The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCE IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. NURSES MEET IN NEW YORK Ninth Annual Convention of Nat'l Ass'n of Colored Graduate Nurses. Well Known People on Interesting Program During the Three-Days' Session of Association Held at Mother Zion Church. DR. E. P. ROBERTS SPEAKS Local Physician Delivers One of the Principal Addresses, Speaking on "Success" - Session Largest and Most Successful in Association's History. The ninth annual convention of the National Association of Colored Graduates, which convened Tuesday morning for a three-days' session at Mother A.M. E. Zion Church, 151-53 West 136th Street, promises to be the most largely attended and successful gathering held in the history of the association. Nurses from various states are in attendance. The officers of the association are: Mrs. Adah B. Thoms, New York City, president; Miss M. M. York, Washington, D. C., first vice-president; Mrs. Louise D. Watkins, Portsmouth, second vice-president; Miss S. Leonora Hargrave, Wilmington, N. C., corresponding secretary; Miss Mary E. Merritt, Louisville, Ky., recording secretary; Mrs. N. L. Kemp, Philadelphia, treasurer; Miss E. E. Jackson, Lotus, Ky., chaplain. Miss Martha M. Franklin, Misc Mary R. Tucker, Miss Mary T. Clark and Miss Carrie M. Sharp, honorary presidents. Organized in 1908. The National Association of Colored Graduate Nurses was organized in 1908 and has increased in membership and influence yearly. At Tuesday morning's program the session was called to order by Mrs. Thoms, and invocation was asked by the Rev. J. W. Brown'. Addresses of welcome were delivered by Mrs. M. C.牛ton, president of the Empire State Federation, and Mrs. E. E. Greene. A paper on "Sanitation and Public Health Nursing in the South" was read by Mrs. Julia Latter, of Durham, N. C. In the afternoon, after invocation by Rev. W. H. Brooks, an address was delivered by Dr. Eugene Roberts, a paper on "Post-Graduate Work" by Miss Amelia A. Hall, superintendent. Among those appearing on Wednesday's program were Dr. Charles A. Butler, Miss Mary E. Merritt, of Louisville; Miss Mary Tucker, of the University of Pennsylvania; Miss Octavia Waters, of Norfolk; Miss L. G. Warich, assistant superintendent of Provident hospital, Chicago; Mrs. Adah B. Thoms, who delivered the president's address; Dr. York Russell, Miss B. H. Haynes, head worker of Lincoln House; Dr Charles H. Roberts, Miss Sadie B. Henderson, Miss Mary E. Clarke, Dr. V. Morton-Jones, superintendent Lincoln Settlement, Brooklyn; Miss Martha M. Freedkorn's hospital, Washington, D. C., and Jarvis W. Johnson. One of the principal addresses of the session was on "Succes" delivered by Dr. E. P. Roberts, which follows; Dr. Roberta' Address. The art of nursing is practically consistent with the origin of man. It is implementary of and complimentary to the practice of medicine and surgery. It is the natural sequence of an effort to relieve the suffering, prolong life and allow man to live out his abilted three score and ten years in happiness. Like in all other branches of science, generalizations were first made and from these generalizations, careful deductions followed. Progress in this science has been made by slow gradations. In the Orient for many centuries the amelioration of pain, saving and prolonging of life were, and in many instances are still left to the nurses, who find, compound, and administer drugs and also the skillful care necessary for the patient's improvement or recovery. In the Occident, the same was and is true. For two and a half centuries, colored women were employed as midwives and nurses in practically every family in the entire South. They are still doing most of this particular work there and a good share of it elsewhere. The nurses of those were as a class too gross, ignorant and superstitious. They were incapable of making careful observations and systematizing them for present and future use. They knew little, if anything at all, about analytical, synthetical, inductive, and deductive reasoning. In order to properly develop this science, colleges and training schools were opened for those who wanted to engage in the practice of nursing. The conduct of this profession has been gradual, raised until at the present time it is necessary to be morally and physically healthy, and to have good preliminary education in order to enter an first-class training school. Year after year, new studies are being add- (Continued on page two) NEW YORK AGE 247 WEST 46TH ST. THE NEGRO TROOPERS ALONG THE RIO GRANGE Treatment of the Negro Soldiers by Texans has Gone the Limit both in Being Good and in Being Bad—Thousands of the Texas People's Lined El Paso's Streets and Paid Tribute to Men of 19th. The following interesting story of the conditions that are to be found along the Mexican border has been written for THE Age by a former trooper of the famous, Fighting Teenth, whose knowledge and information has been gained by actual contact and observation, and who is at the present time located at El Paso, Texas, Tom J. Clement, who sends the story, was late a sergeant in K Troop, 10th U. S. Cavalry, and wore the medal of an expert rifleman. Entering the army as a private, Clement became a clerk in the headquarters office and in the commissary department; was an assistant steward in the Post Exchange, where he came in contact with the entire regiment, officers and men; was captain and quarterback of the best football team of the 10th; was catcher for the baseball team; athletic correspondent for The Army and Navy Register; took a prominent part in the M. Y. C. A., and sang in the Post Quartet; so, as he says, he knows the colored soldier personally—the 10th particularly well. His period of service extended over three "government years." Mr. Clement's article is as follows: El Paso, Texas—The unexpected peace winds have scattered the war clouds that hung so heavily over these parts some weeks ago and there’s many a disappointed heart beating to-day along the Rio Grande. So if all that happens, happens for the best, let this be no exception that our boys in khaki, so ready and anxious to fight the desert conditions and chase a bandit "army" around in Mexico, are still for the most part on this side. That the task, however, may yet confront them, at this writing remains a matter of conjecture. That it awaits the developments of the future is a fact that stands out in bold relief along the horizon of bandit raids, missures and diplomatic negotiations. The real preparedness parade of the United States has passed in review and pitched tents along the southwesterly walls of the nation's boundary. Yes, folks, they rehere.

CHARLESTON, S. C—Savannah, Beaulfort and Charleston are engaged in a keen but friendly rivalry in which the better element of both races are taking an active interest. Each city is particularly anxious to have the much talked of co-operative industrial community and health resort, to be owned and conducted exclusively by Negroes, established somewhere near its borders. No selection of a site will be made, however, until a meeting of the Board of Directors to be held in Philadelphia. The directors have agreed on one important point, however, that the proposed community is to be located on the Sea Islands, off the coast of South Carolina, where the climate is ideal, the soil exceedingly fertile and there is no malaria. A five days' tour of inspection of the Sea Islands has just been completed by two members of the Board of Directors—Dr. John P. Turner, of Philadelphia, and Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville. They were accompanied by Mr. John T. Patrick, a multi-millionaire of Wadesboro, N. C., a friend of the race, who is greatly interested in the success of the project; Mr. George Singleton, a millionaire silk manufacturer and his son, Isiah. The party chartered the steamer Attaquin at Savannah and made a visit to various islands. The colored people of Cincinnati, Louisville, Savannah, Charleston, Beaulfort, as well as New York, Philadelphia, Chicago and other northern cities are co-operating to make this venture a big success. Among the directors are Dr. A. B. Jackson, Dr. John P. Turner and Counselor G. Edward Dickerson, of Philadelphia; Lester A. Walton, of New York, and Dr. C. V. Roman, of Nashville. The promoters originally planned to locate in the mountains of North Carolina, but upon investigation concluded that a community established on the Sea Islands off the coast of South Carolina would be a more advantageous move for many reasons. 5.

TALBERT BATHMORE, Md.—The tenth biennial session of the National Association of Colored Women's Clubs came to a close late last Thursday night after an eventful meeting. A reception followed in the chapel of Bethel A. M. E. Church the 1918 meeting will be held at Denver, Col. A prominent New York woman, Mrs Mary B. Talbot, of Buffalo, was elected to succeed Mrs Booker T. Washington as president, the latter being ineligible. She had served two successive terms. Miss Haflie C. Q. Brown, of Hilberforce, O., was the opposing candidate but withdrew after two ballots had been cast. A two-thirds vote was necessary for election. On the first ballot for election Mrs. Talbert received 230 votes; Miss Brown 120. Second ballot was 231 to 130. Among the noteworthy things done during the session was the agreement to lift the $4,000 mortgage on the home of Frederick Douglass at Anacosting, D. C. This will not only make the matriarch the headquarters of the women, but preserve it as a memorial to the anti-slavery orator. The women gave $75 toward the $10,000 anti-lynching fund of the N. A. A. C. P. The new officers are: Mrs. Mary Talbert, Buffalo, N. E. presiden; Miss Ida R. Cummings, Baltimore, vice president; Miss Georgia A.

AMUSEMENTS PLANNED (Special to THE NEW YORK AQR) PHILADELPHIA, PA.—For the seventeenth annual session of the grand lodge, I. B. P. O., which will meet in this city on August 20, at St. Peter Clawns Hall, the O. V. C. Lodge, Loon 20, has arranged the following five issues: Sunday, August 20—Annual sermon at African Bantist 16th and Christian streets; Monday, August 21—Public session at Cherry Memorial Church, address of welcome by the Mayor; Tuesday, August 22—Street parade and picnic at Point Breeze Park; Wednesday, August 23—Recognition by Phillis Wheatley Temple, No. 51, and Quaker City Temple, No. 73, to Ladies Temple delegates and visiting lodges at the Elks' Home, Smith street, from 2 to 10 p. m.; Thursday, August 24—Grand ball at the Academy of Music; Friday, August 25—Side trips have been arranged to Atlantic City WOMAN WHO TAUGHT NEGRO CHILDREN, DEAD. (Special to The New York Age.) CEDAR RAPPS, IA.—Miss Esther Douglass, one of the first white women to leave the north and go south to teach Negro children, died here on August 8 at the home for Aged Women, in her paucity in New York. She was born in Hanover, Mass, June 12, 1824, and went as a missionary to the Carolinas a year before the war ended. For more than thirty years, and until her health failed, she labored among the Negro children. For more than fourteen years she has been an inmate of the Home for Aged Women, and was frequently visited by former students who had developed into successful men of affairs. CHICAGO NURSE HEAD OF AUGUSTA HOSPITAL (Special to The New York Times) (Special to THE NEW YORK AGL.) AUGUSTA, GA.-It is reported that Miss Edna DePriest, a graduate of the Provident Hospital Training School, Chicago, has accepted the position of superintendent of the Lamar hospital, this city. The Lamar hospital is maintained by the city for colored patients, but it has been in charge of a white nurse since the death of Miss Mittle White, a former superintendent. Miss DePriest has been employed in the Provident hospital since her graduation. FLORINA SANTANA HELD IN VIRTUAL SLAVERY Brought from Brazil, with Two Others, by Man who Posed as Coffee Trader. KEPT YEARS IN SECLUSION White Man Deceived Two Girls and One Boy Into Leaving Brazilian Home by Promising Liberal Wages and Return Fare Home After Three Years—Paid This Girl Practically Nothing for Two Years. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) WESTFIELD, N. J.—Florina Santana was born in Victoria, Brazil, in the year of 1897. Her only known relative is a sister Joana Santana, who is a parlytic, who resides in Victoria. Florina's life was uneventful until the year of 1914. In that fateful wear an unscrupulous man named Miller went to Brazil. According to the testimony of the girl, through an interpreter, Miller, a supposed respectable, law-abiding citizen of the United States of America, and a gentleman, hired agents to go into the mountain region and entice the lowly people who abide there to come to the city on the allegation that a rich coffee trader would pay well for malters of coffee bags. Three innocent, ignorant persons, two girls and one boy, were allured by the attractive offers. When they reached the "coffee trader" he affirmed the offers of his agent, agreeing to take them to the "land of the free and the home of the brave," to pay them $40 per month for three years, and at the expiration of that period to send them back to their native land. Going to Rio de Janeiro to secure passports, and to see it differs for accounts to be traced the man Miller changed Florina's name, from Santana to Quintiana de Almeda, so it would be the same as that of her two companions. Passage was obtained on the steamer Van Dyke. Confined to Ship's Hold. Investigation of records at Ellis Island shows that the steamer Van Dyke attempted to leave Rio de Janeiro without proper clearance papers, was fired on by a Brazilian revenue cutter and compelled to put back into port. Evidently the American white man picked men of his own callibre with whom to deal. When the ship put back under the cutter's compelling fire the girls and boy were put in the hold of the ship and warned, on the pain of death, to keep quiet. They were given only bread and coffee during the voyage and requests for more food were met with ill-treatment. Disemarking at Ellis Island, the modern master showed the passports (how they were obtained is not known). He compelled the girl to say that she was 22 years of age, and that each of them had $20, the amount an alien must have on landing in this country. As a matter of fact the girl was only 17 years ago, and had not one cent. Almost immediately after landing the three were sent to Chicago, where one of the girls and the boy are now. After a month Florida demanded that Miller carry out his contract and pay her $40, a month's salary. Miller refused, and to prevent her from making any complaint sent her to this little town, Westfield, to the home of his mother and father, who had lately moved here and who were not generally known. Miller's rules allowed her to be away from the house but a short while on Sundays afterwards, and she was warned and required not to speak to or go near colored people. Tiring of this seclusion, Florina took advantage of an oppor- THE BAY OF THE WATER $25 REWARD. $25 reward will be paid for information us to the whereabouts of ERIC H.

NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. PRICE FIVE CENTS SOME FACTS ON RACE BUSINESS Elks' Exalted Ruler Defends Lodge Against Lack of Race Pride. SCORES BUSINESS MEN OF RACE Charges that Some Have Proven Unreliable and Dishonest and Have Forfeited Confidence of the People NEW QUESTION BROUGHT UP Discussion of Action of Manhattan Lodge Has Led to Consideration of that Phase of Race Business Concerning How Negro Business Patronage Each Other—Business Honor Roll. Articles appearing in recent issues of THE ACE concerning the placing of an order for uniforms by Manhattan Lodge, No. 45, I. B. P. O. E., with a haberdashery conducted by white men, has aroused considerable interest. This stirring up is, naturally, most evident in the ranks of the lodge referred to, and in addition to statements already given by the secretary, a letter is given this week from the head of the lodge, D. W. Parker, exalted ruler. Mr. Parker's letter brings up some interesting phases of the question of race trade for race merchants, and it is given in its entirety. Certain references to THE ACE are not exactly complimentary, but they are given as written. The first article concerning the order for uniforms and its being given to a white merchant without allowing a Negro merchant to even bid for it, was an absolutely truthful account of the transaction and neither in Secretary Joell's statement in last week's ACE, nor in Exalted-Ruler Parker's letter this week, has there been any refutation of any statement contained therein. Mr. Joell and Mr. Parker give the reason for the placing of the order—the employment of a member of the lodge by the white firm—but in no wise does that change the condition. A letter from the lodge asks the proprietor Nick's Toggery, and president of the Colored Business Men's Association, speaks for itself. A New Question. A question brought out by this matter is, to what extent does the Negro merchant, business and professional man patronize other race enterprises? During the past week THE Ace has started an investigation along this line. Results so far, tentative to some extent, show an astonishing discrepancy between the number of colored men and women who depend on the race for patronage, and the number who return to the race their own patronage. The investigation is necessarily incomplete, and the first information secured may not be entirely accurate. A list of business men who patronize other business men of the race has been secured from a representative of the Colored Business Men's Association, and that list has been submitted to a few others who could be quickly reached. The list includes the names of physicians, dentists, lawyers, ministers and men in mercantile pursuits. It is a partial list, but there is a difference of opinion concerning some of the names. THE Ace is not attempting as yet to state with authority as to the correctness on the list—that is, to state positively that names mentioned give all of their trade they possibly can to other Negro merchants. It is quite probable that some of the names contained on this honor roll will be removed therefrom and it is reasonably certain that others will be added thereto. The Honor Roll. The following names were submitted as showing, business, and professional men who patronize each other. The names PHYSICIANS—Dr. Leo Fitz Nearon, Dr. A. B. Graves, Dr. Gus. Henderson, Dr. William H. Johnson. DENTIST—Dr. Neal LAWYERS—Counsellors E. A. Johnson, Louis A. Leavelle, Wilford H. Smith, Charles G. Snead, James C. Thomas, Jr. Philip M. Thorne, Robert Waring, J. Frank Wheaton. DRUGGISTS—Dr. J. B. Anderson, Dr. H. C. Blue. GROCERS—R. J. Carr, R. F. Turner, FURNITURE—Alex Anderson. TAILOR—E. T. Ashley. BUTCHERS—C. W. Anderson, L Weaver. HABERDASHER—R. E. Nicholas. RESTAURANTS—Clarence Dodson, Hunter C. Haynes. CAFES—Percy Brown, Thomas J. Diggs, Johnny Morris, Charles Thorpe, Barron D. Wilkins, Leroy Wilkins. The investigation along this line will be continued and full publicity, will be given to the results as found. D. W. Parkor's Letter. New York, August 8, 1916. To the Editor of The Age: In your edition of August 3, a lof of valuable space was devoted, which might have been used to better advantage, to making misstatements and the false arrangement of a lodge and set of men, who acted within their rights, and who are helping one of their own young men. It is sincerely hoped, that you will devote a little space to giving the true version of facts, which are in justice due us. To begin with, may we ask: Who is Mr. Nicholas? Is he a member of the Elks, or any other fraternal body? To believe that Charity begins at once; and as that is one of the fundamental principles of our Order, we presume it is our right to practice it. Business men of the opposite race, when they hour of anything important happening, make an effort to get the business. Did Mr. Nicholas do so? For the last six months, it has been chorecled in all the papers of Harlem that the I. B. P. O. E. would hold its annual convention in Philadelphia in August; and that the lodges in this vicinity would no doubt send large delegations. Had he wanted the business, he would beyond a doubt have made an effort to obtain contracts for furnishing uniforms. No such effort has been made. "A thing not worth seeking, is not worth having." Manhattan Lodge has made no contract directly with a "white firm," but to Mr. J. Walter Hamlin, a young colored man, a member of Manhattan Lodge, who is employed by this white firm as salesman. Had Mr. Nichols obtained the contract, he would have soon compelled to go to a white firm to obtain the uniforms. What we have done is to patronize a firm that is employing one of our members, and we are thereby obtaining some returns. The New York Age could better afford to spare a little and get the fact in the case before making wild and unreliable statements. Admonish our business men to get up and hustle, and when something good comes around again, they will no doubt have an opportunity to get it. The gentlemen arraigned are, we are willing to wager as much race men as those who have arraigned us. We admit that white men stick together, and those of color will also do so when those in business show that they are not above their fellows and deliver the goods. We know of colored tailors in Harlem who have been given goods to make up and have returned the suits in such shape as to be of no earthnause. Others, we know, who have lost goods belonging to patrons by fire and after obtaining their insurance refused to make the other fellows property good. There are good tailors as well as other good business men in Harlem, and we are pleased to report that in May, Manhattan Lodge gave one an order for near) One Hundred Dollars. This tailor has since had several orders from members of Manhattan Lodge for suits, which are very satisfactory. Does not this look like race pride, and that we will stick to each other. We wish for the success of all colored business men in Harlem and elsewhere. "If they are not successful, it is to a great degree their own fault. Let them wake up, get out among the boys and hustle, and we are quite sure business will increase and success will be theirs. Let them not sit down and croak, but try and meet conditions face to face. You lay stress upon Mr. James H. Anderson, being the leader of Manhattan Lodge's delegation and insinuate that he was responsible for the order being given a "white" firm, Mr. Anderson is not the leader of the delegation, but simply a member. As a member of Manhattan Lodge, he has a voice and but one vote in its affairs. Respectfully yours, D. W. PARKER, Exalted Ruler, Manhattan Lodge, No 45 Letter from R. E. Nicholas. To the Editor of The Age: I shall consider it an extraordinary favor if you will grant me space in your valuable paper for the following observations: The people in general and members of Manhattan Lodge, I. B. P. O. E., in particular, are giving me credit for that invaluable article contained in the issue of August 3 of The Age, headed "Elks Give Uniform Order to White Firm." As much as I appreciate the value of the article to myself, and as a lesson in economics to the Negro, I cannot justly claim credit for it, since that, credit is rightfully due the management of what I consider the most fearless, progressive and loyal race paper in the country, namely, The New York Age. It is true, I gave the following facts. That I am a Negro merchant who, by reason of experience and financial position, could have fulfilled the requirements of the above named lodge as satisfactorily and as cheaply as any other firm. I also claimed that I was not given a chance to bid for the business. I have received already a letter from one of the individuals interested which pretty clearly sets forth what they have to offer in justification of their fiction in the matter. The first, that I am not a member of the Order, second, that a member of the Order is employed by the white firm, third, the price. In answer to the first, I confess that I am not a member of the order, but not being a member of the lodge is unmaterial, since there is no other colored man engaged in the haberdashery one who is a member of the order, and since we are inseparately bound together by racial ties, I believe we would first be loyal as members of the race. As to the statement that a member of the Order is employed by the white firm in question, I would ask if these gentlemen desire to go on record as remunerating this white firm which gave this member employment by giving this firm the order without facing the transaction on a competitive basis? Third, the price. In all seriousness, when I read this I was ambushed, bewildered, to know that men who are not engaged in the clothing business could so readily determine at the price was right, when dealers themselves don't buy without making improvements. I would not like to believe that these gentlemen, or the Manhattan Lodge, or obligated to this white firm to the tent that they minimize the necessity of economizing because the firm exploits a colored man. In a colored community from which it gets its support. (Granting that this is not true, at that it was done purely out of gratitude for having given one of your members a position, it must still be considered poor business: from an economic point of view, and a poor example to our youth. Nothing could be more disastrous to us as a race than to discourage the larger efforts; than to discourage the investment of capital by the Negro in order to show our gratitude to others who employ, gatpatsu to win our business. I feel, Mr. Editor, that there is more cause for regret because of the example set than because of any pecuniary loss to myself. I am profoundly interested in our economic development as a race, and in no way do I permit my personal interests to becloud by reason when considering the good of the many. Some of these gentlemen I know and esteem I enjoy the individual patronage of some of them, and I don't consider it magnificent to say that this error was not of the heart, but the result of taking too lightly this momentous problem, our economic unpreparedness. So deeply impressed am I in this larger phase of the matter that Nick's Tougery Shop would have put through the deal at manufacturer's price rather than have this example set. And I hope I will not be considered boastful when I say that enjoying an entitlement credit, we are in a position, financially and otherwise, to take care of the largest orders. Thanking you again for your valuable assis, nice to the "Cruise" to economic progress, I am as ever. Yours respectfully, R E NICHOLAS.

"Nursing is of primary importance in many cases, secondary in all Nurses of today must be able to do more than read and understand the significance of the findings of the thermometer. They must have a definite and reliable knowledge of infant feeding, dietetics, hydrotherapy, urinary analysis, the spymometer, and the myroscope, chemistry, anatomy, ph, biology, bacteriology, hygiene and sanitation "In order that the visiting nurses ma know something concerning the progress that is being made by the inermembers of their profession in New York, permit me to state that ten colored nurses are regularly and three temporarily employed in the Health Department Miss Clary Harris has the honor of being the first to be appointed in 1998. She is also the first and only colored nurse in the city to be placed in charge of a Baby Health Station. Lincoln Hospital employs nine graduate nurses and one assistant superintendent in the person of your most capable and distinguished president. "In Lincoln Hospital, the operating room, maternity, children's medical and surgical, and the home wards are all in charge of graduate nurses. The Charity Organization employs one nurse; the Colored Mission; one; the Social Service Department of Lincoln Hospital; one; and the Henry Street Settlement, seven. Some are engaged in the state and federal service. In many of the other states, the colored nurses are holding similar positions. While you as a group are ethnologically different from others in your profession, you are nevertheless fortunate in that you have the same opportunity for acquiring knowledge and skill, and measuring up to the high standard of efficiency set up by them. You are fortunate in that you are by nature and special training capable of rendering the best possible service for the good of humanity. You are fortunate indeed, in that your services are recognized and appreciated by no special race or group of individuals, but by all races and all classes. Success and Inspiration Permit me to say a few words about the word that is in your heart and on your lips—Success. In order to have success, you must first have an inspiration. You no doubt have been inspired to achieve it by the precepts and examples of the splendid men and women under whom you have studied, by the sacricles of loving mothers and fathers, by the assistance and sympathy of many true and loyal friends among whom are to be found Miss Booth and Miss Wald, by the fair and impartial treatment accorded you in the Health Department, Charity Organization, State and Federal Departments, by the hallowed achievements of Florence Nightengale and Edith Cavell. "Remember, if you please, that it is very difficult for you to become worthy of your inspiration, and that it is equally difficult for you to remain worthy. In order to win success, you must keep abreast with progress made in your profession by studying and close observations. It is said that a spider spinning his web, suggested the idea which gave us the suspension bridge; a flowering vine suggested the Corinthian column; a duck's oye, the telescopic lens; a aawing tree, the Eddystone lighthouse; the swinging pendulum in the Cathedral at Pisa, Galileo's idea for the pendulum clock, and the falling apple, Newton's idea of gravitation. You must be close observers. You cannot afford to leave the hard and intricate problems to be solved by others. You yourselves must add something worth while to the sum total of knowledge required for the advancement of the science of nursing. "It is said that the word success is mentioned only once in the Bible. That was when Joshua heard the voice of God making him a successor to Moses, and telling him to read the Book of the Law, to make it his meditation by ESTABLISHED 20 YEARS MRS.

Senate Ave., Indianapolis, Ind., U.S.A. THE MASTER OF THE WORLD dive and by right and declaring that he was shall be prosperous and he shall have 'good success' Duties of a Nurse. If you would have a good success listening, not theeling abiding, not transitory success, you must love God and humanity. Let the ruling passion of your life be, always willing to do the good you can do. There is nothing that gives more inspiration and hope a stronger incentive to do our full duty, than spiritual perception, faith in seen realities faith in God. If you would have success, be insulted. Believe that success in life is something more than personal. Take the laws of hygiene and sanitation, the laws of healthy living to the homes of the poor. Take them in the spirit in which the minister makes his bible and prayer. For they, too, are the words of God, since every truth is a divine revelation. Don't answer the Macedonian call of the poor for help by plea for 'money money': more money! Help the helpless and teach the ignorant the proper value of your service. In your upward climb, you will find your path much obstructed here and there. Fill in and make the rough places smooth, remove the obstacles, and as pilots suspend a bright light in the sky of reason to guide aright those who are to follow after you. Finally, if you would have success, remember that a nurse can parry or vitate the moral atmosphere of the home—that she can nurse a patient who is suffering with one disease and at the same time immolate him with the deadly germs of another. Remember that we want skilled nurses, but with that, beyond that, we want faithful, honest, clean and decent nurses. If I have a final privileged plea, let it be that you dream of service, think of service, render service. Then your continued success will be assured." THE NEGRO TROOPERS' ALONG THE RIO GRANDE (Continued from page one) but Congress can go ahead with the pre- liminaries as it deems most expedient in keeping with the times. And Congress or somebody—has proceeded admi- rally. According to the most authentic figures there are 182,000 men in khaki now in southern Texas, and still they come! The southwestern corner of the United States can't say that the promoters haven't given it major league excitement during the past six months, only to let hope and expectation fall at the crucial moments. When Columbus was entered we were positive that the real works had been cut loose, as Naco had been pulled up lame so often in the trials, but our hopes were shattered and battered when they put over the "Go get Villa" stuff on us. Then came Glen Springs and Carrizal, legitimate one-to十 propositions left flat-footed. So to there has been naught to reach our ears that exemplifies the machine gun save the passing of Fors. And that crude and gory system of man's indulgence has been for the while averted, or diverted-I don't know which The Newaboy's Harvest. At this point will say somewhere out of Mexico—El Paso, for instance—there have been quite a few things doing for the past few weeks. There have been rumors and rumors of rumors anent possibilities and probabilities, impossibilities and improbabilities. The poor little newsbows have worked overtime. One of the little fellows told me that he hoped business would keep up, as he had cleaned up $1.60 for himself that day. To augment the general business of things, the street-car men grew weary of the dull routine of riding every for pay while everybody else had to pay to ride, went on a strike and tried to riot. But these soldiers showed a few of them that that was a mighty bad idea. The purveyors of eggs and eggs at the restaurants and hotels also felt called upon to lay aside their euxedos, as they couldn't possibly exist on the public's paltry donations of five and six dollars a day. Since the arrival of the National Guard we have an added population of MME. C.J. WALKER'S SIX WEEK'S TREATMENT Which is guaranteed to grow hair or money refunded.

People of all sects, creeds and nationalities. Some for this reason, some for that, and some are like the little boy when his teacher had promised an apple to the one who gave the best reason for being a Democrat or Republican. The Republican boy said that his father was right and he believed his father was right. The little Democrat boy said that he was a Democrat because he wanted the apple. Mexico's Internal Conditions. The internal conditions in Mexico brought on through lack of an unselfish government has to a great extent forced out and destroyed the progressive ability of the country of every rating and status—socially and financially. While virtually a republic, it has remained actually a despotic monarchy until a few wise boys got into the game and decided it was their turn to bat. Then came the squabble over batting out of order which broke up the game. As much as has been said pro and con of Carranza, he has certainly proxen himself the best of the ability that is left by the fact that he began his career without men or money and scarcely any equipment. Now remains but the acquisition of foreign confidence in showing himself complete master of the situation. The advantage or disadvantage, as the case might be, to the colored man by intervention cannot be treated in a single sentence, and yet if I should say he has all to win and nothing to lose I believe I would have a tremendous following or years. At any rate, as I don't propose to discuss the life or ands herein, I will only say that I happen to know personally quite a few colored boys who were really "coping the grapes" before Villa got things going so strong, Villa or General Villa as the case might have been, was the fellow with whom certain of our colored people tried to claim kship or knowledge of his being an American colored man. Even my good friend Billie was a very clever fellow, got to thinking that he knew "Pancho," Villa never was a colored American, and whoever tells you, Mr. Reader, that he was just refer them to me, as I happen to know him. I've come across a good many people from the States on foreign soil, but none had forgotten the language. Honor to Heroic Troopers The great Southwest, of which the Lone Star State comprises the most part, can now, lay claim to holding the record for the extremes of badness and goodness in its treatment of the colored man. She has gone the limit both ways. We won't mention the bad, however, but the good was certainly historical. The return of our colored boys from Carrizal was certainly an event in American history equalled only by their behavior at Carrizal itself. I shall not attempt to describe what I saw here June 29, when twenty-three colored sol- KINKY HAIR BECOMES STRAIGHT, SOFT, GLOSSY, LONG BY USING HEROLIN HAIR DRESSING, NEW DISCOVERY— NOT STICKY OR GUMMY.

Aside from the huge throng that gathered to do our boys reverence, hundreds of cameras clicked welcome and a whole battery of moving picture operators recorded the historic event. long reels of film while business in the city was practically suspended. I worked and a great deal more tool. I am in Las Vegas, population 70,000—a regular city out this way.' And I want to leave this word with you. Each of these fellows was intelligent in his conversation and many in his bearing. Mr. Addison Hughes, assistant chief of the Hearst staff, here told me that it was his first experience in interviewing a colored man and he was keenly impressed by the "class" of the colored soldier, as his "scoop" showed which I read in the New York American. Stability, the possession of all the strong parts, the wanting to know the reason why, the mainly independence, the driving power of initiative, is growing more universal among our colored boys in every line of activity. And the more pronounced it becomes, the more profound will be the world's recognition of the same. The part played by the colored soldier for the past few years of this Mexican trouble on the border has been the most prominent of any. It was the Ninth Cavalry who stood the grueling conditions around Naco, of which the half has never been told, it was the "Fighting Tenth" who was called upon to get Villa and that dash upon Guerra was a masterpiece of equine manipulation, they have been put through every acid test of modern cavalry life and have stood it like Blue Kimberleys. STORY OF A BRAZILIAN GIRL'S TRIALS IN U. S. (Continued from page one) tunity and cultivated a friendship with Miss Estelle Cavaza. Visiting at Miss Cavaza's home on Downer street, she gradually learned to speak English sufficiently to acquaint Mr. Cavaza, who is president of the Strangers' Club, with the story of her experiences. Mr. Cavaza advised her not to go back to Miller's, telling her he would procure another place for her. This advice she accented. Miller Calls Police to Help. When Miller found that she had gone he went to Chief Rosecrans of the Westfield police force and enlisted his assistance. At the bidding of Miller the chief an officer to the girl, who, by threats of jail and shooting, intimidated and forced her to return to Miller's home. She stayed until July 30, when the cruel and unjust treatment received caused her to again seek out Mr. Cavaza, and he again advised her to stay away from the Millers Florina's worldly possessions consisted of the clothes she wore at the time and a few well-worn frocks brought from Brazil, which were in a trunk at Miller's home. Mr. Cavaza called on the chief of police and asked for protection for the girl. In reply he was told by the chief "Let her go back up there to those people. If she comes down here I'm going to lock her up, and if you bother with her you will get yourself in trouble." Mr. Cavaza refused to be awed by threats, but told the chief he would continue his investigations. Florina, accompanied by Mrs. Steward and two boys, Albert Nesht, 8 years, and Henry Stewart, 5 years, called on Chief Rosecapen and requested his aid in securing her trunk and asked for protection. True to his word, the brave policeman locked up the poor girl, and with her he put Mrs. Steward and the two boys. This Parents Are Your Children IDLE?

After they had been combined two hours Mrs. Stewart grew uneasy about her small baby and rapped on the cell door. Officer, Sternagle, who had locked them up, came out and inquired "What do you want? You're not going to get out of here. We've got you where we want you and we are going to keep you there." He consented, however, to let her send one of the boys to telephone. She then asked Sternagle as to why she and the girl were being detained, at the same time standing in the cell door so the officer could not close it. Then the brute struck her with such force that she was knocked to her knees, but she pluckly held to the door so it could not be closed. Another officer, Howard, came, in at this time, and came to Sternagle's aid. By wrenching her arm almost one-off joint they broke her hold on the door and locked it. The boy, in stead of being allowed to telephone for information about the baby, was being detained in another cell. In some way word of their plight got out, and, as told in last week's Aog, the people across on masse and went to police headquarters. The chief, seeing that the people were arrested, released the women and children, who had been held for more than two hours as prisoners. The colored citizens of Westfield are indignant over the treatment accorded the girl Florina and Mrs. Stewart, and an indignation meeting was held to consider the matter. Decisive action was taken and Counselor William Wilson, 207 Broad street, Elizabeth, has been retrained to prosecute the offenders in this matter. The Strangers' Club, Mr. Cavalez president, has been uniring in stirring sentiment, and the matter will be thoroughly ventilated in the courts. Police Commissioner Wood at Urban League Police Commissioner Arthur Woods addressed a large audience at Mother A M E Zion Church on Thursday evening, August 10. The occasion was a mass meeting held by the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes Commissioner-Woods was introduced by Colonel Hayward, Public Service Commissioner, and colonel of the new Fortenth Regiment of colored troops now being organized in New York City. In speaking of the relationship between the work of the Urban League and the Police Department, Commissioner Woods said, "The work that the league is doing and tree work that the Police Department is trying to do are very much the same. The work of the Police Department has been broad in that we have tried to include in police work all activities that would prevent crime and all kinds of work that would make the city not merely a safer place to live in, but a more wholesome and a happier place. This, I understand, is also the work of your league. You are ZIP WASHES CLOTHES. No Rubbing. No Boiling. No Backsche. No Chapped Hands. ZIP Does It All. A 5c package washes four tubs of clothes.

That is the best kind of police work—just those things that you are doing. As far as I can see, you are doing this not only in New York, but in a dozen or more cities throughout the country. You are bringing the influence of your league—the better element—to bear upon the growing generation in such a way as to make it easy for the young to love happier lives and to make less tempting the lives of the thieves. We must never forget that most people are born about the same. Their good impulses are stronger than their evil impulses. Give them a fair chance and they will turn out to be pretty good people. A great many of them do not have a fair chance. Boys and girls who are born and have to be brought up in our big cities have the least chance. The moral boy, or girl wants to do right and will do right if it has a fair chance. We may say that there is a challenge to the city of New York to meet these troublesome civic problems; to try to lead the way to the best sort of solution of them for the sake of the rest of the country. You are helping to do that in the activities in which you enjoy to help the growing boys and girls. We haven't yet come anywhere near the solution. The police force is trying to do exactly the same sort of thing that the league is doing. We are helping clubs and organizations that have places where boys can engage in wholesome activities." Colohen Hayward, during the course of his remarks, thanked the colored people of Harlem for the support that had been given him in his efforts to equip the Fifteenth New York Regiment. He assured the audience that if the people and the men composing the regiment were as satisfied with the colonel as the colonel was with the men, that there was not the slightest bit of complaint on the Hillsworth Wood, president of the League, spoke of the educational advantages that association with the work of the League had given the white members who were closely associated with its activities. E K. Jones, executive secretary of the League in New York, appealed for membership among the colored people. He emphasized the pledge of Jonh D Rocketeller for one thousand dollars, which is dependent upon the raising of ten thousand dollars by the League for the year. Three weeks ago the League began a campaign to raise four hundred dollars (of this amount three hundred dollars is in hand, and it is believed by those in charge that the remainder will be in hand before the close of the week.

We have no idea of letting up. The Age is in a position to state that the white political chieftains are not blind to true conditions. They are just as anxious to see the colored voters properly organized as we are. They are not sentimentalists, but cold-blooded business men who want results. If, in the past, they have misunderstood the Negro, who, in turn has misunderstood them, it has not been due wholly to their own making. SOLDIERS OF THE SOUTH. Under the present Administration the South is running the Government and paying itself liberally for the job. But even when the South is not actually running the Government, it generally makes more noise than any other section of the country. To listen to it, any one who didn't know would suppose that the South was nine-tenths of the whole country. The following table gives by states the number of National Guard troops now doing active service on the Mexican border: State Number Connecticut 3,162 Delaware 550 District of Columbia 506 Maine 1,019 Maryland 3,252 Massachusetts 7,719 New Hampshire 1,017 New Jersey 4,265 New York 17,418 Pennsylvania 12,607 Rhode Island 663 Vermont 919 Virginia 1,898 Total 55,105 This table shows that out of fifty-five thousand troops in active service, less than two thousand are from the South. The next table gives the number of National Guard troops now in camp in the various states: State Number Alabama 3,450 Connecticut 925 Delaware District of Columbia 1,413 Puerto Rico 1,222 Georgia 3,937 Kentucky 2,751 Maine 136 Maryland 136 Massachusetts 191 Mississippi 1,278 New Hampshire 414 North Carolina 1,189 New Jersey 146 New York 1,511 Pennsylvania Rhode Island 2,350 South Carolina 2,388 Tennessee 258 Vermont 1,103 Virginia 1,103 West Virginia 1,056 Total 27,778 That is, out of twenty-eight thousand troops still in their state camps, twenty-five thousand of them are Southern troops. This is a striking comparison between the proud, fighting South, and the commercial, money-getting North. Former State Senator Joseph S. Frelinghuysen is a big favorite over all candidates seeking the G. O. P. nomination for United States Senator from New Jersey, and according to recent reports published in the daily press he stands an excellent chance of coming out the victor in the primaries soon to be held. This is good news to the colored voters of New Jersey, for they are whooping up things for Mr. Frelinghuysen and are eager to see him nominated and elected. The friendly attitude of the colored vote toward Mr. Frelinghuysen is due to his friendly views on the race question, which he has not hesitated to openly express. And he not only speaks out in favor of the Negro but his record shows him to be a man of deeds. THE NEW JIM CROW ORDERS IN WASHINGTON. No doubt, many of our readers were surprised to learn through an article published in last week's Age, that the activities of the Administration to completely establish Jim Crow restrictions for colored employees in the departments at Washington have not yet ceased. Our correspondent, whose name for obvious reasons we cannot divulge, writes us that the new orders taking effect on August 9 were promulgated by Colonel Harts, Military Aide to President Wilson and Superintendent of Public Buildings and Grounds. These orders specify certain lavatories and toilet rooms for the use of white women, white men and colored men employed in the State, War and Navy Departments. They state definitely that colored men employed in these departments, beginning August 9; should use during office hours only such toilets as are set aside for them. Nobody can be simple minded-enough to think that this Jim Crow policy in the Government departments has not, at least, the tacit sanction of the Administration. If President Wilson himself were not deep down in his heart in favor of just this sort of thing, he would long ago have cut it out root and branch. Whatever may be said about vagueness of Democratic policies, this much must be admitted: the existing breed of that party went into power with one well-defined policy, and that was the elimination and humiliation of the Negro. The writer is reliably informed that in certain small Southern towns the postmasters have established Jim Crow windows for the delivery of mail. Such a thing has never been done before and could not possibly be done now, if it did not accord with the sentiments of the Administration at Washington. Heretofore however much discriminated against otherwise, the American Negro has always felt that by the Federal Government he was looked upon as a man, entitled to the common rights and privileges. Heretofore, a colored man has been enabled to feel when he crossed the threshold of a Federal Government building, North or South, that he left on the outside all of those petty discriminations, all of those openly insulting and humiliating Jim Crowisms with which his daily life is beset. Under the present Administration this is no longer true. Does the colored American realize the position he is in? Does he comprehend the ultimate intention of his enemies? Is he willing to contend with all the strength at his command for the things that vitally concern his future in this country? It is sometimes easy to feel that the man least interested in the things vital to the future of the Negro is the Negro himself. It is often easier to interest him in anything else than in the fight for those fundamental rights upon which his future, if it is to be a future worth having, must rest. In this city, pleasure seems to be the great goal of the crowd. We do not believe it an overdawn statement to say if a law were passed in this state disfranchising colored citizens, and funds were needed to fight the law, that at no one race meeting called for that purpose could the sum of three thousand dollars in cash be raised; yet a well-advertised ball at Manhattan Casino can bring forth between three and four thousand hard, cash dollars. This trait may not be peculiar to the Negro, it may be common to humanity; but while other people can afford to indulge it, we cannot. We must wake up! We must bestir ourselves! We must stop laughing about the things that demand our serious thought. We must stop frittering away the strength and resources which should be devoted to the struggle of securing our place, of maintaining our very existence in this country. THE WOMEN'S VOTES. range that the effective blow he would cause the Administration to run, so great a paper as The World Day as the following, is indeed surprising. Theory of the bosses of the National Worries of 2,000,000 women to sell to the History of Mr. Hughes that he has bought,orsing a Suffrage amendment to the Censors, Mr. Hughes proposes that in order to of the United States shall be put on the History of States that represent a minority of the suffrage in the domestic affairs of State the population.

Should that on reflection, The World cold type the last paragraph of the references to "petticoated bosses not fit to vote and ought to be the masse" will arise many times to political party between now and Now in the gods-would destroy, they first It is not strange that the effective blows being delivered by Mr. Hughes should cause the Administration to run amuck; but that they should cause so great a paper as The World to come out in an editorial so silly as the following, is indeed surprising: It is the theory of the bosses of the National Woman's Party that they have the votes of 2,000,000 women to sell to the highest bidder. It is the theory of Mr. Hughes that he has bought these votes for himself by indorsing a Suffrage amendment to the Constitution of the United States. In other words, Mr. Hughes proposes that in order to get these votes the Constitution of the United States shall be put on the auction block and that the Legislature of States that represent a minority of the population shall regulate the suffrage in the domestic affairs of States that represent a majority of the population. We shall not discuss the political morality of that transaction at this time. It seems to differ in no way from the method, by which political bosses secure the vote in certain cities and by which a Hannized Republican Party obtained the solid support of Wall Street. It is simply traffic in government. If 2000,000 women voters can be delivered by their petticoated bosses through such a corrupt bargain, those women are not fit to vote and ought to be disfranchised. The morality of American politics is low enough without having it further debanched by the sale of a sex en masse. The question raised by The World that the women propose to sell their votes to the highest bidder, is too absurd for serious consideration. What would the women be expected to do but give their votes to the candidate who pledged himself most fully to secure for them the right for which they are contending? There is no doubt that on reflection, The World will regret ever having put into cold type the last paragraph of this editorial. It is certain that the references to "petticoated bosses." "corrupt bargain," "women not fit to vote and ought to be disfranchised" and "sale of sex en masse" will arise many times to plague The World and the Democratic party between now and November 7. Truly, whom the gods would destroy, they first make mad. WILSONIAN CONSISTENCY. Filson wrote a letter last week to t o, a woman's organization, in which suffrage for women. In one part e strongest forces behind equal suffrage. President Wilson wrote a letter last week to the Jane Jefferson Democratic Club, a woman's organization, in which he outlined his position on equal suffrage for women. In one part of the letter Mr. Wilson said: "One of the strongest forces behind equal suffrage sentiment of the country is the now demonstrated fact that in suffrage States women interest themselves in public questions, study them thoroughly, form their opinions and divide as men do concerning them." THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 17, 1916. It would be natural to conclude from these words that the President believed the vote to be a good thing for women, that they ought to have it, and that the quickest and surest method of securing it for them should be adopted. This conclusion, however, is weakened when we read the following paragraph from the same letter: "Both great political parties of the nation have in their recent platforms favored the extension of suffrage to women through State action and I do not see how their candidates can consistently disregard these official declarations. I shall endeavor to make the declaration of my own party in this matter effectual by every influence that I can properly and legitimately exercise." Mr. Hughes has gone beyond the platform of the Republican party and declared that personally he is in favor of a constitutional amendment which would remove sex as a barrier to the suffrage. Mr. Wilson's words intimate that he, too, would be glad to come out for a constitutional amendment, except for the fact that he is bound and limited by the platform of his party. He does not see how the candidates "can consistently disregard these official declarations." Now, these solemn assertions about strict adherence to the official declarations of party platforms might carry some weight were it not for President Wilson's record on that point. The Baltimore platform pledged the candidate of the Democratic party to the principle of a single term: Mr. Wilson is a candidate for a second term. The Baltimore platform insisted the principle of free use of the Panama Canal for American seastwise ships; Mr. Wilson used his great powers as President to have the law repealed which granted that privilege to American ships. So much for the sanctity with which Wilson regards platform pledges. The truth of the matter is, President Wilson has never been in favor of woman suffrage, and is not in favor of it now. He showed that plainly in his first interview with a committee of suffragists at the White House. What he has since said favoring it, he has been forced to say. His sacred regard for the platform pledges on this point fails to carry the conviction of sincerity. IMPORTANT MEETINGS, PLACE AND DATE. Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E., Philadelphia, Pa., August 20-25.

The lower house is in favor of the sale, but the upper house will, oppose it. It would be interesting to know what the residents of the Islands, who are largely colored people, think of the sale. If the terms of the treaty call for a vote by the Islanders, there is considerable doubt that the colored population would vote to change themselves from subjects of Denmark to colonists of the United States; that is, if they knew what they were doing DELAYED ACTION On July 29 the Senate passed a resolution appealing for clemency for Sir Roger Casement. The message was despatched to the British Government in the afternoon of the same day set for the execution of Casement, that is, on August 2. As there is a difference of some five hours between Washington time and London time, the message sent from here in the afternoon arrived late at night, when Sir Roger was already dead and cold. This seems to be a case of waiting without being watchful. Gen Carranza's intimation that he is ready to turn the railroads of Mexico over to their owners will give investors here and elsewhere more satisfaction than all the scolding speeches Mr. Hughes can deliver between now and November—New York Herald. If we held any stock in Mexican railroads, we would place more faith in Mr. Hughes' speeches than in Carranza's intimations. WASHINGTON, Aug 14—Senator Chilton today introduced a bill to appropriate $200,000 for relief of victims in the recent flood in West Virginia. It was referred to the Appropriations Committee—News Item. How much further does Congress intend to carry this thing of looting the National Treasury for the benefit of one section of the country? WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY I am a subscriber of your paper, and I noticed several articles that I would like to express my theory on. I am a decided race woman and interested in the Negro in every respect. There are a few remarks I would like to make regarding politics. I have never attended any political meetings, but read a great deal concerning same. I noticed the article of Vir. Arthur Shaw, speaking of "A One Man Race." I am much of the opinion of Mr. Shaw in speaking that our race is not a one man race, but in time past it has seemed very much that way. I feel that every Negro of to-day should be more in unity with one another and during time for election should study the person running for office, and not accept a broad grn, an automobile ride around the country, or get the money. But consider the welfare of the race and support the man that is for the race. My opinion is that Mr. Frelinghuysen is the Negros friend and that every Negro should support him during this campaign. He is the only candidate running during this campaign that is interested in the Negro race. For instance, the interest he has in the Bordentown school. I remember during the time of the primary election of ex-Governor Stokes he was going to do so much for the race What has he done? To-day we have Negroes capable of holding any position. All he needs is a chance and support, and if the Negroes of to-day would be more in unity with one another and not try to down each other simply because he cannot lead the race they would be far better off. I believe every man should consider this election and not vote as he did during President Wilson's administration. Mr. Wilson stated, when Mr. Trotter went to interview him, that he did not ask for the Negro's vote, nor did he wish it. The damage done the Negroes since the Wilson administration cannot be amended for twenty years to come Negroes, be in unity with one another. I trust the professional and business Negroes of New York who head the list of officers of the Elks Association will consider that it every Negro felt as they have their professions and businesses would not be of service to them. Who are you depending upon for a living—the Negro or the white man? Negroes support the ones who support you. I would like to say to Mr. James W Johnson, contributing editor, that I admire so much the clean, moral way he has in publishing the statistics of the Negro race. MARGARET H. PETTERSON. 639 East 3d street, Plainfield, N. J. TIME TO SPEAK OUT. (From the Boston Chronicle.) The esteemed New York Age has lived long and well. Through adversity and prosperity it has rendered aid and service to the cause nearest its heart. In spite of this long and enviable record The Age is now rendering the greatest service of its career, through its efforts to hold publicity, to struct accountability, the Negro delegates to the recent Republican National Convention at Chicago. * * * The lead of The Age in the fight for the Negroes' political redemption, from the oppressive conditions imposed by the Negro politicians' selfishness, will be followed to "the consummation decontety * * * wished" by most of the colored newspapers. For, after all, the successful newspaper's opinions are but the composite expressions of its clientele's opinions; and it is true 99 per cent of colored readers are discussed with the result of Negro political "misleadership" which they are ready and anxious to attack at the source. We assure The Age of our support to attain the desired end; it is time to speak out. KANSAS CITY. KAN Kansas City, Kan.-The Rev. John C.

Billie Burke, the New Lincoln's manager, resumed the reins of the duties of his office last week after having been away on a half month's vacation in the mountain wilds. Jack Dempsey, who is Mr Burke's valued assistant, upon whom the conditions of weather has no apparent effect, is busy with his end of keeping a number of high-grade acts booked. Mr. Dempsey states that new and original colored singers, doubles and trios can always secure dates at the New Lincoln on good salaries. The "School of Drama" which was instituted by the management of this theatre early last spring, for the purpose of supplying an opportunity of learning free of charge the "art of acting," has progressed wonderfully under the direction of Mr. Burke. More than a score of the students give evidences of surprisingly fine promise. On August 30 the great Beatrice Fairfax screen drama,which will be released just two days previous, will be shown at the New London Theatre. LAFAYETTE PLAYERS BALTIMORE, Mn.-The twenty players of the Lafayette Stock Company who appeared at the Colonial Theatre, this city, in "The Third Degree" last week were an angry lot on Saturday, when each one was required to put up $1 for a health permit so they get to New York City where infantile paralysis has been raging. It was not the health certificate that "got their goat" but the fact that they were $19 out, as a blanket permit, costing only $1, would have served the purpose. The Colonial Theatre is now closed until September 4, pending repairs required by the city, so that the gallery exits may be made "adequate." This demand was made after certain prejudiced trade merchants, enjoying a good colored trade, opposed a colored stock company apearing at the theatre. The Colonial Theatre will reopen with "The Smart Set," after which the stock company will reappear. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS "The Colored American Winning His Suit" is being shown at the Blue Mouse Theatre, Washington, and at the Palace Theatre, Atlantic City, this week.

Sporting Notes Sporting Notes At Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue, before the largest crowd of fight fans that ever turned out to witness a mix bout in New York since the ban has been lifted, Leo Johnson, the colored lightweight champion of the world, defeated Vic Moran, the lightweight from New Orleans, in the star bout of the evening. Johnson conceded several pounds to his opponent, but it did not stop him from showing superiority over Moran in every round of the ten they fought. The dark-skinned fighter was so fast and clever that he had Moran hitting the air, trying to connect with some part of Johnson's body. At the end of the ten rounds Moran was very tired from his over-exertion. Had the bout gone any further Johnson would surely have put Moran away. Johnson is now fighting at top speed. The men he is meeting these days are the hardest and the best, in their class, but the way he is polishing them off stamps him as the best boy in the 133-pound class in the world, white or colored. The fight fans surely know a good fighter when they see one, because every time Johnson fights he not only brings out the colored fight fans but the white ones, too, and he is now the best drawing card in New York, white or colored Johnson has to give away weight in most of his fights on account of the boys at his weight refusing to meet him. Johnson shows his gameness by fighting any boy his manager sources for him, regardless of the weight, and he has never lost a decision. Weights—Johnson, 132, Vic Moran, 139. Mark Spencer, the crack colored fighter from Boston, who has been fighting with great success aorund New York for some time, and who has beaten the best boys at his weight in the world, met Jack Russo, the great little Italian fighter from New Orleans. This bout was marked with pelty of action on the part of both boys, who fought hard in every round, trying to take the lead away from each other. Spencer tried hard to end the fight in the third round when he caught Russo with a crashing right on the point of the jaw and the white boy sagged in the knees but did not go down, and as soon as he got his head clear he fought like a tiger. Spencer received some awful wallops from his opponent, and from this round on it was nip and tuck up to the tenth round, when Spencer showed his class as he waded in with both hands and had Russo in bad shape when the bell sounded to end this great fight, which Spencer won by a slight margin. Mr Raymond will make a wise move if he matches these two boys again in the near future. Weights—Spencer, 124; Russo, 125 The preliminaries were just as interesting. all of the boys being evenly matched. The colored fighters got the best of all of the bouts. First four-round bout: Bob Hogan, colored, bested Young Mitchell, white Weights—Hogan, 125; Mitchell, 125. Second bout: Billy Mitchell, white, quit to Kid Bryant, colored, in the third round Weights—Williams, 125. Bryant, 126. Kid Baility of Harlem knocked Young Ryan in the second, round with a right on the jaw. Kid Bacon bested Billy West in the last bout of the evening. At the Harlem Sporting Club, 135th HARLEM SPORTING CLUB 14-28 East 135th Street FRIDAY NIGHT, AUG. 18, 1916 ALL-STAR BOXING CARD NERO CHINK vs. JOHNNY GILL WEE WEE BARTON vs. JACK CLIFFORD Admission 50c. Reserves $1 & $2 street and Madison avenue, on next Friday evening, August 1b, an all-star card has been arranged for the fight fans by matchmaker Lew Raymond. In the star bout of the card will be Nero Chink, the fighting Cuban, who is now one of the best boys at his weight in the world, white or colored, and who is really making all his opponents step that he meets. In a recent bout at this club he took the measure of one of the toughest boys the game produces, Dave Kurtz of Newark. After conceding to him several pounds, Chink gave him the grandest lacing Mr. Kurtz ever received since he has been fighting. Nero Chink will try and add another victim to his good record when he meets Johnny Gill in the star bout of the evening, and, fans, this will be some bout. Wee Wee Barton the boy who every fight fajks to the fight because of his aggressiveness and the way he makes all of his opponents fight, as he does not let any of his men rest when in the ring with him. Barton is another fighter who never says no about fighting any one on account of weight. All he asks is to have a man in the ring, and he surely will be entertained before he gets out. Jack Clifford, whom he meets in the final bout of the evening, will know he has been fighting before the expiration of the ten rounds. There will also be three four-round bouts and one six on the same card. Wee Wee Barton will leave immediately after this bout for Philadelphia, where he meets on August 23 Young Lowery, the boy who fought around here several months ago. Harlem Sporting Club (Hammels Station). Far Rockaway—Ted Hayes, colored, made a quick finish of the much-heralded Japanese fighter, Cartuska, by knocking him out in one round. Clermont A. C. Brooklyn—On last Monday night Battling Gans of New York met Johnny Howard of Bayonne in the star bout, and after fighting ten rounds which was full of action and hard hitting by both men, Gans was entitled to the decision by a slight margin. Empire A C, 107th street and Lexington avenue—McMahon Bros, have come to the conclusion that there is money in mixed bouts and will stage one at their club on Thursday evening, August 24, and after much dickering they have persuaded another white boy who had drawn the color line to consent to fight a colored boy. The star bout will bring together Patsy Cline, the fighting Irishman from the East Side, and that clever boy who has beaten them all and 'is open to meet any one in the world at his weight, Leo Johnson, the colored lightweight champion of the world BASEBALL Penn. Red Cap Take Second Game. At Lenox Oval lest Wednesday, the second game between Penn and Grand Central Red Caps was played and the famous Penn boys again exhibited their superiority by winning the second straight game of the series. Culver again pitched a masterful game, striking out 16, allowing only three runs to white and Craig's 5. To the sixth inning the score was 2-2. Culver and Jackson, batteries for Penn, were well supported in the field. The fielding of Fulcher and Wickary, for the Grand Central boys, was in professional style. Booker, for Penn, was also loudly applauded when he made a sensational catch in left field. A double play by Penn in the third inning threw the crowd into an uproar. The Penn-rooters, red by Casey Jones, waving a large Penn banner, kept up great encouragement for the boys Score. Penn . 0 0 2 0 0 1 2 0 - 5 8 2 Grand Cent . 0 0 0 2 0 0 1 0 - 3 5 5 Batteries—Penn, Culver and Jackson; Grand Central, White, Craig and Young; Umpire, W Pierce. The Penn Red Caps baseball club is open now to play any semi-pro baseball team in the business and be willing to wager a large sum of money that they will defeat any team in a series of games. Penn Red Caps team is con- ducted by the following men: S. A. Jordan, manager; John Ellen, assistant manager, T. Vaughan, treasurer, W. Tartt, secretary. Olympic Field, August 13—Lincoln Giants and the Cuban Stars played two very interesting and close games before a very large crowd of baseball fans, and to the surprise of most all of the Cuban rooters who were present the Lincoln Giants annexed both games to their record. The Stars gave them a stubborn fight before they were defeated, the first contest going eleven innings, both teams using two pitchers. Banks, starting for the Lincoln, was hit very hard and gave away to Joe Williams, who won his own game with a terrific drive over the Madison avenue fence with two out and two men on the bases and two strikes on him. Saurez started for the Stars, but gave away in the fifth inning to Armentero, who pitched grand ball up to the time Williams laced one of his inshoots over the fence. The second game was featured with fast fielding on the part of both teams and terrific hitting. But the Lincolns carried off the honors. Forbes, the shortstop of the Lincolns, showed his friends and team-mates that he found his lost batting eye by hitting two home runs in this game. Teran, the second baseman of the Stars, was the fielding star of the game. Williams continued for the Lincolns and Armeniato for the ANNUAL Field Day & Basket Picnic OF THE Alpha Physical Culture Club, Inc. At ULMER PARK, Foot of 25th Avenue, Brooklyn, N. Y.

It was one of the best played games seen on these grounds. The game was featured with sharp fielding and fine pitching on both sides, but the hitting was very light. The fielding honors, were carried off gy Culver, the Penn's great little shortstop, who was all over the field, but the batting honors were awarded to Anderson, the center fielder of the Monarchs, who walloped one of Pitcher Edwards inshoots to deep center field for a three-base hit with three men on bases. This proved to be the winning hit. Jones, who pitched for the Monarchs, pitched a masterly game and struck out twelve Red Caps. Johnson, the first baseman of the Red Caps, was the only one able to solve Jones' pitching. He hit safe three times, one being a two-bagger. Hatchett, the shortstop, played a fine game for the Monarchs Griffin, Fial, Fuller and Lee also. Bradford saved the game for the Monarchs when he went back near the left field fence and pulled down a terrible drive of Jackson, the catcher for the Penn Red Caps.
