The New York Age IS CLEAN. ONCB IT BECOMES A MEMBER OF THE FAMILY IT IS ALWAYS LOOKED FOR AND WELCOMED. SOUTH AGAINST LABOR EXODUS Would Prevent Negro Laborers from Coming North to Seek Employment. PREVENTIVE LAWS ENACTED Ordinance Enforcing License/Fee of $1,000 on Labor Agents and Prohibiting Residents from Working with Them. URBAN LEAGUE AGENT HELD Georgia Taking Strenuous and Illegal Means to Stop Migration of Laborers -Savannah Man Arrested and Twenty-Six College Students Hold as Witnesses, but Case Is Dismissed by City Recorder. (An unexpected development brought about through the employment by northern railroad companies and other industrial organizations of large numbers of Negro laborers is the action taken by certain southern States to prevent this class of labor from leaving that section. Georgia and Florida are offering the most conspicuous examples in this particular, as is shown by the attitude of law officers in those States.) (Special to The New York Agn.) (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) SAVANNAH, GA.-James H. Butler, associate editor and manager of the Savannah Tribune, and assistant secretary of the Savannah branch of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which has its home office in New York City, was arrested on August 11 and placed under $1,500 bail on the charge of sending labor out of the State, in violation of both the city and State law. Seventeen college students, young men who were en route to the tobacco fields of Connecticut for summer work, were also arrested at the docks of the Ocean Steamship Line, and detained in cells over night as witnesses. Twenty-six students who had already boarded the steamer for New York were not held. These young men, while in school, were engaged by the National Urban League under an arrangement with the tobacco growers of Hartford, Conn, and they were to take the places of workers who had sought other lines because of increased opportunities brought about through war conditions. Most of the contracts had been made by mail from the New York office of the League, and the students assembled here and at Norfolk, Va, where representatives of the League looked after them, supplying the transportation which had been furnished by the tobacco growers and arranging for them to get away to the long trip. Mr Butler and Sol C. Johnson, editor of the *Tribune*, had foreseen the possibility of legal complications, and several works ago called on the assistant attorney and asked for his opinion on the work Mr. Butler was doing for the League. This official advised that arrangement for sending students to the college fields of Connecticut did not conflict an any way with the immigration laws of the State. About twenty-five hundred students have been sent from Savannah to Norfolk, representing colleges and schools from all sections of the South. Case Was Promptly Dismissed When the case against Mr. Butler was heard by the city recorder on Saturday morning it was promptly dismissed. The only testimony was given by Mr. Lindsay and one of the students. On Monday following, the twenty-six students with ten additional who came in the morning, took the steamer for New York. The action was taken by the city authorities following the efforts of agents for Northern railroads who had more than three thousand Negro laborers away from this port within the past few weeks. In order to check the work of these agents the city council passed a special ordinance assessing a tax fee of $1,000 on any one contract with an employment agent sendler from this city outside the State. Two of the railroad agents, were arrested but their cases were dismissed. Another was circulated later that on the following Monday two labor trains would leave for the North from a point near outside the city limits, and more than two thousand men and women assembled at that point awaiting the arrival of the trains. A crowd of about one thousand was attracted out of curiosity all day Monday, Monday night and until 10 o'clock at night, where we waited in the vain hope of securing transportation to the northern Honduras, where plenty of work at labor wages could be obtained. Arrested on Train. On Wednesday press dispatches brief the information that a party of militants in Neuro laborers from America were arrested by policemen at their sheriffs, accompanied by the police officer after the laborers had secured their transportation and boarded a train for Syracuse. In order to carry on their intentions, the officers secured John Doe State warrants, charging misdemeanors. Boarding the train on which the laborers were embarking, the offi- cers waited until the cars were in motion. Then all the Negroes with transportation for the North were detrained at Leslie, and later carried back to Americus in automobiles. It was stated that the laborers would be held pending legal operations to stop the wholesale emigration from that section. Of the crowd of two thousand who were disappointed at Four Mile Crossing, by the non-arrival of the labor trains, more than three hundred bought transportation and left for the North, anyway. Mayor Calla Negroes in Conference. Arposed by the exodus of laborers, the mayor of Savannah called about thirty of the leading Negro citizens into a conference, on the subject, for the purpose of discouraging the immigration movement, the mayor declaring that local concerns would be crippled by the lack of desirable laborers. He urged that Negro laborers would find climatic disadvantages in the North, the extreme cold of winter making them susceptible to tuberculosis. Spokesmen for the Negro delegation did not agree with the mayor and insisted that there was no shortage of labor as a result of the recent exoduses. It was pointed out that hundreds of Negroes were idle because of their inability to secure work, and those who were able to find employment were paid miserably low wages—wages in Savannah being lower than is paid anywhere else in the State. In view of this fact, it was stated, the leaving of thirty-five hundred Negro laborers was beneficial, and the Negro representatives could not advise against the leaving of any others who wanted to go. Offers to Furnish all Labor Needed. The attention of the mayor was directed to the activities of a white minister of Savannah in reference to labor questions, the minister referred to having been the cause of hundreds of Negro brickmasons, carpenters and laborers being thrown out of employment. The efforts of this minister were mainly to bring about the supplanting of Negro artisans with white men. As a proof of their assertion that labor was plentiful, the representatives told the mayor that the Negro Business League would undertake to furnish all the laborers wanted in response to any demand for same. Speaking editorially of the arrest of the men at Americus and of the detention of the students here in Savannah, the Savannah Tribune had the following to say: All lovers of liberty will stand abashed at the action of the sherif and his deputies at Americus in attacking the local government, leaving that locality in order to secure work to better their condition. It is a great reminder of the days of slavery and other countries where free actions are prohibited. The main cause of the present unrest among the laboring class of our people can be rightly traced to such actions as enacted by the governor. Admonition was taken of those men, and some of (Continued on page five) 4.100 LABORERS ARE HIRED BY PENN. R. R. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) PHILADELPHIA, Pa.—When the Pennsylvania Railroad brought in a special train, running in six sections, last week, with three thousand Negro laborers from Georgia, it brought the total of laborers brought from the South by that road to more than 4,100. This last crowd was immediately placed in 'camp at 51st street and Columbia avenue, and will be distributed along the divisions east of Pittsburgh. Some of them will go as far west as Buffalo, N. Y. The ages of the men range from 16 to 60, and they show every indication of being happy at reaching this section of the country. The Negro's innate love for music is a characteristic trait of these men, and at night they fill the air with music, both with their voices and from all sorts of instruments. Many of the laborers have been put to work on the main line between Philadelphia and Coatesville, taking the places of Italians, and they are making good, according to the officials of the road. ALABAMA NEGROES CHICAGO, IL — Seventy-five Negroes were brought to Chicago by Morris & Company and given employment in their yards. The men had been employed in the packing houses in Alabama. The men are more than making good and some of them intend bringing their families to Chicago for permanent residence. WASHINGTON MILITIA (Special to The New York Age) NACO, Ariz.—The 1st Separate Battalion, District of Columbia Militia, a colorization unit, has been stationed at this camp since July 9. This is one of the few colored militia organizations in the country, and is made up entirely of colored men, from commanding officers down. This organization has in its ranks many government clerks, students and graduates of the Washington, D. C., high school, and student of Howard University, and it is safe to say that no other colored organization in the country has in its ranks such a high average of intelligence. Among the officers are men holding high positions as teachers in the Washington public schools. The men of this command have made quite a good impression here by their department. Major John Howard, of the regular army, son of the late General Oliver O Howard, for whom Howard University is named, is camped with the battalion, he being on duty as inspector-instructor with the District of Columbia militia, and this being the largest unit from the District that has yet gotten away for duty on the border. DREW'S TRACK CAREER ENDED BY PARALYSIS PARALYSIS RESULT OF. HURT Doctor Attributes Present Condition Indirectly to Injury Sustained in New York Last March-Drew Ran August 19 at San Diego and the Exertion Proved Too Much for the Wonderful Runner. (Special to The New York Age.) Los Angeles, Cal.-It is more than probable that Howard P. Drew, the world's champion sprinter, holder of the world's record for 100 years, may never put on the spiked shoes or don the running trunks again. He is reported to be suffering from a stroke of paralysis, due to the dislocation of a vertebra, and his left side is said to be affected. The paralysis is the indirect result, it is believed, of an injury sustained by Drew last March when he was competing in an indoor race in New York. He had never entirely recovered from it, although the effects were not noticed when training for the Far West tryouts at San Diego, Cal., which were held Saturday, August 19. He was unplaced in both the 100 and 220 yard dashes, but it was not known until later that he was in a serious condition. T. Morris Dunn, a member of the national championship committee of San Diego, states that in Saturday's tryouts Drew severely strained his back, and that it is more than probable the injury may paralyze him for life. Drew's Record Unequalled. Drew's record on the cinder path is unequalled in the records of athletics. He probably holds more world's records than any one runner, having either beat or equalled all the records prior to his time for most of the distances up to 220 yards. He holds the record of 0:09-3-5 for the 100 yards, and has equalled the record of 0:21-1-5 for the 220-yard, dash. He holds the world's records for most of the other short distances. When the American athletes went to Stockholm in 1912 to compete in the Olympic games, Drew was a member of the team, and it was conceded that he had the 100-metre race at his mercy. In the preliminaries and semi-finals he literally smothered his opponents, winning as he pleased. But fate was unkind, and he pulled a tendon just prior to the finals, and was unable to run again. As a consequence he had to sit on the sidewalk to watch the world's championship go to another. Drew's physician has made a careful preliminary examination and gives as his opinion that to participate in sprints in the future might prove too severe a strain for the spine. It may be, however, that Drew's wonderful constitution will stand in good stead, and the injury proves to be only temporary. Made Reputation at Springfield. As a student of the high school at Springfield, Mass., Drew first gained prominence as a runner. He carried the colors of that institution to victory in every meet in which he participated. When he returned from Sweden in 1912 he went to California and entered the University of Southern California, which institution he has represented until now. Some of his most notable performances were achieved under the ballet skies of southern California. He was expected to come east for the national championships. The Far West tryouts were held for the purpose of selecting the athletes to represent the West at Newark. He was eliminated from track events it is more than probable that his mantle will fall on the little New York sprinter, Roy F. Morse, who came to California last year and annexed the junior championship at 100 yards and the senior championship at 220 yards. Several other colored boys, including Irving Howe and Sol Butler, may prove to be real competitors at the short distances that Morse, on past performances, looks to be the most promising DR. JERNAGIN CALLS (Special to THE NEW-YORK ACK.) WASHINGTON, D. C. A call signed by the Rev. W. H. Jernagam of this city as chairman and the Rev. Wm. Alexander of Baltimore as secretary, has been sent out asking the leaders of the race to meet in conference in Washington, D. C., September 10 to 16, at Mt. Carmel Baptist Church, Third and I streets, northwest. "Ministers' conferences, fraternal organizations and other Negro organizations are requested to send representatives. It is proposed to take up 'every phase of the Negro status in this nation,' and it is intended to memorialize congress and those in authority. Attention is called to the fact that no funds are available for necessary expenses, and those attending are expected to send in a contribution. MORE THAN 80 YEARS (Special to THE NEW YORK AOL.) CLARKSBURG, N.Y.--After eighty eight years of service one family, Mrs. Ellen Washington Brown died August 10 at the age of 92. Mrs. Brown was a slave in the Baker family and remained with them after emancipation. She died in her home on the estate of Mrs. Lois Baker Musgrave at Stealey's Heights. She was cared for by Mrs. Musgrave. THURSDAY, AUGUST 1916. In THE AGE of June 29, history was published based on an interview with the Rev. William R. Richardson, pastor of the A. M. E. Mission, Livetpool, N.S., which told of some unpleasant conditions existing in that town. Some slight discrepancies have caused the minister to ask that the following corrections be made: There are from two to three hundred colored people in the town; there has been a faction that controlled affairs politically; cases have come before his notice where girls from 14 years up, colored and white, have been taken advantage of by men of the town; two men, one a lawyer, the other a Negro, have secured several valuable pieces of property from uneducated colored people; it is said that the daughter of the colored man was connected with Allen, who shot Lawyer Johnson of Halifax; property owned by a mayor is said, was formerly owned by colored people. The Rev. Mr Richardson declares that complaints to the authorities; concerning these deplorable conditions, have been met with excuses and statements that these conditions do not exist. He declares that it is time something was done to bring about a better state of affairs. In this connection, the Rev. Mr. Richardson has submitted the following letter to THE AGE, embracing a series of questions he would be glad to have answered by Mr. Hagan, a colored resident of Liverpool: To the Editor of The AGE: Will you kindly remedy the mistake made in your valuable paper, with reference to Liverpool. Nova Bootis, and will you ask through your columns of Mr. Hagan, the colored man of Liverpool, if he will kindly answer these questions: (1) How did he come into possession of Mrs. Smith's property and did he pay an honest price for it? If so, how is it she is in her present condition? (2) How is it, concerning an old colored lady by name of Mrs. Stoutly, who came into money, and had property, that he came to get hold of her affairs when she had a large family who could have controlled them, and now this poor old lady has to depend on her grandchildren and daughter for support? (3) How did he come by the land his house now stands on? If he gave an honest price for it, how is it the heirs have seen none of the money (according to their statement)? (4) Is it true that his daughter was living with Allen in Mr. Johnson's house during his absence? Is it true she was arrested, found in a disorderly house, and id it have anything to do with the quarrel brought on just before Lawyer Johnson of Haskay was shot? I shall be very pleased if the gentleman would answer these questions. (Rev.) WM. G. RICHARDSON, Pastor A. M. E. Mission, Liverpool, N. S. ATTACKS VALIDITY OF HITCHEN'S MARRIAGE BATTIMORE, Mr.—A third chapter was written Saturday in the contest over the $100,000 estate of the late James L. Hitchens, when his white adopted son attacked, through Attorney Warner T. McGunn, the validity of Hitchens' marriage to his white widow. The marriage took place at Harrisburg, Pa., last October, and is alleged to be void because Maryland laws do not permit such. An interesting question is involved, as it may bring the question of the intermarriage of the races to an issue. Attorneys Peter J. Campbell, German H. H. Hunt and Warner T. McGunn, the latter colored, who have been named as administrators of the estate were named as receivers, and bonded for $10,000. The receivership is to cover several valuable, properties owned by the testator. Young Hitchens is the principal legatee. The widow of the testator, who was only left a small share, at first filed a notice of contest for her dower rights, but later withdrew same. Hitchens left his three brothers—Ernest, John and Stephen Hitchens, the latter of New York City—$600 between them. They have contested the will through Attorneys Hawkins and McMechen. AGED WAR VETERAN Special to THE NEW YORK ACE. LINCOLN, N. J.—One of the notable characters of this community, James Bowles, died recently after long suffer- ing from cancer of the stomach. He was born here 84 years ago and has lived here all his life. He served throughout the Civil War and returned here at its close. He owned a small tarm on which he lived and his services were greatly in demand among neigh- boring farmers because of his skill in force building. He was also sexon of the colored cemetery. Mr. Bawles' wife died some years ago, but he is survived by five children— John Mack, Mrs. William Vernell, Miss Catherine Bowles and George Bowles, of Linroft, and Mrs. Sarah Dyser, of New York. "BIG WHEEL." FAMOUS CHATTANOOGAN, DEAD (Special to The New York Aon.) CHATTANOOGA, TENN. — The recent death of Addison Cole, known familiarly to thousands of Chattanoogans as "Big Wheel," removes a local character. He was nearly seven feet in height, and was frequently seen on the streets wearing a long frock coat and carrying a Bible under his arm. Since the Civil War he has been in the service of the Dugger family, 415 Popular street, and when he was taken sick four months ago, Mrs. C. C Dugger had him treated at the Erlanger Hospital and at the County Hospital, death, occurring at the latter place. The Duggers arranged for the funeral at Forest Hills cemetery and attended THOMAS WORKING FOR STEAM HEATING PLANT Rocky Wold Camp Is Owned by Mrs. M. A. Armstrong, Widow of the Late Gen. Samuel C. Armstrong, Founder of Hampton Institute- Voorhees is Offshoot of Hampton and Tuskegee Institutes. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) ASHLAND, N. H., Josee O. Thomas, principal of the Voorhees Industrial School, Denmark, S. C., ended a successful financial campaign with a large and enthusiastic meeting at the Rocky Wold Camp, Ashland, N. H. This camp is owned by Mr. M. A. Armstrong, writer of the late General Saml. C. Armstrong, the founder of Hampton Institute. On an evening recently the guests of the Rocky Wold Camp assembled in the spacious ding room to listen to an address from Principal Thomas on his aims and ambitions in carrying along the work at Voorhees. Principal Thomas spoke in part as follows: Along with the names of William Lloyd Garrison, John Brown, Harriet Beecher Stowe and Abraham Lincoln ranks the name of Samuel Chapman Armstrong so far as the members of my race are concerned. There is no name of any American citizen upon the names of the American men revered by our black men upon American soil than the name of Samuel Chapman Armstrong. Being associated with the Negro as a commanding officer in the Civil War, he had learned something of his ability and capabilities. With his confidence in the future of the Negro and with his disposition to solve his theory he established the Hampton Institute and thus led the way in industrial preparedness as a means of productive citizenship. Without a Hampton we would have had a Tuskegee. Without a General Armstrong we would not have had a Booker T. Washington. The influence of Hampton does not stop here. It goes on multiplying itself in the offshoots of Tuskegee. It seems, therefore, fitting and proper that Mrs. Armstrong, the wife of General Armstrong, and her distinguished guests here at this hotel, should turn aside from their regular evening's program to hear a word regarding the achievements and successes, as well as the needs of one of Hampton's most worthy grandchildren. The Voorhees Industrial School located at Denmark, S. C., is located in a section of the State where the Negro outnumbers the white man five to one and where the average length of school term is only 46 days per year. Through the generosity of the philanthropic people who have been donating to the work we have been able to keep our doors open seven months in the year. This school was founded by Miss Elizabeth Felden Wright, a toskie graduate, who gave her last full measure for the education of our people in "South Carolina. Voorhees Industrial School" except the current expense. It is necessary to raise $14,000 each year in order to close our school free of debt. Because of the financial depression caused by the European war it has become increasingly difficult to secure funds with which to carry on our work. This summer we are focusing all interest upon one special fund. We are trying to raise $5,000 with which to install steam heat in the girls' dormitory and academic buildings. $25 REWARD OFFERED FOR ALLEGED FUGITIVE 125 reward will be paid for information is to the whereabouts of that will effect his capture before the thirteenth of August, 1916.

LAGOS, Southern Nigeria; West Coast Africa.—The people of Southern Nigera felt the passing of Dr. Booker T. Washington, as keenly as the people of other parts of the world. Resolutions were adopted by various organizations of one kind and another. Resolution moved by S. M. Hardin and seconded by the Rev. G. W. Sadler was unanimously adopted. "The Yoruba Baptist Association in conference assembled at Abekoota, March 11, 1916, desire to place upon record their admiration of the life and appreciation of the work of the late Booker T. Washington, and to express their deep sorrow that such a valuable life as his was should have been cut o at the height of its usefulness. That Booker Washington was a great man there is no gainsaying. Tuskegger proves it. But Tuskegger—wonderful achievement as it is, is not the most valuable legacy a Washington has bequeathed to the Negro race. He has left it the legacy of the example of his busy and highly useful career, his blameless life, the influence of his work and words, the ability to raise himself from the gordd surroundings in which he grew up, to the pinnacle of greatness to which he attained. In his death the Negro race has lost a great leader, the like of whom it will probably never see again, just as the race is not likely ever to see another Attucks or Douglas, for the simple reason that the time that produced such men may not occur again. The death of Booker T. Washington leaves not only the Negro race but the white race also the poorer for having lost one of the world's workers. J. R. Williams was secretary of the meeting at the time the resolution was adopted. DR IETER PUSHES Newport, R. I—The Rev. H. N. Jeter, who has designated the pastorate of Shiloh Baptist Church so that he may give all his time to the development of the Pastors' and Laymen's Humane and Reform Movement, held a well-attended meeting in the interest of that organization in the Masonic Hall. Dr. Morgan-Jones, who is greatly interested in the good of the race, presided. Dr. Jeter attained the scope of his proposed work, and addresses in endorsement were made by the Rev. J. R. L. Digges of Baltimore, Max Levy, Dr. C. Brackett and the Rev. C. L. Miller, pastor of the Union Congregational Church. Resolutions presented by Theodore West and Martin Sutler were unanimously adopted.

Napier of Nashville, Tenn., Succeeds Dead Founder. More Than Three Thousand Delegates Attend Session Held at Kansas City, Mo.. August 16, 17 and 18. MEMORIAL SERVICES HELD Mammoth Convention Hall Packed with Throng which Gathered to Pay Tribute to Memory of Booker Washington, Whose Directing Genius Had Been the Inspiring Influence of Negro Business Men. (Special to The New York Agc.) KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The sixteenth annual session of the National Negro Business League, held in this city on August 16, 17 and 18, was the first session ever held without the presence of its founder and late president, the lamented Dr. Booker T. Washington, and like a minor strain running through a wonderful chorus, there was an undercurrent through all the proceedings that indicated the absence of an influence that could not be explained. More than three thousand delegates attended the sessions, and many matters of vital importance to the commercial, social and economic progress of the race were considered. Under the capable and masterful direction of Fortune J. Weaver, president of the Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City, assisted in every particular by his brilliant and charming wife, arrangements for the care, comfort and entertainment of the national body were thorough and complete. Great interest was manifested in the selection of a successor to the late President Washington, and it seemed to be the general consensus of opinion that no more worthy successor could be chosen than the Hon. James C. Napier of Nashville, Tenn. His election fol- NAPIER ro Business League for 1916—17 allowed as a matter of course. The only other change in the list of officers was the election of Watt Terry of Brookton Mass., as fourth vicepresident to succeed the late Philip J. Alston of Boston. A new office was created—that of transportation agent, and E. T. Atwell of Uxbridge Institute was elected. Memorial Services. The regular sessions were held at Vine, Street Baptist Church, 1825 Vine street, but probably the greatest interest manifested in any one session was shown in the memorial meeting in memory of the dead founder, which was held Wednesday night, August 16, in Convention Hall, 13th and Central streets. This meeting was called to order at 8 p. m., with an audition that packed every nook and corner in the immense auditorium. C. H. Calloway, chairman of the executive committee of the Negro Business League of Greater Kansas City, called the meeting to order, and after the opening exercises introduced Charles Banks of Mound Bayon, Miss., first vice-president of the national body, who presided during the memorial exercises. The memorial address was delivered by Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, secretary of the National Negro Business League, and formerly Private secretary to Dr. Washington. Then followed culogies of Dr. Washington by J. C. Napier, chairman of the executive committee of the National Negro Business League; Mrs. M. E. Rosenberger of Fort Smith, Ark., Dr. Robert Russa Moton, principal of Tuskegee Institute; Dr. R. E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Advocate, New Orleans; Fred R.

Report of Committee on Resolutions. The Committee on Resolutions submitted its report as follows: mitted its repose. The passing of such a character as Booker Washington is a matter of national concern. His whole being was cast in such a generous mould, his sympathies were so deep and so broad, the sphere of his activities covered so many phases of our racial and national life, that his death really marked the close of an epoch. We therefore have a sense of loss not measured by the ordinary feelings aroused at the passing of a beloved friend, for while we miss his presence we miss the need that larger wisdom and counsel with which he was so signally endowed by that Providence which takes centuries to make a superman. The test of any institution is its ability to go forward after the death of its founder and the unabated interest and enthusiasm which mark this session of the League show that his life and work meet this test and that his followers are determined to see that every seed planted by his hand shall be nurtured until it comes into dull fraternity. The business league, as its steady growth and increasing usefulness show, is destined to be a permanency among us. It has discovered us to ourselves, financially and commercially, and brought into actual business enterprises that would have been non-existent today without it. We feel particularly grateful to our general government for its work among farmers as undertaken by the United States demonstration and cooperative work and the A and M. College extension service under the Smith-Lever Act. The policy of studying the condition and needs of so large and vital a factor in our national life, and of meeting those needs, is desirable and commendable, and we urge that this admirable work extend its benefits to more Negro farmers as rapidly as possible. We want to give notice to the world that while we have been and are in some respects a proscribed class not always dealt with by our fellow citizens according to the golden rule, yet this country is our own, our native land. We love it, and we shall never mar our record for patriotism which began with Crispus. Attacks the might the foundations of this government were laid and whose last but not final chapter was written recently at Carrizal by our Tenth Cavalry. We feel that the greatest peril to our country lies in the evil of lynching. It is wholly indefensible, for we have in our regularly constituted courts a deterrent and punisher of crime, based on justice and not on hate. Lynching is cowardly and crime breeding. It gives the vicious an opportunity to murder innocents under the guise of defending justice and sustaining order. It arouses the deepest resentment and often acts as an incentive to crime. It is destructive of civilization and its continuance is a deadly menace to the perpetuity of our civilization. We want it clearly understood that we are against individual crime and demand its prompt punishment, but only by legal means There must be in this country but one kind of American and he should be the friend of every other American regardless of race or color or place of birth. We therefore urge the cultivation of friendly relations between the races. The patience our noble leader so often counseled we shall follow. It is sovereign virtue when racial adjustments are to be made. We commend it to black and white alike and to both do we not only counsel patience, but we declare our faith in the ability of our country to solve this problem in the spirit of Christ as it has solved that of slavery and kindred evils.

We take pleasure in publishing the subjoined, which is a letter to The Age'from well known loci! ministers of the gospel. ‘The communication verifies the state- ment made in a recent issue of The Age which told of a secret political conierence participated in by four gentlemen of the cloth and Mr. Charles W. Anderson. While collectively, the ministers confess that Mr. Anders q dis- cussed “dirty politics.” wie are af- prised that this subiggi was only incidentally touched. However, in the mam; The Age and the conferees do not seem to be greatly at variance. The letter: r To the Editor of Tue Ave: ~ In last week's issue of Tue Ace appeared an editorial which, so far + as it relates to the conierence of the undersigned with Mr. Charles W. Anderson, is not trye to the facts, and we, therefore, wish to publish this brief statement so that no cloud of suspicion rest upon either Mr. Anderson or anyone else present af this conierence. The iacts are these. About three or four weeks ago one of the gentle- men whose names appear at the end ‘of this commumcation invited Mr. Anderson and the rest of us to a conference, the purpose of which mus not cicar until the conference had opened. It developed, however, that the main purpose of ‘the mect- sing was to learn from the lips of Mr, Anderson, who was supposed to, be in a position to know, the real attitude of ex-Justice Hughes to- ward colored people, and how, if he were found to be friendly, we’ could best promote the mterests of his candidacy without plunging actvely into politics. Mr. Anderson did say: that politics as played by a certain type of poli- tician was a dirty game. but this re- mark was simply a Content on what swmenne else had ‘previencly asserted We do nat recall having heard him say that he, himself, played the game none too'eleanly at times Mr." Anderson made no. bil, for our support for anything: Heither did he express a tnrning ambition to become a national Ieader during this conference. The question was asked as to who would be likely to be put in charce of the colored voters, and st seas during the course of his reply that he cxiubited the letters referred to m your editorial.

They should pomt out that the South is the natural home of the mass of the race, and that if accorded fairer treatment, the Negro will have no inclination to leave.

VIAMES W. JOHNSON Several days aiter recessing the first letter above, we received irom an Age reader a ehpping from one of the Jacksons le slits papers, giving am account and description of the new million-dollar railroad station to be erected in that ey. ‘The follow mg paragraph Was marked for our attention * : The West Bay street end of the building will be occupied by the Negro waiting room, smoking room and the Negro women’s room.” The waiting room will have a separate entrance onto West Bay street, which will enable Negro passengers to go to and from the station without coming into contact with the white passengers. ‘The following news item of less than a dozen lines was carried in the daily papers last Sunday mornitig: SIX FLORIDA NEGROES LYNCHED. Accused of Helping a Colored Murderer Escape. - Gamesville, Fla.

Wynee and the shodung ef Deh. G. Harris by Nuisey Long, a Negro Thedsnched Negroes were accused of arding Long's escape These two chppings furnish a commentary on the question we are discussing, which shah give food ior thought te the white citizens of Florida who are concerned about the migration of colored men from that State ‘Take the ehpping abont the new railroad-statien Ty that shor paragraph, the colored people of Jacksons alle are unnecessarily and Lrutally humiliated. Not only in ‘that there are te be separate wait- ing ronms and smoking rooms and ticket windows; for conditions iorce colored people to accept these undemocratic provisions, but more so in that it is publicly avowed that one of the advantages of the new building will be that it permits of white people going in and out without having to come into contact with Negroes. If it were a question of filthy animals or human lepers, the statement could hardly be put more objectionably. Jacksonville 1s one of the most progressive cities in the South Vifly-one per cent. er more than half of its population 1s. colored. The great majority of this colored population must be industrious, thrifty, intelligent, productive, law-abiding tax-paying citizens or Jacksonville could not possibly be the progressive city that it is. Now what do the white people of Jacksonville suppose the in- nermost thoughts of this Cass of colored etizens must have been when they real that a great public building was to he erected. of Which they would not cven be allowed to use the front entrance: when they read the asurence to theashite pubhe that it could use the building without bang subjected to coming inte contact with Negroes? , We ask the white people, dees not this question of aveiding whatever contact which imyght result from white and colored peo ple passing in and eay of the same entrance ty a mammoth railroad Station seem absurd in fice af the fact that their fond is prepared hy Negroes, all ther domestic work done by Negroes, and even their Labies tenderly. eared for hiv Negroes? ° of those present and spread the joy ful tidings amen: the rank and file of colored voters Later onan the campaign. - : The Revs. Towel, Hayes, Brown and Sims in their well-in- tentioned and earnest efforts to state what Mr Anderson did tot say at this conference forgot to tell us what he really said. But Hf course we have no desire to be too presumptions Yet we can- not refrain from wondering just what Mr. Anderson did say. .._And the other clipping. Six’Negroes lynched of the accusa- tion—mind you, the accusation—of having ajded a murderer to dscape, and two of the six were women! 3 | But, what can be-said? There are no words left. We can only ask the white people another question. Do not they, the white peo- ple, realize that such a ‘crime aroused in every thinking Negro in| Florida the desire to leave the State? Do they not know that, follow- ing such a crime, every-thinking Negro would leave the State if economic conditions did not hold him there? . + We have wandered a long way irom the subject, but with the purpose of bringing homé ths-truth: if the white peuple of the South dream that’ the Negro, because he is silent, dues net resent, does not keenly feel the bitter iujustice te which he is so viten sabe jected, they are mistaken. Li they imagine that the Negro remaias where he is unjustly and brtalls treated beeause he rs‘indiferent to that treatment, they are mustaken.: The Negro remains there be- cause economic necessity campels him to do so. (nd whenever ecu- nomic conditions open for him elsewhere, he wall leave. Tf the great northern fields of industry are opened up ier the Negro, the Negro will come North, drawn by the guarantees of hetter. witzes, fairer treatment and greater opportuaity. In so doing he will only be iol- lowing a natural law, and neither municipal regulations or policemen ur sheriffs will be able to etfectually stop him. The only offset will be for the South to. give him better wages, fairer treatment and greater opportunity. \ We know that there are fair-minded white men all over ve South who are pondering these same thoughts and. who, whether they dare express it openly or not, would not only not.blame the Negro for fallowing such a line of action, but would give him credit for having common sense and manhood. We shall not again go over the ground already cavered in the two articles which pointed out the vital benefits to the whole race that swould result from the steady employment of, say, 2 million colored men in the North; for we have alseady spun this article out beyond reasonable length, but we cannot close it without say- ing that any steps: taken that would forcibly prevent these colored men from selling their labor to the best advantage to themselves ‘would be the ‘grossest injustice. Such action- would reduce these laborers to a state equivalent to slavery. . Still another phase of this question occurs to us: the importance of the Négro to the South. But that will make another story: so we leave it for another time. » = POINTS OF ATTACK. “ERE TOHOWINE BEC CIENT OF CHE VUINCEANIE SPS BPO: WECSS 2hke Hughes bas attacked the Wilson Administration: 1, General intompetency. 2° The prostitution of the G: vernment ty political expediency. 3. Tue removal of trained, efficient men to make place for Dem- ocratic camp followers wholly unit for the service of the people. 4. The deswgnation of untrained men for the siplonatic serv ice. with a broad mtimation that some of the posts were bought and paids for. < 3. The dominance of the South in the Calinet and Congress, resulting na disregard of he claims of the rest ef the country _ 6 Waste, extravagance and the promotion of qurely sectional interests. se 7° The violauon by the Democe fe party of its pledges to provide a tariff for revenue only and sts allszed con“scatton of the Kepubhican Tarif Commission project. 8. Failure to solve the Mexican problem This is a formidable array of charges: and each one is hased on truth and iacts. Only one thing of importance can be’added to this list, and that is an Attack upon Mr. Wilson's hypocritical doctrine of “humanity.” Mr. Wilson has been mouthing many empty words about “hv- manity,” he has beet charging American commercial travelers to go out to the world and preach liberty, justice and brotherly leve— the picture of it is enough to make a mule smile—He has been deeply concerned about the welfare of the: Mexican peons, their cn il pati: ical and property right=: so great hasbeen his cancest: ahiout the downtrodden in Mesice that it has led “him to put this Goxerament in the most embarrassing position in which it Ra~ ever been place!

Has be by the stight- est word expressed disapproval of the burning alive of Liman hers in Texas? Has he raised one finger to lighten the burden uf the downtrodden Negro here, in the very country of which’ he is Presi- dent? Mr, Wilson's “humanity” is a hollow sham and ought to be punctured. More than removing men from office because of their’ polities. he has removed colored men from office solely because of the: race He has refused to give colored men representation in the Govern ment solely on account of their race. He has counsenanced the estab- lishment of the undemocratic, unchristiafl and uncivilized principles of Juin Crowism in the public buildings of the very national capital, “Wilson's insincere doctrine of “humanny.” “liberty.” “justice” and “brotherly love” furnishes a most vulnerable point’ of attack. DEMOCRATIC EXTRAVA- GANCE. Ihe Democratic party went in: to power on a pledge of national economy. What has been the re- sult?
