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-

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. Men of every call, creed and color, here, and unless they be seen here in the North Woods onement for the past few times, the col- here and that time, and to ol. ol. ol. when anything come are always there and there in way.
Wilson Put on Soft Pedal.
No, we couldn't see it any other way and thought it was all over but the shouting a few weeks ago after the happenings around one Carrizal, but the soft word of the whiskered one in the land of manana turned away the wrath we felt sure to come. But Mr. W. W, noted patient of Dr. Rockwell, and eminent authority on the etimology of war, selected some years ago by one W. J. B, and elected by a certain T. R., comes suddenly forward with the announcement that there'll be no big fight to-day, (continued on page two)
TO LOCATE ON THE SEA ISLANDS OFF S. CAROLINA (Special to The New York An.)
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.

MRS. MARY B. 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. Nugent, Kentucky, corresponding secretary; Miss Roberta Dunbar, Province, R. I. first recording secretary; Mrs. Charlotte

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.

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-

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.

HEMSTEIN, N. Y.-The reception given the pastor of the Jackson Memorial A. M. E. Zion Church under the auspices on the board of stewardesses was a success, notwithstanding the great ram which fell. Mrs. Angeline Treduell, president, and the members deserve credit for the arrangements. A handsome purse was given to the pastor. Services last Sunday were well attended. The Rev. M. L. Hardy preached at the evening service. The choir is rendering excellent service. The lawn party this week was a success. The Rev. Mr Hardy left Wednesday morning for Atlantic City.

THURSDAY, AUG. 17, 1916
The Age's fight against incapable political leadership is still on. 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. "I do not discuss the political morality of that which to differ in no way from the method, I the vice vote in certain cities and by which obtained the solid support of Wall Street. 0 women voters can be delivered by such a corrupt bargain, those women as disfranchised. The morality of America having it further debauched by the sale of an raised by The World that the war to the highest bidder, is too absurd that would the women be expected to candidate who pledged himself most for which they are contending? 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.

THE DANISH WEST INDIES.
The Danish Congress is now considering the sale of the Danish est Indies to the United States for $25,000,000. 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.

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.

Mrs. Mary G Downs, at the New Lincoln Theatre, is providing this week a bill of extraordinarily good variety acts, supplemented with an everyday change of the very highest class first-run photo plays. 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.

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.

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

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.

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

Lenox Oval, 145th street and Lenox avenue.-Monarch 45 of Elks and the Penn Red Caps met in the second game of their series on these grounds on Tuesday afternoon before a fair crowd of baseball fans. 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. Score:
Monarchs ..... 000 030 000—3 4 2
