Control or Own Saloon. Prosperous "Barrel House" located in Property Owned by Negro, Church A consideration of the liquor problem as it is in evidence in Harlem presents many peculiar phases. It really has two aspects, the one being that side of the business controlled by the white saloonkeeper, and the other that side controlled by the Negro saloonkeeper. On the surface it appears that the powers that be have formulated two sets of conditions, these conditions being controlled by the racial affinity of the person to be regulated. In the territory bounded by Fifth avenue on the east, 130th street on the south, Seventh avenue on the west, and 140th street on the north, there are 57 liquor places conducted by white men. Some of these are wholesale places. In the vernacular, they are known as "barrel houses." The distilled liquors are kept in barrels as a rule, and customers are supplied direct from the barrel. There are these white saloonkeeper and liquor conduct also a retail business, and at least, is conducting a downstairs cabaret. This place is situated away from a street upon the stairway being covered when not in use by a trap door in the floor. Breweries Control Trade. Brewery Control Trade Thirty-one saloons are conducted for retail trade in addition to "barrel houses." The retail saloons of Harlem are supplied from these wholesale places, with few exceptions. In some instances retail saloons are either owned or controlled by men conducting the "barrel houses." Even the saloons conducted by colored men, there being about eleven of them, must purchase their supplies from these wholesale places. The malt liquor is bought from porter, etc. are supplied by the brewery with which the saloon is allied. That is, each saloonman forms connection with a particular brewery. In some cases the brewery pays for the liquor license; in others, it furnishes the fixtures. In either case, the salooman is bound to use only the malt liquors of that particular brewery. The saloons conducted by colored men, not one has a wholesale department. Of the twenty-six wholesale liquor stores in the territory, not one is conducted by a colored man. Not one of the saloons conducted by colored men is located near the center of population congestion on Lenox avenue, save that is some distance west of the avenue and three miles north of the center. The saloons located on Lenox avenue are in the extreme northern section of the territory, while others are on Seventh avenue. Of the patronage accorded the saloons frequent part of it that the major part of it comes from Negro men and women. The trade secured from the women goes to the "barrel house" or wholesale place most largely, though every saloon in the territory under consideration has its "back room" to which access is given through the door. The bar room is possible for women to go whether they have an escort or not. The law forbids a woman frequently the public bar, but the back room is easy of access, affords, in most cases, a clear view of the barroom, and electric hells are placed conveniently at hand that an attendant may see you as you leave the house. Your patron whatever her drink appetite might be craving for. Fully 95 per cent. of the whiskey trade in the territory named is furnished by the Negro drinkers. And the fact remains that the business is absolutely controlled by the white whiskey dealers. This is true, notwithstanding that there are eleven colored men conducting saloons, because they must go to the white man who is seated in the house. The white male liquor store for their liquors and to the white man running the brewery for their beers, ales, etc. Whiskey Sold in Church Property. Whiskey Soil in Church Property. and one that does a large per cent of the business in its neighborhood, is located in property on a Negro church. The religious church—a Negro church. As a matter of plain business the church corporation may not be open to criticism for renting its property to a wholesale whiskey dealer, but the question was asked. If the store must be rented for that purpose, why not rent it to a Negro whiskey dealer? - And if there are no Negro whiskey dealers, why does not the corporation make even more profit by conducting the business itself? These questions, it appears, have not been answered. It is to the possibility of making the business pay, the eleven Negro saloonmen, pooling their purchases, would give a paying foundation for the business, and to this many the home trade which is owned by all of the "barrel houses" now doing business. It goes without saying that a wholesale liquor house, located in the store owned by the Negro religious corporation, would receive a large proportion of the trade in its immediate neighborhood. And of course as a matter of loyalty, members of the corporation—that is, those who induce in vino their full malt liquor—would go out their way to purchase from that owner the owner of which pays liberal sums into the corporation's treasury.

Owing to the reasons that kept the children from the gatherings, the Shettering Arms colored Association of Bergen County reserved one of the best of the benefit of the children of the community, which was given last Thursday, when an interesting program was rendered by the children.

Turner had suctionly recovered Sunday morning to fill his pulpit mornings and evening. The banquet ceremony was a part of the morning service and Lizzie Billings and Sarah Dark were baptized. The Easter Difference in Saloon Conditions. Another thing which arouses thought is the declaration by the colored saloonmen that conditions for them are different from conditions applying to the white saloonmen. Investigation shows that this is true to the extent, and that even the white saloonkeepers are not pursuing the same methods. For instance, the outside doors close at 1 o'clock a.m., but it is possible to gain entrance to the back rooms at any hour. In some of the saloons the back room is accessible to the women until 1 o'clock, when the outside doors are closed. But 1 o'clock no women are here. This may apply to the one corner, while across the street another saloon will give free access to women at any hour of the night, whether she is alone or escorted. Another saloon will not admit women to the back room on Sunday, but just across the street another saloon will give them ample welcome. The charge has been made that the colored saloonkeeper is guilty of constant violation of every law. An instant investigation shows that the charge is not true. There may be minor infractions laid at his door, but the restrictions and requirements laid upon him before he can secure the privilege of doing business makes it a dangerous proposition for him to fail to observe the legal requirements, outwardly at least. And it does not appear in the Harley Davidson the Negro is given anything like the leeway allowed the white saloonkeeper, who is making his money from the Negro trade, and who seems to object strenuously to any encroachment upon that rich preserve by the Negro himself. ISAAC COLES WANTS PROPERTY RIGHTS JERSEY CITY, N. J.—Mrs. Isaac Howard Coles, 1 ingersoll place, has been trying to secure a co-executor of Roland V. D. Coles, a co-executor of the estate of Mrs. Hannah Coles, his mother, his brother, Isaac H. Coles, being the other executor. It is claimed by Mrs. Isaac Coles that her husband was not consulted by his brother but that Roland insured the entire administration of the estate, giving him the information concerning the business. The property in question is located at 23 Oak street, including Jots at Nos. 19 and 21. Under the will of Mrs. Hannah Coles, Isaac and Roland Coles were devised a life interest in the property, and three years later, the will of Isaac and Roland Coles, were named. Pierce declined to serve, and Isaac Coles, it is claimed, was feeble-minded, so the management of the estate was taken over by the management of Mrs. Isaac Coles. Mr. and Mrs. Isaac Coles, it appears, occupied a floor in the home at 23 Oak street, for which they paid rent to Mrs. Hannah Coles during her lifetime, and after her death, the payments were made to Mrs. Hannah L. Record, their legal adviser. Mr. Record in turn paid over the money, $16 each month; to Louis Garrick, attorney for Roland Coles. It is stated by Mrs. Isaac Coles that a mortgage for $2,400 was placed on the property, the mortgage being held by the bank. The mortgage may be to be repaid at the rate of $10 per month. That notwithstanding that the rent, $16, paid each month by the Isaac Coles was more than sufficient to meet this installment on the mortgage, the payments were not kept up, and in consequence the mortgage was foreclosed by the bank. Of this action, the Isaac Coles were cited from the house on April 29, 1915, by the sheriff. It is alleged by Isaac Coles that his brother, Roland, has failed and refused to render any accounting of the resources of the estate, and he has been trying vainly for several years to secure from Roland some satisfaction concerning that he has paid fees to lawyers who would drop the case, for unexplained reasons, without accomplishing anything, and that attempts to secure an accounting through the surrogate's office have been further alleged by Isaac that for two years and three months, after the death of Mrs. Hannah Coles, he paid rent, $16 each month, but that when he failed to secure an accounting from his brother and in consequence stopped paying the rent, the mortgage was immediately foreclosed. He also alleged that the income from the property should aggregate at least $46 per month, and that this amount was more than sufficient to pay the installments on the mortgage and take care of other expenses as well. That this has not been sufficient to pay the installments made by Isaac Coles to secure through the courts an accounting from his brother, Roland. The estate is valued at from $4,000 to $6,000. N. A.

J.—That many of Newark's colored business men have awakened to the fact that there is strength in centralization and union of forces is demonstrated in the new business center and in fact the first real effort of creating a business zone in which one can find most every branch of business conducted in the fact that so far as Newark Negroes are concerned, little has been done in the direction of establishing in the past racial enterprises, they have been content to let Jews and Italians do the business and they, by their trade, enrich their copper. But it is a gratifying sign that the lack of effort on the part of few venturers to embark on the commercial sea and the establishments of a number of enterprises in a given zone. Within the radius of those blocks on bank street, bounded on the west by Norfolk street and on the east by Sumter business houses, the following business houses which are being successfully conducted by men who are putting forth heroic efforts to meet the competitions of other enterprises not identified with the race, but which have enjoyed almost the entire trade of Negroes. Mrs. Theatington, an estate business, is forging to the front and enjoys not only the confidence of her own people, but by her strict business integrity and punctuality has gained such recognition from white property owners that she has now inserted on her rental role much property, and is doing much to solve the housing problem of colored people here in Newark." In the same building with Mrs Wheatington can be found the Keystone Aid Society, who by their promptness in paying sick, accident and death claims are making a bid for a goodly portion of this kind of business on the City Lake, NA. The fees below be found Mme, Caroe Coco's Beauty Shop, which is perhaps the best equipped in the city or state. Here every phase of her line is marked out by professional artists. G. Bower, as an expressman, can be reheled upon to all orders promptly and on the shortest notice. James E. Churchman, undertaker, maintains a branch of his orange business in this same block, while Browne, as a street, enjoys the distinction of being Newark's leading undertaker. Mr Brown is an active member of most secret societies of the city, including K. of P. Masons, Elks and Odd Fellows; is congenial and obliging, and with his able assistant, A. L. Wright, is constantly on the go. He is also congenial to the Chairman, all of which has endeared him to Newark's as a family undertaker. At the corner of Bank and Wilsey streets, Smith Carter has filled a long felt want in the establishment of a bank. He has secured any kind of a meal wanted and be satisfied. These few places mentioned might seem small, but they mean much to Newark, which has so long shadowed by a long lethalical sleep. John Edward West, notwithstanding conceited opposition by a large element of Newark's business men and women, is still pushing his plan to create or establish in Newark a center for the study of the sand that because of the presence of a most efficient city institution, where all citizens are generally treated alike, that there are "other needed institutions lacking and that the establishing of such an institution would be of more material benefit to the community," he mentions of Mr. West and his supporters state that the fact that physicians and nurses of color are not permitted to practice in the white hospitals are sufficient evidences that Newark needs a Negro hospital. The third great event looking to the raising of a center for the enterprise is announced for May 30. Each will take the form of a large mass meeting. On Monday afternoon at Bethany Baptist Church, the installing of officers and reading of a constitution for what is to be known as the Samaritans' Orphanage of New Jersey took place. For many months Mrs. Manir took care of the children of the children and at 252 River Road has taken care of them as best she could. So well has she succeeded that the ministers and laymen have organized ```markdown ``` 朵, removes Dandruff, feeds the Roots of the hair, and makes it grow long, soft and well.

The Age is greatly gratified at the many commendations it has received upon the investigation of colored business conditions which it recently made. Many facts and figures of importance were brought out and given to our readers in interesting form. We are led to believe that the investigation will have results of practical benefit. One of the long-standing drawbacks to successful business enterprises among us has been a sort of misunderstanding between colored merchants and the race at large. Our merchants have complained that the race doesn't give them a fair trial; and the race has often claimed that our merchants do not extend themselves to gain and hold colored patronage; that Negro merchants have generally felt that they were entitled to colored patronage on the mere ground that we are all colored. This misunderstanding can be done away with, but the merchants must realize that the initiative depends upon them; for they have the goods to sell and the race has the money to spend. Along this line, we were glad to hear the progressive sentiment expressed by Mr. Nicholas, the president of the Colored Men's Business Association. He said: "One great handicap is that our people have never been accustomed to trading with Negro merchants. That has created a prejudice which, it is hard to overcome. There are men and women who trust black men and women who would give their custom to Negro merchants, but it never occurs to them that a race merchant can supply their needs. Not thinking about it, the result is they never stop in a colored man's store to find out. If we can educate the people into remembering that the Negro merchant of goods is not a complete stock of goods as the merchant of any other race, there would immediately come a change in present conditions." This is the right attitude to take. It will bring more trade than the attitude which makes the merchant discouraged or resentful because he does not have as much colored trade as he feels he is entitled to. In the end, this attitude is bound to bring success. We call upon all colored men doing business in Harlem to join the Business Men's Association, and catch the spirit of the sentiment expressed by its president. THE ISSUE. Of course, as American citizens, concerned about the general welfare of the country, we are interested in preparedness and the tariff and our foreign policy and all the other, more or less important issues which are being considered and discussed in view of the coming Presidential campaign. But for us there is one issue which stands out above them all. We want to know where the man for whom we are asked to cast our votes stands on the question of equal civil and political rights for the Negro. We can overlook his views on pacificism or preparedness, on free trade or high tariff, on swallowing our words or fighting Germany and Mexico combined, if he is right on the one issue. This issue is forced upon us. We regret that it is so, but it is, and upon that issue we must stand. Let colored voters everywhere use every means in their power to give this issue influence in the coming campaign. Editor Clement of the Star of Zion grudgingly concedes that his politics are in question, but pretends not to hear the buzzing of the bishopric bee in his bonnet. To show this politico-religious editor how members of his own denomination regard his anomalous attitude, we refer him to the letter of Presiding Elder E. M. Argyle, published on this page. There are times when the course of action which is practicable, which is expedient, which is necessary, runs counter to principle; then one may be excused for hesitating over what he should do. But when the thing which must be done, and the thing which ought be done lie in the same direction, it is sheer folly to take any other course. This, we believe, meets the question of what course of action the American Negro should take. Here and there a cry of doubt is arising as to whether or not we should continue to assume and perform the obligations and duties of American citizenship if the full rights and privileges of that citizenship are not accorded to us. Now, without any cant about patriotism or love of country, or without recourse to any other sentimental reason, let us see if we cannot arrive at the true answer. It is generally accepted, except by anarchists, that the performance of national duties is right in principle. Then let us see, if for the American Negro, the performance of these duties is not only the right thing, but also the practicable, the expedient, the necessary thing. Let us see if it is the thing which not only ought be done, but also the thing which must be done. If it is both, there can be no excuse for doubt or hesitation as to what course of action the race should follow. There are two, and only two ends before the American Negro, and at one of them he must finally arrive. One is the status of full citizenship and the other is a condition of serfdom. There is no middle ground. If the Negro in this country continues to work and fight, he will finally reach the former. When he stops working and fighting, he will gradually sink into the latter. It is a question of full citizenship or civil death. Should the Negro either from discouragement or bitterness say there is no hope, and cease to work and fight, he would surely be making the choice of civil death. It is clear that the practicable thing, the expedient thing, the necessary thing before the Negro is the gaining of full American citizenship, and he has got to use every means within his power to achieve his purpose. It takes only common sense to see that this can never be done if he himself renounces his claim and title to citizenship, and accepts the position that this is a white man's country. He must continue to perform his duties while he still contends for all the rights. For him to accept and perform the duties and not demand the rights would be pusillanimous; on the other hand, to demand the rights, and decline the duties would be foolish. So long as the Negro continues to do both, he as a clean case in court; and he is bound, sooner or later, to win the decision. The writer does not agree with those visionary optimists who believe that things will come out all right because you want them to come out right. The position he takes is not based upon optimism; it is based upon a study of the forces at work and an observation of the constant progress which the race is making. Those who grow discouraged and bitter are influenced by the fact that prejudice appears to increase. They say, "What is the use of making progress, if it is to be met only by stronger opposition?" It is true that opposition to our progress does grow stronger; but we must remember that the speed of our progress is constantly increasing. We are meeting with new evidences of prejudice; but we must remember that we are daily knocking at new doors of opportunity. If we stop or begin drifting backward, the opposition will grow less. The encouraging thing to note is that increased opposition has not been able to lessen our speed. To-day some cities are passing or attempting to pass segregation ordinances; whereas such a thing was not thought of thirty years ago. The reason is that to-day thousands and increasing thousands of Negroes are living in homes that excite the envy of certain whites, while thirty years ago the huts and cottages in the alleys and on the back streets did not arouse any such sentiment. Now does any one believe that these segregation ordinances are going to stand forever? Such a person seventy-five years ago would have believed that slavery was going to stand forever. Nothing based on wrong has been able to stand forever. We know that every foot of progress made by the Negro has been fought over; but see how the scene of the battle has shifted. Two hundred years ago the fight was as to whether or not he was really a human being with all the attributes of a human heart and soul. A hundred years ago it was as to whether or not he had sufficient gray matter in his brain to master the rudiments of learning. Fifty years ago it was over his right to be a free man. To-day it is over his admission to full membership in the body social and political. All the former battles have been won; then what reason is there to suppose that we shall not win the one being fought to-day or whatever others there may yet be to fight? The Negro must work; that is, he must keep up tireless efforts to develop himself along every line. He must fight; that is, he must protest against wrongs, and must claim his rights and not let up until he gets them. And he must have faith in himself. Then, he cannot fail. · HIS ONE CHANCE. A reader sends us an interesting editorial from a white newspaper published in North Carolina. Some of the white newspapers published in North Carolina are not afraid to speak the truth about the colored man. In fact, North Carolina is really a civilized state. The editorial we refer to is from the "Cape Fear News." It is an attack on Vardaman and is too long to be reproduced here, but we quote several paragraphs as follows: It is bad enough for the South to be afflicted with Blease and Hoke Smith, but Vardaman, of Mississippi, is the limit. This wild man from Mississippi is never content unless he is attempting to drag down the Negro, right or wrong. He is evidently suffering from negrophobia, and can never let a chance pass to hit the Negro race, even if he has to sink patriotism for rot and demagogy. The Negro is here to stay and when he proves himself a good citizen or a good soldier he is entitled to credit and encouragement, instead of kicks from such men as Vardaman, if he should be called a man. The "Cape Fear News" is fearless—the pun is unintentional—but we are of the opinion that it has not yet quite fully, sized up Vardaman and his ilk. Vardaman cannot give up his Negrophobia: to ask him to do so is like asking a man to give up his only means of making a living. Negrophobia is Senator Vardaman's only chance. What is there that he could possibly do in the Senate, except curse the Negro? How would anybody ever know he was in the Senate, if he didn't curse the Negro. In fact, he would not be in the South at all, except for his ability to curse the Negro. Vardaman, and others like him, who have risen on race hatred, ought to seek the seclusion of their closets each night and on their knees give thanks for the Negro; for without him they would be digging sweet potatoes for a living, instead of occupying high places in the councils of the nation. THE ULTIMATUM TO GERMANY. The action of the President in calling the Senate and the House together to hear his ultimatum to Germany sent the cold shivers up and down the country's spine. This is the second or third time he has given the whole country a fright, but it will probably get over this one just as it get over the others. We should not be subject to the frights if the Administration had a steady, consistent policy. As it is things drift along until, goaded by criticism, the Administration strikes out to do something. These spurs give the country a shock, and make it feel that more is being done than is necessary. As we said, a steady, constant, consistent policy would not produce these shocks. There is no criticism of the President's note, except that it might have been better had he sent it a year ago. However, there will be many who cannot escape the thought that our present relations with Mexico call for firmer measures than do our relations with Germany. Regardless of the accepted principles of international law, sentiment in the United States is divided over the duty of the country to go to war on account of American citizens who persist in traveling on belligerent ships. On the other hand, Americans living peaceably in Mexico have been despoiled of their possessions and killed; even our border has been invaded and our citizens and soldiers killed on their native soil; yet we defy the Kaiser—who, at present, can't get us, nor can we get at him—and we are tenderly regardful of Mr. Carranza, who seems ready to give us a fight if we want one. It may be said that the acts of Germany are being done by a government, while those in Mexico are being committed by outlaws. Since there is no government in Mexico which we can hold responsible for the deeds of these outlaws, we have so much the more reason, to take firm measures there. After all, a great many people will wonder why the President deemed it necessary to go before Congress to tell them about something he had done the day before. The "strict accountability" note, which was sent over a year ago, was in effect more of an ultimatum than the note sent last week, for it threatened fight instead of a diplomatic break; yet, it was not made an occasion for appearing before Congress. Just when everybody had grown accustomed to the regular exchange of notes, this latest stroke has the appearance of raising more excitement than was required. A WRONG REASON. published in Harlem, states that one of the large property owners in that section has served notice on his white tenants in two apartment houses on West 135th street near Seventh avenue to vacate by the first of May and not later than the fifteenth of the month in order to give the houses over to Negro tenants. The Home News ascribes the following reason for this action: Because of the fact that a Negro Y. M. C. A. building is to be erected at 135th street and Seventh avenue, white tenants who have lived in the neighborhood for years have decided to move away. Work on the new building will be done in May and 135th street at Seventh avenue will become really the heart of the Negro colony. This paper goes on to state further that the two houses have been vacant for some time, and all the landlord's efforts to rent them to white tenants have proved unsuccessful. We learn that the reasons and facts assigned by the Harlem publication for the change are wrong. The proprietor who is making the change ha scarried several vacancies in his houses for many months, long before there was any thought of erecting the Y. M. C. A. building in that block. The vacancies were due to general renting conditions and not to race feeling; in fact, we understand that the white tenants who have been ordered to move had no intention of doing so, and regret having it to do. The three houses now standing on th every site where the new Association building is to be erected about the St. Phillip's Church flats, which have been occupied by colored tenants for the past five or six years; and in these three houses white tenants have remained without any idea of moving. The fact is, they had to be served with what was virtually a notice of eviction in order to get them out. If prejudiced people and publications would leave this matter alone it would naturally adjust itself. REQUIRED OF A BISHOP. In view of the approaching gathering of the two general conferences of the divisions of the African Methodist Church, it would seem not amiss to take cognizance of some sentiment expressed within said denomination as to the qualifications required for their spiritual overseers. According to the book of discipline of the Zion Church, the requirements for the office of bishop are stated as follows, under Paragraph 136: No Elder is eligible to the office of Bishop: 1. Who has not been twenty years a Traveling Minister. 2. Who has not attained to the age of forty years 3. Who has two living wives. 4. Who has been appalled from our Church or from any other Denomination for gross immorality. As to the propriety of Sections 3 and 4, there can be no cavil, as the most rudimentary morality could require no less. Nevertheless, letters received at this office indicate that the writers have their doubts as to the rigid enforcement of the plain standards of decent living. Instead of publishing such attacks on individual candidates, we have recommended the writers to carry their charges, with the sufficient evidence to the general conference, with full faith that the delegates assembled will do exact justice to both accuser and accused. There is growing sentiment in the Zion Church that the requirements as to age and service, stated in Sections 1 and 2, are excessive and overshoot the mark. Twenty years as a traveling minister, it is claimed, make a heavy draft on the energy and vitality of the most sturdy constitution, both mentally and physically. The eight years' experience required in the African Methodist Church is deemed ample to qualify a man for the bishopric, upon which he can enter with greater vigor and energy than if his novitiate had been longer. The arduous duties of an overseer in the Methodist Church demand the fullest measure of mental and physical strength. As to the age limit, forty years is considered rather late in life to begin, the spiritual charge of churches, as contrasted with the English Church, in which the requirement is only thirty years of age. A modification of the age limit to thirty-five years and the term in the traveling ministry ten years is favored, by those members anxious for the progress and upbuilding of Zion. The matter should receive the careful consideration of those charged with the making of the laws of the Church. DISSENSION IN THE CHURCH - Easter Monday in many of the churches is the occasion for the choice by election of trustees, on wardens and vestrymen, to manage the business of the corporation for the ensuing year. Usually such proceeding are conducted with proper decorum and the choice of such officers is a mere formality of confirming the names previously decided upon by a caucus of the authorities. However, upon occasion a laxely contest may ensue, one of which was thus described in a New York daily on Tuesday: Dr. Denlingger from the pulpit declared that Charles Hays was unlucky to vote, as were others who had voted, whereupon Mr. Patterson demanded a recount. "Do you doubt my honesty?" asked Dr. Denlingger from the pulpit. "Yes, we do!" answered Mr. Patterson. "I am senior warden of this church now." Thereupon a score or so crowded about the ballot box and started to empty out the ballots to recount them. Dr. Deninger, tears running down his clinkers, the box, burst through the crowd and ran into the rectory. He was pursued by Mr. Patterson and several others, who vaulted over pews in their haste. When finally Dr. Deninger retreated, the digit claimed the victory, and Mr. Patterson claimed he was senior warden as loudly as Mr. Schwab announced he was. The meeting broke up with the factions at swords points. "There were some outsiders there," said Dr. Deninger. "Some of the ballots were absolutely illegal." To relieve the minds of those of our readers who may have been trying to identify the church by the names of the various contestants, we would say that the church in question is a white congregation in New York and any discredit involved in the performance does not reflect upon the race. It was only an exhibition of the weaker side of human nature common to black and white alike. It merely affords additional proof, if any were needed, that church rows are not peculiar to Negro churches only. A. MILITARY ROMANCE A MILITARY ROMANCE. Under the title of "The Problem," which is hardly distinctive enough to give a fitting idea of the nature of the story, F. Grant Gilmore has written a military romance, which is also defined as an answer to "The Birth of a Nation." While the style may seem to the severely critical somewhat famboyant, the story is pleasingly told and the exploits of the hero, Sergeant Henderson, are painted in glowing colors. The villain, Surgeon Fairax, is duly covered with ignominy in the failure of his attempts to discredit the hero and win the hand and heart of the heroine, the mystery of whose parentage is revealed by the hero, and the deftly sergeant are removed. Several scenes are laid in Cuba and the Philippines, during and following the war with Spain. Among the historical characters depicted are General Finston and Colonel Roswell, though the formalities of military rank are not always strictly observed. The price of the work is fifty cents. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY THE MEASURE OF A RELIGIOUS EDITOR I want to commend your editorial of a recent issue of *The Ace*, in which you took the measure completely of the Rev. Dr. Geo. C. Clement, editor of the *Star of Zion*, official organ of the A. M. E. Zion Church. You got the good doctor Dr. Geo. C. Clement, for his kindness, you do not know that you will approach of a large class of men, who have not had the privilege like Dr. Clement of studying next to the powers that be, and of being favored especially above others in whatever they desired. No one of my consequence in Zion disapproves others in whatever they desired. No one chose to be one, for the A. M. E. Zion Church is too broad for that; but to defend the policy of the church along his Democratic lines have been very resigned to thousands of its loyal votaries for years. It is also true that to speak of any irregularity or mistakes, or misuse of misstreatment, through the columns of the Okecal organ of the church, means to be branded and marked as an undesirable acquisition to its ranks and the word is passed along that he must be displeased. Of late the censor in the official organ is so rigid that one can't be unhappy with the inefficiencies higher up, without being classed as too radical, and unworthy of confidence and trust. It is such newspapers as THE AGE that can and will give a hearing to the grievances of those who are not too cowardly to speak out. We have been a member of the A. M. E. Zion Church approaching seventeen years; we have always spoken out against the encroachment upon the rights and privileges of others by those vested with authority by the Church; while attempts have been made repeatedly to the Down-and-out Club, and-mark the slaughter. But thank God we are not trembling so long as we have an abuding faith in God. Marwville, Tenn. Will you kindly, publish the following? In its issue of April 1, the Montclair Times quoted Miss Bond, secretary of the school, who said he was having a meeting at the W. T. U., that the colored people of Montclair are not truly representatives of their race. She aims to work on the issue of racial justice for all girls is among insecure and immoral girls. It is indeed a puzzle to me to understand what Miss Bond means; because representatives of nearly every industry, namely, lawyers, doctors, dentists, pharmacists, mechanics, real estate and insurance men teachers, nurses, laborers. In fact, the rank and file is above that of other towns not only of this size, but the larger cities, in which the school statement made about moral and intellec girls is indebted to a malicious slander on the mothers and daughters of the school, and if made about an individual, would be sufficient cause for legal action. I have consulted Drs. Burnett and Thompson and they know of no imbalance in the relationship of W. Y. C. A., or residing Montclair. The whole statement is a malicious and unwarranted distortion, and shows lack of appreciation of the completeness of the colored people of Montclair. If I appear properly quoted it shows a limited knowledge of the people whom she should know better than she has shown. SHERWOOD L. CATLETT. Montclair, N. J. PLAINFIELD N J PAINFIELD, N. J.

Smart Set's biggest athletic meet to be held at the 13th Regiment Armory on Friday evening of this week is now in full swing. Each day brings forth increased interest and enthusiasm. Of the fourteen events listed on the program it is difficult to pick out the headliner. Naturally great interest is directed to the J. B. Taylor "Memorial Quarter", which race occupies a unique position in the annals of athletics. The story of this race is most interesting. Established in honor of the greatest quarter mile runner of his time, John B. Taylor, Jr. to perpetuate his memory the $300 trophy competed for was obtained by popular subscription among his friends and admirers. In the first running, of this race "Ted" Meredith representing the University of Pennsylvania was returned the winner, and the trophy went to Philadelphia to the University for the first year. Among Taylor's closest friends was Melville E. Sheppard, who had the distinction of being the second winner Sheppard declared that it was an inspired race. He never entered into competition again, it was his last race. On the eye of the third running of this memorable event, it is a great problem among the dopesters of athletes as to which of the four entered will be returned the winner. Irving T. Howe of Boston is training hard for this race, he has see his heart upon it; twice before he started and failed. Out in Chicago "Binga" Dismond has his eyes turned toward the Taylor Trophy, and the two other men of great achievement to be reckoned with are Dave Caldwell of the Boston A. A. and Homer Baker of New York. The 90-yard special race will bring together some of the greatest sprinters in training today, and it is expected that a new record for the 90 yards will be made. Among the entrants to this race are Howard P. Drew of Los Angeles, Roy Morse of New York City, Frank Stevenson of the Trinity Club, and the entries of Brooke Brewer of Georgetown and Joe Loomis of Chicago are expected. Miss Richardson, Pianist.
