NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. :--- :--- MINISTERS AND BUSINESS MEN Where Do Pastors of Negro Churches Make Their Personal Purchases? RACE BUSINESS MEN ANSWER Question Is Put to Members of New York Colored Business Men's Association, but Information Is Lacking. ONLY 9 PASTORS ON ROLL Thirty-two Business Men are Members of the Association, but Less than Half-Dozen Can Name Negro Ministers as Being Among Their Outsiders, and the Names of Only Nine Ministers are Given. Do ministers pastoring congregations of Negro churches in New York City, receiving practically their entire support and maintenance from members of the race, give in return their financial patronage, in whole or in part, to enterprises conducted by Negro business men? --- To have this question answered as authoritatively as possible, a representative of THE ACE, following out the investigation announced in the issue of August 17, requested R. E. Nicholas, president, and J. T. Clark, secretary, of the New York Colored Business Men's Association, to submit the query to the members of that body and have them give answer thereto. The result has not been very encouraging. Answers received show that a very small proportion of the ministers of the city are regarded by the members of this organization as patrons. The New York Colored Business Men's Association has a membership of 32. This does not include all of the business enterprises conducted by Negroes, but it is an organized body which is actively engaged in propagating the idea of "Race Patronage for Race Merchants", and so it can furnish a good index of business conditions. Represented among its members are furniture dealers, druggists, tailors, haberdashers, laundrymen, newspapermen, grocers, printers, butchers, calendar makers, chemists, real estate men, tea and coffee dealers, counselors-at-law, pharmacists, sign and house painters, restauranturs and saloonmen. The variety of businesses represented afford ample field for the scope of the investigation being made. Are Ministers Short on Race Pride? All of the merchants were not interviewed. But of those questioned, it was noticeable that the majority could not or did not name one Negro minister as a patron. One or two, in fact, spoke in very uncomplimentary terms of the quality of race pride exhibited by the clered preachers, if the attitude of the preachers toward the colored business man was to be taken as an index of their patron spirit. One merchant declared most emphatically that no one element of the race, taking it as a whole, and not referring to any individual, was so far away from patronizing race enterprises as the pastors of Negro churches. This was not the general opinion. Some of the men who had no Negro ministers among their patrons gave a reason that it was probably more a matter of convenience than of willful intention, and that if Negro merchants conveniently located as regards the evidence of the ministers there would be a larger proportion of the money given to preachers by their congregations back to the race through their merchants. The harshest criticism heard was the comment made on a minister who, it was alleged, had declared that the Negro merchant would receive none of his congregations and advised his congregation that effect. The Age has not been able to get to verify this statement, and to the name of the minister referred to withheld for the present. Nine Ministers on Honor Roll. Of the members of the association to whom was submitted the question less than a half dozen named a minister as a regiment. Nine ministers are named as being entitled to a place on the "Business Roll of Honor," and of this two are referred to as also adhere their congregations to patronize the Negro merchants. It may be, of course that some of the ministers are publicizing their purchases from Negro merchants who are not members of the New York Colored Business Men's Association. In that case, if the information printed The Age, their names are quickly placed on the roll. The list of names of ministers received by The Age, in response to the question as given in the beginning of the year, is as follows: THE REV. A. C, POWELL, pastor Abysonian Baptist Church. THE REV. W. W. BROWN, pastor Metropolitan Church Mercerian Baptist Church, THE REV, L. B, TWISBY, pastor Eleanor Baptist Church, THE REV, F. M, HORER, pastor St. James, M. F, HORER, Church, THE REV, J. W, BROWN, pastor Mother A, M. E, Zin Church. THE REV. CHARLE8 MARTIN, pastor Fourth Morwian Church. THE REV. F. A. CULLEN, pastor Salem M. E. Church. THE REV. B. W. ARNETT, pastor Bethel A. M. E. Church. THE REV. M. B. HUCLE88, pastor Baptist Temple. Of the nine ministers whose names are given, four of them were named by one merchant. It is the intention of The Age to continue this investigation, covering other professions and busi- nesses which depend entirely into Negro patronage. The minister's roll will not be closed, but will be added to or changed as further information is received. To what extent race merchants are patronized, by barbers and restaurant men will be investigated as far as possible. The First Honor Roll: In the issue of The Age of August 17 was published a roll of business and professional men who patronize each other, and for general information that roll is reproduced in this article. It was as follows: PHYSICIANS—Dr. Leo Fitz Nearon, Dr. A. B. Graves, Dr. Gus. Henderson, Dr. William H. Johnson, DENTIST—Dr. Neal, LAWYERS—Cousellors E. A. Johnson, Louis A. Leavle, Wilford H.

BISHOP WALTERS' WIFE GETS POLITICAL POSITION GETS POLITICAL POSITION Mrs. Leila Walters, wife of Bishop Alexander Walters, has been appointed a clerk in the office of the Commissioner of Immigration at Ellis Island at a salary of $100 a month. In naming Mrs Walters for the place President Wilson is said to have issued an executive order. The appointee, therefore, did not find it necessary to go through the usual lengthy routine prescribed by civil service. (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE) TRENTON, N. J.—The State Board of Education held a meeting at its room in Jersey City on October 28, and declared the because of the prevailing epidemic of infantile paralysis it would be advisable to postpone the opening of the state schools until October 2, instead of September 15. The two schools directly-affected are the Bordentown Industrial Institute, Bordentown, N. J., W. R. Valentine, principal, and the State Normal School at Trenton. ATLANTIC CITY WANTS ATLANTIC CITY, N.

Elected at Philadelphia to Succeed Nutter as Grand Exalted Ruler. Applied for Temporary Injunction but Withdraw Suit when Negro Lodge Agreed to Allow Case to go to Trial on Its Merits in the Federal District Court of Pennsylvania. (Special to Two New York Acn.) PHILADELPHIA, PA.—The seventeenth annual session of the Grand Lodge, I. B. P. O. E. of the World, came to an end Friday, August 25, ater one of the most interesting meetings in its history. T. Gillis Nutter, who had served as grand exalted ruler for three terms, was succeeded by, Armond W. Scott of Washington, who thus finds a long-time ambition gratified. The sessions were held in the Cherry Memorial Baptist Church, and the report of the credentials committee show that 251 delegates were present, 213 lodges. George E. Bates of Jersey City, the grand secretary, made a report which gave a definite idea of the progress of the order. There was paid during the past year to members of the order for sick benefits $11,338,72, and $8,721 in death benefits were paid. White Elke Attempt Suit. The white Elks, under the name of "Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks of the United States" filed a suit for temporary injunction against the Negro grand lodge, to prevent the use by them of the title "Elks." The suit was brought in the Federal district court, but attorneys for the colored lodges denied jurisdiction of that court. The case was compromised by the withdrawal of the plea for a temporary injunction in consideration of the colored Elks agreeing to grant jurisdiction to the Pennsylvania courts. This they did, and the case was placed on the regular calendar of the Federal district court, to be tried on its merits in the regular course of time. The Negro grand lodge was willing to let the case take this course, especially as these cases of infringement of title have never really gotten into the United States courts on merit. There has always been some technical point on which the court was compelled to decide, with the rights and authority of either side has always remained afterwards just as they were in the beginning. This case, it is understood, has no "race" bias, but is based simply and solely on the question as to whether or not any other body of men than the Elks of the United States can use the word "Elks" as a part of a designating title. Grand Lodge Royally Entertained The grand lodge was entertained by the O.V. Catto Lodge of this city, and it was the unanimous verdict of all visitors that the home lodge had surpassed even Philadelphia's noted reputation for hospitality. Elaborate decorations marked both public and private places, and at the Elks' Home a mammoth banner was stretched across South street between 16th and 17th streets, announcing that the Elks were in town. The manual band concert and exhibition drill was held at Point Breeze Park, with the first prize of $100 going to the Monumental Lodge band of Baltimore. The Capitol City band of Rhymond, Va., took second prize of $50 for the best drilled lodge, the Paul Lawrence Dunbar Lodge of $25. The Capitol City lodge took two prizes, $100 for the lodge coming greatest distance and $50 for best costumed lodge. The grand lodge ball was held in the Academy of Music, Broad and Locust streets, and was one of the greatest functions of the kind ever held in Philadelphia. The New Officers. Officers elected for ensuing term are as follows: Armond W. Scott of Washington, grand exalted ruler; George W. McMechen of Baltimore, G. E. Ld. K.; Paul H. Bray of Yorkshire, N. Y., G. E. Loy K.; A.

TO WORK AT HARTFORD Two hundred colored women are wanted, at once for wages in the Hartford, Conn., tobacco region, at wages ranging upward from $2 per day. This opening counts from the adult maturing of the tobacco plant after a backward season, and the women are needed for stringing the tobacco leaf. No experience is necessary, but women who are accustomed to handling the needle will have an advantage. It is easily possible for beginners, accustomed to the needle, to average $2 per day or more, and the work will last at least until the first of October. Transportation expenses from New York City and vicinity will be paid by the company. This work is done every summer by Polish women and by the New England shop girls. The shop girls take vacations during the summer and go into the tobacco region to do this work because of good wages and the desirable character of the work. The fitness of the season has brought the maturing of practically the entire crop into a few weeks' time, and the ordinary source of labor is found to be inadequate. This gives a chance to the colored women. Students from Negro schools have been employed in the Hartford tobacco fields all summer and their labor has been so satisfactory that the tobacco growers believe the employing of colored women will solve their labor problem and save their tobacco crop. Apply at once to the National League on Urban Conditions (Negro Negroes, 2003 Seventh avenue, New York, J. T. Clark, secretary of the national league). MONUMENT TO MARK JENNIE DEANE GRAVE (Special to The New York Times) LUBA, Va.—An interim member of the sessions of the New York Negro Colored Baptist Convention, she held here was the effecting of an important to handle plans for the establishment of monument to mark the anniversary of the woman worker in fortnia virginia founder of the Manassas Industrial School. The plans have been formulated for some time, but were held in abeyance until a proper organization could be formed to carry them out. Jennie Dean, who died May 3, 1913, and who is buried in the cemetery attached to Calvary Chapel, in Prince William County, Virginia, is held in affectionate remembrance not only by many colored people, but by many white persons whose respect she attained as the result of her unselfish missionary work. She was the founder of five Baptist churches in northern Virginia, and of the Manassas Industrial School as well as of the Union Baptist Sunday School Convention of Northern Virginia and the Northern Virginia Baptist Association. The Building of Calvary Chapel was her first work, and she was buried there, about a quarter of a mile from her late home near Sudley Springs. Her grave is still unmarked, for the reason that no organization has ever been formed to receive money which has been collected in northern Virginia to purchase a monument. COZART COMES OUT FOR FRELINGHUYSEN The candidacy of former State Senator J. S. Frelinghuysen for the United States Senate, in the primaries to be held in New Jersey early in September, is bringing many of the most prominent Negroes of the State to his support. The following letter from W. F. Geart, 123 North New York avenue, Atlantic City, who was elected as a delegate to the last National Republican Convention in the Republican primaries shows that he is giving Mr. Frelinghuysen his full support. ATLANTIC CITY, August 26 MR. FREED R. MORE JUDGE THE NEW YORK ACE Editor THE NEW YORK ACE I am writing to inform you that I have decided to support Hon. J. S.

UNSKILLED LABOR USED. TOO Massachusetts Corporation, One of Largest in Country, Opens Its Doors to Machinists, Foundrymen, Pattern Makers, and both Semi-Skilled and Unskilled Negro Labor at Good Wages. (Special to Tax New York Ae.) HOLYoke, MASS.—Another industrial opportunity for the Negro artisan is opened here in one of the largest establishments in this town and one of the biggest machinery plants in the country. Skilled men, familiar with the work in pattern shops, machine shops and foundry will be employed at wages ranging from $275 to $4 per day, and there will be opportunity to advance as high as $6 per day or more. Holyoke is a town of about 63,000 population, and there are only about ten colored families in that number. The corporation which is now offering this opportunity to the Negro machinist employs about 800 men, and of this number only two are colored. They have been with the company some four or five years, however, and not only is their work satisfactory in their employees, but the treatment received there perfectly satisfied. The company has applied to trial bushel or one League for advice in regard to securing colorer jobs. Authorized by the League Mr. Clark has made a trip to Holyoke and given a day to personal investigation of conditions. He states that the proposition is ideal and offers one of the best opportunities yet opened for the Negro artisan. The company proposes to employ eventually at least two hundred colored men, if qualified workers, can be found. Skilled, semiskilled and unskilled labor will be used, and the men employed will be given every opportunity to make good and to advance. The scale of wages offered by the company is liberal and conditions under which the work is done are as pleasant as is possible to make them. Unskilled labor is paid at the rate of 20 cents per hour, on a 10-hour-a-day basis. Semi-skilled and skilled labor will range from $275 to $44, and some of the men now employed are making $5 and $6 per day. The owners of this corporation declared to Mr. Clark that the colored employees will be accorded every opportunity to make good, that nothing will stop the colored man from qualifying for the same employment and the same wages as the white employee. Good Men Wanted. But emphasis is laid on the fact that the success of this experiment will depend on the securing of a dependable class of men to accept these positions. The predominating influence in Holyoke is Irish-Catholic, and there has been in the past an uncurrent of prejudice against Negro labor. But four years ago the government was tried of using Negro labor and about ten colored men were brought in from the West. These men dropped into the work and not in the slightest degree has any friction arose. Their contact with the white men has been most amiable and friendly, and now the company is convinced that the better class of Negro labor can be used to advantage. Living conditions in Holyoke are good. The families here at this time are pleasantly and comfortably situated and are on the most friendly terms with their neighbors. Holyoke is a great manufacturing center, the paper industry being the dominating industrial factor. There is an ample supply of work the whole year round, at good wages, and the opening of this avenue to the Negro laborer and artisan will mean much for the race as a whole. Employees for 25 Years. Among the 800 or more men now employed by the machine company that is making the effort to secure colored employees are fifty-two men who have been employed twenty-five or more years. The company is one of the oldest in this section of the country, and its plant is one of the largest and best appointed in the United States. An advertisement in this paper calls attention to this opening, and Mr Clark at the National U.S. League, at 250 South avenue, New York City, is authorized to receive and pass up applications for employment under this offer. He will give full information to all who apply to him, either in person or by mail. "LYNCHING-AN EVIL OF COUNTY GOVERNMENT" White Georgian Advances Opinion That Lynching Evil Is Greatest in States with Largest Number of County Governments. TEXAS AND GEORGIA ARE CITED AS EXAMPLES W. E. Wimpy of Georgia Writes Letter to Manufacturer's Record Commenting on Address Made Before Georgia Bar Association by Robert Cotton Alston, "Concerning Lynching," in which Alston Declared that Georgia's Laws were Inadequate. One of the strongest and most illuminating treatises delivered of recent days on the lynching evil is contained in a speech delivered by Robert Cotton Alston, a white lawyer belonging to the Georgia Bar Association. The address was delivered before that body, and it has called forth another notable expression from W. C. Wimpy, of Hallyburton Hall, Clarkston, Ga., who is also a white Georgian of considerable prominence. Mr. Wimpy has written a letter which appeared in the Manufacturer's Record of August 24, under the caption "Lynching, an Evil of County Government." Mr. Wimpy sets forth the argument that southern states, with a large number of counties, or "family governments," as he designates them, are not as efficiently governed as are states in other sections with a smaller number of counties. He traces much of the cause of the lynching evil to the excessive number of "family governments" which have control of the administration of the law's machinery. He cites Texas, with a population of only 3,896,542, as having 248 "family governments" and 20 lynchings in nine and one-half months of 1915. Georgia's population totals 20,609,121, and in that state there are 152 counties in which occurred 14 lynchings during the same period. South Carolina, on the other hand, with a population of 1,515,400, has only 44 counties and reported only one lynching. Alabama, with 67 counties, had seven lynchings, and Mississippi, with 80 counties, had six lynchings. Evil of County Government. Mr. Wimpy's letter, quoting a part of Mr. Alston's address, is as follows: Editor, Manufacturer's Record: I have just read with great interest the letter that wages delivery before the October 11th anniversary, and I hope you will enjoy it. Mr. Alston is due to present lawyers and orators in his pictures of word painting, in that he not only puts life and expression in them, but he puts brains. Life, liberty and property are three things that the law must guarantee to man before trial, and especially to him who lives in the south. There is not any brighter legal light shining today than Robert Cotton Alston. Having stated the facts above, I submit statistics of the states in our Union showing: the population, number lynched and counties in each state in 1915 to October 11: States Counties in 1915 Popu- lation Alabama 67 7 2,138,093 Arizona 14 14 204,354 Arizona 14 25 3,524 California 14 3 3,524 Colorado 63 2,577,549 Connecticut 8 7,999,024 Florida 60 4 1,114,756 Fla. 60 4 1,114,756 Florida 152 14 2,609,191 Hawaii 132 325,934 Hawaii 132 325,934 Indiana 92 2,700,876 Indiana 92 2,700,876 Kansas 105 1,699,049 Kansas 105 1,699,049 Nevada 120 5 2,296,005 Danausia 61 3 1,656,388 Maine 16 742,371 Maine 16 742,371 Maryland 24 1,356,916 Maryland 24 1,356,916 Washington 83 2,810,173 Washington 83 2,810,173 Minnesota 86 2,075,708 Minnesota 86 2,075,708 Minnesota 80 6 1,725,114 Minnesota 80 6 1,725,114 Maryland 115 2,356,916 Maryland 115 2,356,916 Nevada 92 1,192,214 Nevada 16 81,575 Nevada 16 81,575 New Hampshire 21 2,537,167 New Hampshire 21 2,537,167 New Mexico 13 327,301 New Mexico 62 6,915,275 North Carolina 100 4,206,257 North Dakota 50 575,056 Ohio 88 4,206,257 Ohio 88 4,206,257 Oregon 34 672,765 Denver 67 7,665,119 Reno 5 1,515,400 South Carolina 44 1,515,400 South Dakota 61 581,954 Tennessee 96 3,218,789 Texas 248 3,806,542 Texas 248 3,806,542 Washington 39 1,141,990 West Virginia 55 1,224,119 West Virginia 55 1,224,119 Wyoming 21 145,678 Arizona 173 78 Lynchings in 91/2 Months. The total number of lynchings in the United States from 1785 to October 11, 1915, was 2553. From the figures submitted one will see at a glance that 75 lynchings took place in nine and one half months last year. The astounding fact is that 77 were in the South and only one in the North. Now, there must be a cause for this, and when I know that the power of organization is destroyed by overorganization, then it is only natural that we can do the rest. When we do that our most powerful park in the system, or organization of government is shut down and that each of our States has within it a certain number of such States or cities of call them family governments. For an illustration, we will like Georgia. She has only 2,600 121 inhabitants and 152 county governments (and the present Legislature is PRICE FIVE CENTS AN EVIL OF GOVERNMENT" Frances Opinion That Greatest in States Number of Governments. RE CITED AS EXAMPLES A Letter to Manufacturer's Record Before Georgia Bar Association Learning Lynching," in which Alston were Inadequate. inating treatises delivered of recent days speech delivered by Robert Cotton Alston, a Bar Association. The address was ded forth another notable expression from Barkston, Ga., who is also a white Georgian copy has written a letter which appeared 24, under the caption "Lynching, an Evil that southern states, with a large num- ments," as he designates them, are not as sections with a smaller number of use of the lynching evil to the excessive have control of the administration of trying to give birth to 'sexette'), and the different little Georgia county or family governments lynched 14 citizens of the United States in nine and one-half months, while South Carolina, the hottest State in our Union, on her east, only has 44 little family governments (or counties), so she only lynched one and we find Alabama, on our west, with 67 county or family governments lynching seven. Of course, as she only shows about half as many little families as Georgia, so she only lynched about half as many. Alabama's population, though, is only 1,148,091, so you see, she has kept up to record. Then Mississippi, with 80 counties and only 1,757,114 inhabitants, lynching six and Texas, with 468,091 emports, only 3,059,544 inhabitants, lynching 84. Storms Are Overwhelmed. not count for what makes a family, and the individuals are the ones that are guaranteed life, liberty and property before trial. Look at the figures and see how dear old Maryland shines—no lynchings there—she is not overorganized; she has only 24 good counties; therefore, she has good government. If Georgia would have done so, she would proportion as Maryland she would have only 49 instead of 152 and get rid of 103 county outfalls and stop the pay of over 2,000 employees she need and 2,000 more men that make up her grand juries, etc., and then lynching and whitewashing of crime would stop and equity would be found. The record shows that New York and Pennsylvania have 16,778,958 population and only 129 counties combined, against Georgia's 152: in other words, Georgia has 23 more. Again, North, Carolina, Georgia, Florida, Kentucky, Arkansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Alabama have about the same population as New York and Pennsylvania, and they have combined counties of 950, against New York and Pennsylvania of 129. The United States has three prisons for all her landed territory, while the States named have 950, or one for each county. Mr. Alston's Address. I quote from R. C. Aleton's address, page 13, 19 and 20. It is, of course, first the duty of the citizen to refrain from lawlessness, and thereby deprive the general government of excuse for this interference with State laws. It is next the duty of the State to so order its laws, that the impulses of them will not be so sharing and atrocious. No one will be the master of knowledge of the laws, that the laws of this State are inadequate to the subject, both as the present and administrative. The system is such that they always will be a lumination "unless they are materially altered For the same reason, the sentiment is much more like the sheriff, and the people and becomes there roughly awakened to the demands of his concerns, in the failure in the exchange of love in this respect, the triumph of being a worker, the benefits of the workers and they're friends; if he discharges his duty he will incur theنفس of those whom he opposes and their no reason that he's better to be overpowered, to be surprised or to be now from the jail.

No man desires more than I that those powers be not extenden over the doctrines of citizenship more than I that the future powers certify of the southern part of this country certs upon the rights of the State to treat fully deal with this question without interruption. No one desires more than I that he deal with wisely and frankly and greatly. But it is intended by what has been said to point out to you until to those whom you have been addressed the rights most deeply cherished and privileges which are of the very essence of our lives are being endangered by a surrender to passions which are base, and to a wilfulness which are base, and to the very fundamentals of our domestic life. Who will deny that even selfish wisdom dictates that justice and moderation should prevail over lawless passion, which is a very serious matter, yet doubly makes victims of its deviates. What excuse has the State for failing to adequately protect the prisoner under its law, key, or in its custody? Why do we hold the punishment of laws which we make the sheriff and his deputies accountable to a prisoner, which is composed of persons not the Federal Government? No one believes that its lynchers will be united, and experience shows that a short fort will be made to punish the lynchers. It can no longer be said that the lynchers are committed for one year, it is only a few months ago that two Negroes were lynched or killed in a murder. We know that the lynchers have his hand to their necks. Does not this ll but write the Federal government to take cognizance of the punishment? The question local gives the State a reason if the local would give the State a reason if he could encounter the argument that the local should not. But he should know that by withholding such laws and by doing so the prisoner to be persons who are in the custody of the local participate in the punishment of the local local, moves to the local local Government, and dispatches to a degree such we do not like to govern the rights of the local parties absolutely to our welfare. The legislator will not that the real energy of local self-government is not personal, but it is not in fact government, but which offer the shadow for substance. The legislator is the right of the state to govern its own affairs, be he who it is to govern worthily. JERSEY CITY, N. J. JERSEY CITY, N. J—Mrs. James H.

We offer a reward of $100 for any head of hair the Kink-no-more will not straighten. It is perfectly harmless and will not include the scalp nor hair. But will stop it from falling out, positively removes stard-druff, promotes a luxuriant growth of the hair. It is not as good as it does, because it does not need to be minimized. Kink-no-more is sold under a guarantee to do all that is claimed for its money. It has been a very long time since we have a record of $1,000 for $100 in the result of any one of the receipts.

The protocol amplifying the financial, economic and administrative treaty with Haiti was signed last week by Secretary Lansing and the Haitian Minister, M. Menos. The most important addition to the treaty is the provision that the native police force is to be officered by Americans. This native constabulary will consist of about 2,000 men with probably 300 American officers, nominated by the President of the United States. This force is to take the place of an army, and to preserve internal peace. It is proposed that the American officers will be replaced by natives as fast as the latter can reach the necessary requirements. The treaty also provides for an American receiver-general for customs receipts, an American financial adviser and an American engineer for sanitation and general improvements. There is no doubt of the fact that this treaty carried out in the proper spirit will result in the very rapid development of the Island Republic. The two most important provisions are those calling for a native constabulary and for an American engineer for sanitation and general improvements. With an adequate and permanent native constabulary, independent of those in political power, and authorized to maintain and enforce peace throughout the Republic, it will be a rather difficult matter for anyone to start a revolution. There is no need to state what may be accomplished by a competent engineer with regards to sanitation and improvements. All that is needed to make this treaty bring to Haiti the greatest good possible is to have those Americans who are charged with its administration men who can work in sympathetic understanding with the Haitians. Otherwise a great wrong and a great deal of damage will be done. THE R. R. STRIKE. President Wilson, it seems, has failed in his plan for averting the railroad strike. There is no doubt that he attempted to make political capital out of it. He attempted to create the impression that he would make the railroads give in; so that the country would feel that Wilson had gained a great victory for the workingman. But the plan failed. Now Mr. Wilson will evidently do what he always does when he gets into a tight place; he will throw the matter on the shoulders of Congress. If any trouble then comes, Congress will have to take the time. VIENNESE IS FRIEND TO RACE. Vienna XVII. Austria, Herlockstr.

There is no great question more paradoxical than the one which embraces the relations of white and black people living together in the South. This is forcibly brought out by the furor about the migration of colored laborers to the North, which is stirring so many Southern communities. From most that has been said and done by Southerners for the past fifty years, one would conclude that the Negro was a terrible burden on the South, a burden that it would be only too glad to get rid of at the first opportunity. He, the Negro, has been declared a general nuisance, a handicap, a blot, a curse, and as many other things of that kind as can be thought of. Southern leaders have, even in Congress, advocated his deportation. Others have gone so far as to advocate his annihilation. It has time and again been proved that the Negro was the one thing that stood between the South and all the blessings of peace, prosperity and perfect happiness. Now comes a time when large numbers of colored people propose voluntarily and without expense to their white neighbors to leave, and what is the result? Why, the powers of city, county and state are invoked to prevent them from doing so. Instead of being a burden to the South, the Negro is an element of great strength. He is both a producer and consumer, and so he is doubly a tremendous asset. It is often charged that he is especially a heavy economic burden. This charge is based on the old and worn out theory of political economy which recognized the land owner as the one who really pays the taxes. The unequal distribution of the public school funds between whites and blacks is defended upon this theory. It is often stated that the South has spent millions for the education of colored children; and the statement is made as though the spending of this money were an act of philanthropy or charity. The fact that these millions have been taken from the public tax fun is for education is entirely disregarded. Each child in the South, white or black, is justly entitled to an equal share in the public school fund. And when white Southern land owners claim that they stand the financial burden of educating colored children, they are wrong. It would be just as reasonable for the relatively few land owners of New York to claim that they stand the financial burden of educating the thousands and thousands of children whose parents pay rent for tenements and flats. Let the millions of producing and consuming Negroes be taken out of the South, and it would quickly be seen how much less of public funds there would be to appropriate for education or any other purpose. Perhaps this threatened exodus will bring a fuller realization of the great importance of the Negro to the South. TILLMAN'S SWAN SONG Last week Ben Tillman delivered what he seemed to feel would be his last speech in the Senate. He made a five-minute address which, reports from Washington say, brought tears to the eyes of many of his colleagues. He began by saying that he was leaving for home, trusting that he had given the country the best service of which he was capable. He went on to say that he hoped "by the mercy of God" to be in the Senate when it reconvenes in December, but intimated that he had reached the permanent adjournment of his career. What he said was in answer to the charge made by Mr. Hughes that the Wilson Administration is sectional. Two of the opening paragraphs of his speech were as follows: Mr. President, I will leave for my home this evening, and in taking leave of the Senate, a few days in advance of his adjournment—after having, I trust, performed the best service to my country of which I am capable—I would feel that I had still left something undone, some part of my duty unfulfilled, if I did not express my sorrow and my great surprise at what appears to be a deliberate effort to raise in our present national campaign an issue which I had hoped and believed was long since dead. It must have surprised and shocked you, Senators, as it has shocked most of our common country, to find that more than fifty-one years after Appomatox, when all the great chieftains of our fratricidal struggle have passed over to the other side—where there is no North, no South, no East, no West, but only the glory of God everywhere—that a candidate for the high office of President of these re-United States should have thought it necessary, or even permissible, to drag forth that old-blood-and-mud-bespattered banner of "sectionalism" and wave it over the heads of the present generation of Americans. Mr. Hughes raised no question of sectionalism; he merely stated the fact that the Wilson Administration has practiced sectionalism ever since it has been in power. But who is Tillman, to be shocked and pained at the question being raised? This author of the phrase, "To hell with law"; this old anarch, who openly on the floor of the Senate threatened to take his shotgun and help to "kill a thousand niggers"; this apostle and highpriest of sectionalism, who has spent all the active years of his political life preaching and practicing the doctrine; who is he, we ask, to feel sorrow and surprise at "what appears to be a deliberate effort to raise in our present national campaign an issue" which he had "hoped and believed was long since dead"? What has Tillman ever done except help to keep that issue alive? Evidently, the words from Tillman's speech that were the tearsqueezers, that are said to have melted the hearts of his fellow senators, were the following: If I ever did hate the Northern people—and I confessed to that the last time I spoke here—that hatred and partisanship has died out of my heart; and the pitchfork, if it was considered the emblem of it, has long since been buried. From its grave an olive tree has grown, and I am tendering the olive branch, claiming to represent the South in doing so, to all Northern people. Let me, if I may, before taking leave, to meet you again by the mercy of God, in December, hold it out to you, and through all of you, to the constituencies which you represent, in the earnest hope that it may silence this unjustifiable and unseemly cry of "sectionalism" even as it once heralded the receding waters of the deluge. These words are like the death-bed repentance of a man who has spent his whole life in deviltry. It is too late for Fillman to try to change his pitchfork into an olive branch. As long as his arm had strength enough, he wielded the pitchfork, and as Pitchfork Ben he will always be known. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, AUGUST 31, 1916. If Tillman is to have any place in history, he has already made it. If he is to be remembered at all, it will be only as a waver of the "blood-and-mud bespattered banner of sectionalism." "OUT FOR A GOOD TIME." In the current number of The lowing bit of sugar-coated philosophy JOY I. The trolley car was bouncing bound from a popular resort.

The trolley car was bouncing along a country road, homeward-bound from a popular resort. It was packed with perspiring humanity, much of it wearing the tan which comes only from untold ages lived beneath the African sun. Upon each African head, decorating the millinery or the plain "lid" of the male, was a black band with a legend stamped upon it in letters of gold, "Out for a Good Time." The palefaces aboard entertained no doubts of the good time. And, come to think of it, did not the gold letters rather tend to stimulate the enthusiasm, to heighten the gaiety? They were a pacit bid for leniency on the part of disinterested victims of noise and obstemperousness. One really has to live up to a golden motto, "Out for a good time." blazoned on one's forehead. The palefaces wondered if some of their own number might not profit by the label—on this jaunt and in some other places. Each reader can easily draw a mental picture of that trolled car. He can plainly see this joyful company of colored folks with nothing on their minds but the motto, "Out for a good time." He can hear their hearty laughter and hilarious singing. He can also observe the expressions of amusement or tolerance or annoyance on the faces of the other passengers in the car. The whole scene is one so well known that it requires no effort of the imagination to reproduce it. Doubtless the person who wrote the little article for The Delinicator sat watching the scene with some such thoughts as these running through his mind: How fortunate these people are to be able to throw off their serious worries, and go out for a good time! How much better off white people would be if they could do likewise! Of course, the writer of the little article did not know that an investigation would probably have proved that the greatest worry any member of that joyful company of colored folks had had for a week was about getting enough money to take the "good time" trip. Perhaps it is true that the element in our population whose ideas of life were formed by ages of battling with the stern and gloomy conditions in northern Europe might, with benefit to themselves, take as a motto, "Out for a good time." but we, who gained our conception of life on the soil and under the sun of Africa, do not stand in need of the philosophy which that motto contains. The thing this cheerful, laughing, good-natured, happy-hearted race of ours needs to learn is that life in this country at the present time calls for, at least, ninety-five per cent of hard work and, perhaps, five per cent of good time. Instead of "Out for a good time," it would do better to take as a motto, "Out for serious business." NORWICH. CONN.

The wedding party included Miss Lucy Rucker, sister of the bride, as maid of honor; Miss Nellie Askew and Miss Kate Graves, bridesmaids; little Misses Neddie, Hazel and Alice Rucker and Miss Evelyn Scott of Tuskegee, Ala., as ribbon bearers, and little Miss Anne Rucker as flower girl. Kemper Harreld was best man. The bride made a beautiful picture in her wedding gown, which was an exquisite creation in duchess satin and rosepont lace. The corsage was embroidered in a design of pearls. The wedding veil was of tulle with a cincter of orange blossoms. She carried a shower bouquet of white roses and valley lines, the snowy whiteness of the blossoms heightened by the delicate sprays of green fern.

The bridesmaids were beautifully gowned alike in white tulle over pink taffeta fashioned with two flounces with hoop skirt appearance, and with trimmings of silver lace.

In the drawing room, where the ceremony was performed, there was a high bank of palms and potted ferns. Pedestals of white and pink were surrounded by French baskets filled with flowers in Dresden shades and were on each side of an improvised altar. Myriads of candles were placed in altar.

Rucker, her father having formerly served as Collector of Internal Revenue for the State of Georgia. She is a granddaughter of the late Ex-Congressman Jefferson F. Long.

(BY LUCIEN H. WHITE.) One of the smoothest, best balanced and best arranged athletic meets recently held around Greater New York was that staged by the Alpha Physical Culture Club for its grand annual field day and basket picnic which was held at Ulmet Park, Bensonhurst, Brooklyn, N.Y., on Thursday afternoon, August 24. One of the largest entries of the season, a remarkably large entry for a midweek afternoon, fased the starter in the different events. All of the events engaged interest, but more active excitement was aroused by the 1,000-yard handicap and the medley relay at one mile than by the others. In the 1,000-yard handicap Frank Jenkins, the speedy St. Christopher champion, was on scram, with competitors stretched out as far as the 40-yard line. Much speculation was aroused as to his ability to overcome this heavy handicap. The result proved that he could not. At the half-mile mark he was away back in the ruck, and he stepped off the track onto the side lines and let his competitors have it. His team mate, Sid Jackson, started from the 20-yard line, but fell back in the earlier stages of the race. He proved his wisdom in doing this, for in the last lap he waded through his tiring opponents and came to the wire in second place. The one-mile medley furnished the surprise of the afternoon. Bill Murray took up the 880-yard burden for the Alphas and, by a terrific sprint in the last 50 yards, gained a fairly good lead which he turned over to his team mate, Williams. But the runners of the Knights of St Anthony and St. Christophers would not allow him to retain it. In the final 220 yards Ravenell, running anchor for St. Christopher, got away to a three yards lead, and-St. Christopher began to feel that the race was as good as won. James F Ryan was running anchor for the Knights of St. Anthony, and it was not thought that he could overcome Revenell's advantage. But whether Ryan was better than was thought, or Ravenell was too confident, the fact remains that Ryan left his mark like a rifle shot and in a few strides had overcome Ravenell's lead. The little St. Christopher runner could not make up the lost ground and had to be content with second place, with A. Robinson of the Alphas just behind him for third place. One of the interesting features of the meet was the first appearance in an official A. A. U. meet of the young Tuxedo Club of East Orange, N. J. In the mile novice Benjamin W. Brown, running in eighth place in the third quarter, made a gallant effort, and came to the wire a good second to Mahoney of the Jersey Harriers. In the 100-yard dash little Fred Smith made a good showing in the third trial heat, running second in 10 1-5 seconds. --- Following the games, the members of the club and their guests enjoyed their basket dinners, and at 7 o'clock Douge's orchestra began playing for the dances which lasted until 1 a.m. The summaries follow: 75-yard dash (novice)—Won by Edward W. Cadmus, Prudential A. A.; J. O'Neill, Newark A. C, second; S. Bertrand, Prudential A A, third. Time 0:08. 100-yard dash (handicap)—Won by M. De Martino, unattached (6 yards); E.

Time: 1:00 4:5 Writing of the second half of the games of the Harlem Athletic League, held Sunday at Macomb's Dam Park, A. C. Cavagnoar in the New York DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS Tribune said Monday morning that the Salem-Crescent athletes had carried off most of the honors. He wrote as follows: Athletes of the Salem-Crescent Athletic Club carried off most of the honors in the second half of the games of the Harlem Athletic League, which were field at Macomb's Dam Park vertebrate Benjamin Lauder, the club's best high jumper, began proceedings with a new league record in his event, leaping 5 feet 8 inches—one inch higher than the old figures held by himself. The team point trophy also came into the Salem club's possession, when the Glencoe Athletic Club, the donor, which finished first, with a count of 39 points, refused to accept it. As the Salem team won second position, with 24 points, it gained the prize. There were many close finishes and hard battles, but the scratch men fared it. In the eleven events on the program only three of the honor men succeeded in catching their fields and breaking the worsted winners. One of these fortunate competitors was Sandy Evans, who represented the Salem-Crescent organization, and who only a week ago captured the Connecticut State 440-yard championship run. Evans was in the wake of large entries in both the 440 and 880 yard events, being placed by the handicapper five yards behind scratch in each contest. His first appearance was at his favorite distance, but the large peculiar hit thinned him to an extent that he could finish no better than third A. Barrington, of the Alpha Physical Culture Club, the winner, and Sam Labou, of the Glescoce club, who proceeded hi home, had a duel all the way, the former winning only by inches. Evans, however, gave an exhibition of his real speed in the half-mile contest. He leaped into his long stride at the opening gun, and, at the end of the first lap, had assumed a commanding position. Turning into the home stretch, he held the yin, and sprinted to cross the line with a two-yard advantage in the first time of 2 minutes. Harry Parkinson, of the Bradhurst Field Club, put on his running shoes after several months of idleness, and was a victor in the two-mile handrail. He appeared to be in especially good form, and although allowed a start of 5 and 4 seconds for the first distance in 10 30, Aaron Morris, the St Christopher Athletic club runner, was virtual scratch man, with 12 seconds, and ran a pretty race in finishing third. Fred Teschner, Pete J. White and Eddie Perelman had an interesting tilt in the 100-yard handicap dash, the athletes finishing as named. At the 250-yard distance Perelman made good use of a 9-yard start, and succeeded in winning by a yard. C. Mock, a Salem member, was second, with Teschner almost in a dead heat for the place. The summaries follow: 100-yard dash (handicap)—Won by F. Teschner, Glencoe A. C. 10 feet; P. J. White, Salem-Crescent A. C. 10 feet, second; E. Perelman, Glencoe A. C. 9 yards, third. Time: 0:10. 230-yard run (handicap)—Won by E. Perelman, Glencoe A. C. 9 yards; C. Mock, Salem-Crescent A. C. 14 yards, second; F. Teschner, Glencoe A. C. 5 yards, third.

Miller, with his Broadway Rastus Company, is at the Ruby Theatre, Louisville, Ky. THE LINCOLN THEATER A plan whereby the patrons of the New Lincoln Theater, 135th street and Lenox avenue, have a choice in the selection of feature photoplayls has been tried with great success. A week ago a feature contest was commenced in order to ascertain which one of three great picture productions would receive the largest number of votes, and according to the count made on Tuesday evening, after all votes were in, the result was made known as follows: "The Light At Dusk," first choice, with "The Unwritten Law" and "The Albs" running strong in the race for favor. In fact the contest was so close it has been decided by the management that all three will be booked, and in that way patrons favoring each feature will have a chance to witness it. The great interest instigated in the contest by the Harlem movie fans creates very plainly that local followers of the string drama are pretty well posted on the long productions in the screen world and know pretty well when an attraction is worth while The dates for the three features in the popularity contest have been arranged as follows "The Light at Dusk" will be shown on Sunday, September 3, "The Unwritten Law," Sunday, September 10, and "The Abbi," Sunday, September 17. The vaudeville portion of the program last week was of the same high standard as was maintained during the summer months, and the patronage accorded the shows must have been most gratifying to the management. Little Johnine Woods, the ventriloquist was the hit of the bill by long-odds, and no wonder, for Johnine succeeds in making his dummy partner a real likeable chap, and he also puts a whole lot of genuine charm in "Henry." The coughing part of the act the audience we have ever seen, and is truly a wonderful piece of work. "The Beatrice Fairy series attracted great crowds at all on Wednesday, and was endorsed as being the best yet, and the well-known "big sister to all true lovers" is bound to make a remarkable bid for favor during its run of fourteen weeks. It will be shown on Wednesdays of each week. CHESS MATCH In the chess match for the colored championship of the city Harold E. Simmelkjaer and C. T. Warren played two games at 426 Lonox avenue on Monday night, August 21. Both were draws. In the first game Simmelkjaer essayed a four knights opening which, after a lengthy setting, resulted in a draw by perpetual check. The second game was opened by Warren with the Sicilian defense, and Warren had his opponent to all appearances until the last few moves Simmelkjaer made some end moves which prompted him a draw. The score stands 1 to 1. Much interest is being manifested in the games, and requests have been received from several persons interested in chess, asking permission to witness the games and to join the club. The matches are being played on Mondays, Wednesdays and Saturdays. Up to Monday evening Simmelkjaer had won 3, lost 2, drawn 3, score 4!. Warren won 2, lost 3, drawn 3, score 3%. From the white's side Warren has counted against a Panchettie, and Simmelk- THE EDITOR JOHN LEUBRIE HILL Who died in New York City Wed. 1:55 o'clock.

At the Harlem Sporting Club 155th street and Madison avenue, on last Friday night. Tommy Coleman, the clever Philadelphia fighter, made his first appearance here in some time, and he celebrated it by decisively defeating Jimmy (Butch) of O'Hagan or Albany in the star (the evening) of the evening was too tough for O'Hagan and made him miss any time he wanted to Coleman did not seem to try very hard, but was on top of O'Hagan all the time Coleman seemed to be able to hit O'Hagan any time that he wanted, and at the end of the bout Coleman did not have a mark on him. Weights—Coleman 145, O'Hagan 152. The second ten-round bout was the best one of the evening. Eddie Dorssey, the great little fighter from Philadelphia, met Young Fulton of New York, and in this bout Dorssey showed himself to be the two-handed nighter (colored) in the world. Being in the best of condition he fought the best battle since he had played him in the fight to Fulton; the latter must have thought that it was raining fists, because Dorssey did not let up a minute, but kept on top of his opponent all the time with stuff jabs and terrific upper cuts. He had Fulton bleeding and his right eye closed at the end of the bout. Weight- Dorssey, 139; Fulton, 137. At the Harlem Sporting Club, 185th street and Madison avenue, on next Friday night an all-star card has been arranged by Matchmaker Raymond, one that the fight ians have been waiting for for some time.

The second ten-round bout will bring together Wee Wee Barton, the New York fighting machine, and Walter Mohr, the hard-hitting fighter from Brooklyn.
