XXIX No. 52 THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1916 PRICE FIVE CENTS RACE BUSINESS ADVERTISING Suggestions to Merchants Concerning Reaching the Purchasing Class. HOUSE AND BLOCK CAMPAIGN Advising Occupants of Every House in Block as to Race Merchants Operating in Neighborhood, Goods Carried and Prices Offered. Merchants with Small Capital Could Combine with Each Other in Buying and Purchase Goods in Large Quantities, Getting Benefit of Discount Given for Large Cash Purchases. The investigation conducted by THE AGE as to patronage accorded by members or the race to merchandizing businesses conducted by Negroes has brought out some interesting facts concerning conditions and has given rise to interesting questions as to what can be done to bring about a favorable change in the present conditions. To a large extent, the articles written by THE AGE on business conditions have concerned themselves most largely with showing the merchant's side of the case, with reasons why he should be accorded the support of the purchasing class of the race. Consideration of this phase of the question has led naturally to the problem which the Negro merchant must solve in finding a way to place his wares before the public and to purchase those wares to such advantage that he will be enabled to meet any competition from any source. It has been brought out in this investigation that it is not sufficient that a colored man or woman has opened a place of business; it is necessary that the prospective merchant must not only have a complete stock of goods in a well-equipped store, at prices comparing with prices offered by competitors, but he must also let the purchasing public know about his business and what he is interested in. One of the most influential factors in this particular has been the Colored Business Men's Association of New York, which, by means of an association organ, The; Commercial Outlook, and by a series of public meetings at the various churches of the city, has conducted a campaign of publicity through which the people have been given information concerning the businesses conducted by the men allied with this association. But there are only between thirty and forty members of this association, a very small proportion of the Negroes in Greater New York who are engaged in business enterprises. And, with one or two exceptions, the entire membership of the association is located in Harlem. The members of the race conducting businesses in other sections of the city and in Brooklyn are not represented in the organization. So that the publicity campaign of the association will concern only a small part of the Negro business people. Suggestions to Business Men. A suggestion has been made that the Negro business men might adopt to their advantage some such plan as is in use among some white merchants who have formed what they call a Rotary Club. The members of this club are regarded as spokes of a wheel, all working together to a common end, whether engaged in the same line of business or in different lines. Union is the prime consideration, and this means combination in advertising, in buying, in reaching customers, and co-operation in selling. It has also been suggested that Negro merchants might profitably adopt a block which a house-to-house and block-block campaign is, inaugurated, adding the occupants of every apartment in every house on a particular block of the various businesses catering to their needs operated by Negro merchants, together with list of goods handled and prices at which they are to be sold. This direct appeal to race families, preserving the practical advantage of trade with race merchants, aside from any continental aspect, will, it is doubtful, overcome some of the invidious prejudice unconsciously felt by members of the fact when the question of patronizing race merchants is under consideration. Lombina Capital In Buying. Many people claim, as an excuse for not patronizing Negro merchants, that the same goods can be purchased for less than from other merchants. If this is true, it is so because the merchants of other races possess larger capital and can purchase goods in larger markets. But it is suggested to the Negro merchants that this handicap can be overcome by a combination of rewards such as to be found in co-working spaces. Members of the Col. Men's Association, for instance, in the same line of business, can pool their purchasing capital into the market, and in the case of sufficient money to buy goods, leave quantities for the individual corporation the purchases ac- NEW SECRETARY FOR NEW YORK Y. M. C. A. After eleven years of successful work as secretary of the Y. M. C. A. f colored men in Indianapolis, Ind. Thomas E. Taylor has resigned and come to New York to accept a similar position with the 53d street branch Y. M. C. A., succeeding James L. Jamison, Jr., whose resignation took effect August 1. Mr. Taylor brings to the New York field a record of splendid attainment in the Indianapolis field, having developed that work from a very small and weak organization with only seventeen members to its present strong and forceful position, with a membership of 750, occupying a building which cost $104,000. And there is only a balance of $10,000, secured by a bonded indebtedness, owed on this magnificent building. The Indianapolis Y. M. C. A. was organized originally as an independent organization, and was operated as such until the campaign for the new building was projected. It then became a member of the general association, securing the help and support which that affiliation could bring to it. The funds for the new building were given by the Indianapolis people, save $25,000 from Julius Rosenwald. The colored people of the city contributed $10,000, Mme. Walker, the hair, culturer, contributing $1,000 of this sum. Carl G. Fischer, a white philanthropist, gave $10,000, and Arthur Jordan, another white friend, gave $5,000. Nineteen Men Employed. The white public in general contributed between $40,000 and $45,000. The magnificent building has been occupied for some time, and there are nineteen men employed in operating its various activities. The annual budget totals about $16,000 yearly, and of this amount the regular income from members' fees, dormitory rentals, etc., amounts to $14,000. The white public contributes about $1,000 each year, and the other thousand needed is given by the colored people themselves. The work of the association, under Mr. Taylor, reached notable proportions, especially in the educational and industrial departments. Various classes were held regularly, and all of them were well filled and regularly attended. Interesting examples were to be found in the classes for chaufeurs, for janitors and porters, and for the store groups. For each of these classes lecturers were provided who were able to give practical and concrete lessons embodying every phase of the work which members of the classes were called to do. Industrial conditions in Indianapolis were greatly improved through the employment bureau of the association, which not only was in a position to provide a better-than-usual type of worker for the employer, but could also, through investigation and suggestion, secure better employes. White Offiolale Express Regret. In his work in Indianapolis, Mr. Taylor was in constant touch and contact with the white general secretary and members of the general board, and when he was leaving, the directors of the general board, A.

TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, Ala. — Nearly eight hundred students were here on the opening day of the thirty-fifth annual session of the Tuskegee Normal and Industrial Institute. For several days students were coming in for the opening and special cars from neighboring States were attached to every train. From early morning till late in the evening long lines of eager-faced boys and girls were lined up in the registrar's office receiving their assignments to classroom, shop and dormitory, and just as rapidly as they were placed there were immediate signs of adjustment and getting down to work. The regular daily routine was observed from rising bell at 5.30 a.m. till the sounding of taps at 9.30 p.m. There was the call to the drill grounds for the boys at 8 o'clock, at which time the cadet-recruits were lined up and assigned to their different companies, at twelve there was another bugle call for the march to dinner; during the afternoon teachers in the various trades and in the academic building met the new students and new classes and planned the work for the fall term. A brief session of the night school and prayer meeting in the chapel rounded out a busy day for the teachers and officers and a day filled with many thrills for the hundreds of new students.

NEW JERSEY PRIMARIES, TUESDAY, SEPT. 26 Vote For JOSEPH S. FRELINGHUYSEN FOR UNITED STATES SENATOR STATE INSPECTOR OF NEGRO RURAL SCHOOLS North Carolina Only State In Union With Colored Man as Inspector. CHAS. H. MOORE HOLDS PLACE Greensboro Man, After One Year's Work, Makes Report Which Shows Some Commendable Results Achieved -$50,000 to $75,000 Increased School Appropriations Is One Result of His Work. (Special to The New York Age.) GREENSBORO, N. C.—North Carolina is the only State in the Union which has a colored man employed at State inspector of Negro schools, the position filled by Prof. Charles H. Moore of this city under the Rural School Extension Department of the North Carolina State Teachers' Association. The work is done in co-operation with and under the supervision of the State Department of Education, J. Y. Joyner, State superintendent, and it is outlined and planned by N C Newbold, of the Department Rural Elementary. The salary attaching to this position is raised entirely by the colored people of the State, through the Rural School Extension Department, of which Dr. J. B. Dudley is president and Dr. A. M. Moore is secretary-treasurer. But the work was established under the direct authorization of the State Superintendent, and Prof. Moore makes a report of his work to a representative of the State Department of Education. As a result of the work of the State Inspector of Negro Schools, the colored rural schools of the State have been the gainer by from $50,000 to $75,000 being added to their school appropriations during the past year. In his first report for the school year from September 1, 1915, to June 30, 1916, Prof. Moore covers exhaustively the work which he has accomplished. He visited thirty-five counties, traveling more than twelve thousand miles. In his efforts to stimulate interest and a desire for better educational conditions in the rural districts, he has addressed meetings of all sorts, talking to probably 100,000 people. State Gives Co-operation. The co-operation and assistance of the State Department, Education, and Agriculture rally enlisted the aid of the county superintendents, many of whom were exceptionally cordial in their treatment. The Inspector in this report sets forth that he endeavored always to commit the people to the policy of self-help, and in this he was successful to a large degree. In many communities the people became enthusiastic and entered upon the work with zeal, raising money or giving material and labor for new school houses. Prot Moore quotes figures from the State Tax Commission Report for 1915 showing that colored freeholders in the thirty-five counties he visited were assessed for taxes on real and personal property amounting to $203,831. There were these counties 186,165 colored school children, but only 43 new school houses had been erected for these children during one year. He quotes also for the report of N. C, Newbold, State Agent for Colored Rural Schools, in which Mr. Newbold declares that the average Negro rural school house is really a disgrace to, an independent, civilized person, telling "in unmistakable terms of a story of injustice, inhumanity and neglect on the part of our white people." Irregularities Corrected. In the course of his work, one of the important accomplishments brought about by Prof. Moore was that irregular practices by local school authorities, by which money for Negro schools was diverted to other purposes, were discovered; reported to the State Department of Education, and in many instances were rectified. His report says of this matter "During my visits to some of the counties I have been informed of not a few irregularities in practice by some of the local school authorities, which are not in harmony with justice and fairness to the colored schools in those counties. How long such a policy has provided is known only to those who have control of the situation. "The most serious irregularities which I discovered was where thousands of dollars had been diverted from their proper channel; that is to say, instead of being used for the benefit of the colored children, whose parents' properties had been assessed in local districts as special taxes for school purposes, this money had been spent in helping to build school houses, supplying more teachers, or increasing the school term of the white schools. "I am glad to say, however, that wherever I have had such unfair dealings with out people on the part of the local school authorities, and have reported the same to the State Department of Education, the matter has promptly been taken cognizance of by the Department, and the injustice has been in part if not wholly remedied."

WILLIAMS TRUSTEE, DIELY SUNDAY Seth L. low, upbuilder of Columbia University, former Mayor of New York, previously twice Mayor of Brooklyn, and chairman of the Board of Trustees of Tuskegee Institute, died Sunday afternoon, September 17, at Broad Brook Farm, his estate between Bedford Hills and Mount Kisco, N. Y. He was sixty-six years old. When Mr. Low went to his country residence early in May he was suffering from indigestion. Dr. Charles F. Chapman of Mount Kisco was called in, and he and his father, Dr. Francis Chapman, had been in almost constant attendance. Mr. Low's condition became so grave Sunday that his nurses' curriedly called the younger Dr. Chapman. Before the physician arrived Mr. Low was dead. Mrs. Low and the members of the household were with him at the last. Born in Brooklyn, January 18, 1850, he came of a long-line of merchants and men of culture. His grandfather, for whom he was named, was a Harvard bred merchant who, previous to his settlement in New York, did a prosperous business in Salem, Mass. His father, Abiel Abbott, low, founded a great business in the importation of tea and silk in New York and at one time had a fleet of more than a dozen clipper ships engaged in the Gilt trade. As an educator and publicist, institutions of learning showered honors on Seth Low, Amherst, U. of University of the State of New York, Harvard, University of Pennsylvania, University, Princeton, Yale and the University of Edinburgh bestowed the honor of LLD, noon him. He was a delegate to the Conference he met some of the greatest minds in Europe, and a trustee of the Carnegie Institution, Washington. He was deeply interested in the work of the late Dr. Booker T. Washington at Tuskegee Institute, and was a member of the Board of Trustees, being chairman of that body at the time of his death. The funeral services were held Wednesday morning at 12 o'clock from St George's Church, 7 Rutherford place New York City, and many of the organizations with which he had been connected sent delegations to attend the services. Major Robert R. Moton, principal, and Warren Logan, treasurer, of Tuskegee Institute, came to New York for the funeral, and headed a delegation of colored citizens who joined in paying the last tribute of respect to the honored dead. Among those in the delegation were Counselors Wilford H. Smith, E. A Johnson, the Rev. Drs. A. Clayton Powell, W. H. Brooks, Richard M. Bolden, Drs. E. P. and C. H. Roberts, J. E. Nail, J B Nail, H. C. Parker, Fred R Moore, James W. Johnson, Lester A Walton, J. Rosamond Johnson, Ralph E Langston. A handsome floral tribute was sent by Tuskegee Institute. The New York Chamber of Commerce, of which he was a former president, was closed during Wednesday afternoon as a mark of respect, and the vice-presidents and executive committee of that body were designated by the president to attend the funeral as a delegation from the Chamber of Commerce. Flags on all public buildings were placed, by order of Mayor Mitchel, at half mast after announcement of his death was received, and kept there until after the funeral. Interment was in Greenwood Cemetery. NEGRO TROOPERS INVENT GUNPOWDER MANILA, P. L.-Experiments made with a new gunpowder invented by Troopers William Peters and Kyle Arnell of the Ninth Cavalry, stationed at this point, were highly successful.

E. Church, New York City, will preach the opening sermon Returns to Noon Wednesday Show William M. Calder Leading Robert Bacon in the Race for United S ates Senator by a Probable Majority of Thirteen Thousand — Independence League for Wilson. Governor Whitman, as indicated in the early returns, polled Tuesday an unusually large Republican primary vote throughout the state, burying his only Republican opponent, Sen. William M. Bennet, by about 143,000 majority. Upstate the race was remarkably close. Returns fro m761 out of 3,640 districts gave Waltman 1,459, Seabury 1,545. This ratio, if carried out, would give Seabury a majority upstate of about 400. The Governor, however, carried the city by an estimated majority of 3,000. Calder Leading Bacon. William M. Calder, of Brooklyn, evidently won the Senatorship nomination handily over his Republican opponent, Robert Bacon. Reports to Republican State Headquarters up to 11:30 o'clock Wednesday showed William M. Calder leading Robert Bacon in the Republican Senatorial primary poll, returns. With 1,273 districts missing the count was: Calder, 116,401; Bacon, 112,129. At 11.30 o'clock Calder claimed his nomination over Bacon by between 5,000 and 10,000. At the same hour it appeared that Gov. Whitman had defeated Judge Samuel Seabury for the Progressive nomination for Governor by from 2,000 to 3,000. Whitman Wina Progressives. The early returns from some of the city boroughs indicated that Governor Whitman had nearly doubled the Seabury vote in a considerable number of election districts. Particularly in Brooklyn, 100 election districts out of 773 in the borough gave Whitman 311 and Seabury 162. Calder, as expected, ran far ahead of Bacon in the former's home borough. Brooklyn, receiving a vote of about 51 percent, had hundred election districts gave Calder 5,291 and Bacon 1,010. In the whole city 510 election districts out of 2,079 gave Calder 10,337 and Bacon only 3,739. The Republican vote for Governor Whitman in this city indicated that he would lead Bennett by about 50,000. Eight hundred and sixty election districts out of the 3,079, gave Whitman 24,003 and Bennett 4,086. Bennett received a much larger proportion of votes in some of the upstate counties where a strong anti-Whitman sentiment had developed, but the gain over the Governor made no material showing. Three hours after the polls closed the returns from all over the state indicated that the old line parties had polled an unusually large primary vote while the Progressive vote would fall far short of the enrollment of 46,306. The keen contests in the Progressive column were expected to show pretty accurately what was left of the Bull Moose organization in the state, although the percentages in primary elections are always small, compared with the regular elections. The vote was evidently a sorry disappointment to the radical element of the Progressives, who still entertain a hope of rescuing something of value from the wreckage of their party NEGRO POULTRYMAN WINS MORE HONORS Special to True New York, Acq. Special to the NEW YORK ACE LOS ANGELES, Ky. - At the Kentucky State Fair, Ipeld here this month, Frank R Willis, the first man to introduce the Cornish chicken hereabouts, swept prac- tically all the honors in a poultry show equal in numbers and class to the big New York shows. His Cornish cock, "Mohawk," prize winner in 1915, was again awarded first prize, and "standing Bear III," "Mohawk's" son, was second, Mr. Willis' entries took first, second, third, fourth and fifth in the hen class, and third cockerel, in open competition.

Visitors are always welcome to inspect the factory. LANGSTON, IS SUPPORTING HUGHES FOR PRESIDENT Ralph E. Langston, a colored Democrat of National repute, and for twenty years a factor in local politics, has caused consternation in the camp of the colored Wilson supporters by coming out for Hughes. Four years ago Mr. Langston was one of the first Negroes in the East to espouse the candidacy of Woodrow Wilson for President of the United States. RALPH E. LANGSTON During the campaign he not only worked to bring about Wilson's election but contributed financially to the Democratic campaign fund. Mr. Langston now emphatically declares: "Never again," and has voluntarily rolled up his sleeves to help bring about the election of Mr. Hughes, which he predicts is inevitable. The colored Democratic leader resents the hostile attitude of Mr. Wilson and the Administration at Washington toward the Negro, and says he does not see how any self-respecting member of the race can support the Democratic standard bearer this year. "In 1912 I gave. Mr. Wilson enthusiastic support because I was a Democrat and for the reason that I thought it a good thing to show the white Democrats of the country that all colored voters were not controlled by the Republican party. I was under the impression that if Mr. Wilson and his subordinates saw that the Negro divided his "vote they would be disposed to treat him fairly during the Wilson Administration. Instead of being accorded fair treatment, however, the Negro has been treated most shabbiably, and I hope every colored voter, be he Republican or Democrat, take the opportunity, to show the President that the Negro strikes back at his enemies the same as other self-respecting races." Mr. Langston, who is a son of the late John M. Langston, began to vote the Democratic ticket twenty years ago, joining Tammany Hall, which has always been friendly toward the colored voters. For years he was chief adviser to Chief Edward E. Lee, who, as leader of colored Tammany Democrats, did more for members of the race than any other man as chief. When prominently identified with Tammany Hall Mr. Langston enjoyed the confidence and respect of Croker, Murphy and other influential members of the organization.

IT WAS DIFFERENT IN 1912 Then Wilson Democrats Were Numerous and Argued Long, and Often for Democ- cratic Nominee. CURIOSITIES OF CAMPAIGN "Colored Wilsonians" Looked Upon with Interest but Viewed with Suspicion—Sudden Change of Front Within Past Three Months—Jingle of Money Lags. (By Staff Correspondent of The Age.) Washington, D. C.—Of the many types of political workers conspicuous in the present Presidential campaign, the colored Democrat who is making a feeble effort to whoop up things for Woodrow Wilson is, perhaps, the most interesting. He is interesting to the members of his race, North, East, South and West, because deep down in their hearts they know his advocacy of Wilson's re-election is insincere and contrary to human nature. Self-reporting Negroes in particular regard with unusual curiosity any colored person who has the temerity to declare publicly that he favors the re-election of Woodrow Wilson, and knowing, too, that not since the Civil War has the race been subjected to such a drastic anti-Negro policy as under the present administration. Negroes believe in the efficacy of prayer, and they are praying long and earnestly that Mr. Wilson's regime at the White House end. March 4, 1917. They feel confident their prayers will be answered. But when they gaze upon some political monstrosity who advances the argument that the Negro ought to support the Democratic nominee in November, then prayerful attitude gives way to an inclination to indulge in more forceful and personal language. Show Plenty of Space The "colored Wilsonian" should be praised for one thing—his nerve—although some assert that nerve in this instance is mistaken for dumbness. On the other hand, those who believe that the colored-Wilsonian is displaying nerve of the rarest vintage declare with equal candor that in their humble opinion the colored political workers supporting Woodrow Wilson are actuated mainly by a desire to come in daily contact with three square meals a day, liquid refreshments at irregular intervals, and a place to sleep plus freshly laundered bed linen. Dire necessity, it is argued, is mainly responsible for the nerve shown by the colored Wilsonian Democrat, who has gone through three very lean years. Not being particularly fond of hard work, even though it is plentiful just now as the result of the European war, he has patiently waited for the quadrennial harvest, which is here. Unlike four years ago, when hundreds of colored voters of the North were urging the election of Wilson, believing that a "vision of the Negro" vote would mean more political prestige for the race, the colored Democratic worker now goes about quethy, doing a "Gum Shoe Bill" stunt. In the 1912 campaign he was the noisiest of the noisy, and was always full of argument. Four years ago Wilsonian Democrats were predicting to colored Republicans that Woodrow Wilson was going to do great things for the Negro, if elected. Then they were inspired by the letter Mr. Wilson had written to Bishop Walters, which was pregnant with friendly promises. Today colored Democrats find themselves in a most embarrassing position. In discussing what the present administration has done for the colored man the only material they have at hand is most damaging—that Wilson turned out all Negroes holding representative positions and sanctioned "Jim Crowism" in the departments at Washington and throughout the country. More Noise Than Logic. Now and then you may find some colored Wilsonian Democrat, who has become stronger in body and whose imagination has been developed since he was put on the jaywalk, engaged in a controversy, contending that Negroes should vote for the present incumbent, but in doing so he puts up the usual "harpier shop argument", which consists of more more than logic. Some ambitious drastist should find good material in a play entitled "The Lure of the Comitie it he closely studied the movements of the colored Wilson supporters for the past four years. In the Tait-Wilson-Rosevelt campaign this political species lived in an atmosphere of exaggerated optimism. They predicted that when Woodrow Wilson became President he was going to outdo his predecessors in appointing colored men to position of honor and trust. March 4, 1913 found the colored population on the District of Columbia greatly increased, with the presence of poor whites from the South in droves attracted more attention. Negro applicants began to arrive at Washington from all sections, and usually there were six applicants for every position. Some came, promptly aled their applications and hastily left for home; others took up temporary residence in Washington because of some little difference they were unable to adjust with the railroads. Some of the boarding house keepers in the district yet have a number of differences to adjust, for as a rule a colored Wilsonian Democrat is certainly a hearty cater—whenever he can get close enough to a well-provisioned table, or even a lunch counter. After Mr. Wilson became an occupant of the "White House he found his time so taken up it was impossible for him to see a colored visitor. So the small army of colored duplicates sometimes saw Secretary Tumu'u,v and there were occasions when they did not even get so far as seeing the President gave excels' for the singular conduct of Mr. Wilson. They gave out information that so exacting were the new duties of the President that it was impossible for him to take up the question of colored appointments until later on. Lived in Hopes. When colored Republicans pointed to the fact that the door of the, White House was always opened to certain colored men during the administration of Roosevelt and Taft, no matter how busy these two Presidents may have been, and when it was further shown that Mr. Wilson was not too busy to receive daily hordes of white applicants from the South, the colored Wilsonians, still full of hope, but lacking in proper nourishment, would give assurance that Mr. Wilson was going to surely make good his promise to deal fairly with the colored brother. Then came the segregation orders, separating the white, and colored employees, which would prevent pro policy administration and making the poor white clerks from the South happy. For "drawing the color line" made them feel that at last they had reached a position in life where they could show to the world that they were really "better" than somebody Even segregation did not lessen the confidence some colored Democrats had in Wilson, and they predicted the time would come when the colored people of the United States would have good reason to hail the President as a true friend of all the poor and struggling—not merely the poor whites from Dixie. But after one year had passed and the only acts of Wilson had been to remove Negroes from important positions because of their color, and after another had been made, the department had been made—that of James L. Curtis as Minister to Liberia—murmurings of discontent could be heard on every hand, and even colored Wilsonian Democrats began to accuse the President of acting in bad faith. A Sudden Change. Six months ago not a Negro could be seen on the political horizon who favored the re-election of Woodrow Wilson. Even three months ago the President was being denounced by colored Democrats for failing to keep his word in the matter of appointing Negroes to office. But all of a sudden a jingle of the money bags held by the treasurer of the Democratic Campaign Committee was heard, and colored Wilson men were seen about the headquarters of the committee in the Forty-second Street Building, New York. An "organization of enthusiastic colored Wilson men (even what they are "enthusiastic" having been deleted by censor) has been formed and, according to the last issue of THE ACE, headquarters have been established in New York and Chicago. An active campaign is to be made in the doubtful states to win over the colored voters for the Democratic nominee, but the colored Wilson men have been working in a doubtful state. They already know just how much progress will be made in the interest of Woodrow Wilson. It is said that several have asked the Democratic managers to get out accident insurance polities for them. In the formation of the organization which is to make an appeal to the colored voters of the country, asking that Woodrow Wilson be voted for, in November, one important piece of information is gleaned from the stationery. All the officers are colored but one—Judge Hudspeth.of New Jersey He holds the important position of treasurer. Judge Hudspeth is one of the men who made Woodrow Wilson Governor of New Jersey, and four years ago, although a white man, and a broad, fair-minded gentleman, had charge of the Negro end of the Wilson campaign. Why Judge Hudspeth has been made treasurer of the colored organization has not as yet been given out for publication. P. S.—In last week's issue of The Auz it was reported that fifteen colored workers had been assigned to the New York headquarters and ten to the Chicago branch It is easy to figure out the number of colored Wilson men in this country at this writing. Race Business Advertising (Continued from page one) cording to the amount invested, and so the small merchant with limited capital will give his money the same purchasing power as the merchant with large capital. This would enable the race merchant to sell his goods just as cheaply as the same goods could be sold by any other merchant. This co-operation in purchasing would naturally lead to cooperation in fixing a selling price and to a combining of interests which would work to the advantage of every merchant in the combination. There would be no slackening of competition among the merchants, but there would follow a quickening of effort, a toning up of store conditions and all phases of the business would take on a more healthful activity. Marchants Should Advertise. The membership of the Colored Business Men's Association should embrace every Negro in Greater New York engaged in business enterprise of any sort. And every Negro merchant in Greater New York should be using every means in his power to give the people the best goods at lowest possible prices and to let the people know that he is prepared to do so. As a matter of fact, the advertising of his business would be as much an expense charge to the merchant as the rental of a building in which to do business. The merchant must realize that a clean, well-kept and complete stock of goods only represents an outlay of capital as long as it remains in his shelves. Just as a buyer is invested to put money in his money invested to bring in customers. The merchant who is looking for customers must remember that the customer is looking for goods. A prospective buyers must find what is wanted before becoming a customer. The merchant who does not keep and will not get what the prospective buyer wants cannot expect to have that person as a customer. In fact, unless the buyer is satisfied, the merchant has no right to expect his trade. It is not sufficient that both are members of the business. Still, the zero merchant must give his customer satisfaction or he will not get the trade. In other words, the Negro merchant must be a real business man before he can hope to have and hold the business to be had from the purchasing class of the race.

In the death of Seth Low, New York City loses one of its most useful citizens. He was a man born to great wealth, but he did not waste his life in idleness and pleasure. For more than thirty years he was a leader in every great civic movement undertaken in this city and state. Under his presidency, Columbia was developed from an old fashion college into one of the great universities of the world. His whole career, while not marked by any exceptional brilliancy, was one of highest usefulness. And not only has New York lost a useful citizen but the colored people have lost a sincere friend. For many years, Seth Low was a supporter of Dr. Washington's work, and at the time of his death was Chairman of the Trustee Board of Tuskegee Institute. We tender sincere sympathy to his bereaved family. HOODLUMISM IN HARLEM. The sight of three or four hundred colored boys, and young men rushing through the streets of Harlem on the night of September 15, breaking up the straw hats of pedestrians is not one of which to be-proud. In fact, such actions ought not to be overlooked or condoned; they ought to be condemned and stopped. This foolish custom was started years ago by the brokers on the Stock Exchange. It was fun for these busy men to smash the lid of any member who ventured on the floor in a straw hat on the 15th of September. For them it was a game, and one they could afford to play. The custom spread and for several years has been practiced by colored youths in Harlem. This custom, among members of the stock exchange, might be excused, as rough play, but when it is practiced on the streets it is nothing less than hoodlumism. In instances where the owner of the straw hat objects, it sometimes amounts to assault and battery. Of course white boys and young men do the same thing, but there are lots of things white people can do that we cannot afford to do. Colored youths can learn, even from stock brokers, something better than breaking up other people's hats. COMPARATIVE Recently The Age pointed out that of fifty-five thousand National Guardsmen in actual service on the Mexican border, less than two thousand were from Southern States; and of twenty-eight thousand still in their state camps, twenty-five thousand were Southern troops. The other day, Senator Lodge in a speech stated these same figures, with the result of bringing forth a volume of protest from the section south of the Mason-Dixon line. Secretary of War Baker is seeking to even up things by ordering all the Southern troops VIEWS and REVIEWS JAMES W. JOHNSON, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR EMOTIONALISM. One of the definitions of the word "emotionalism" which the Standard Dictionary gives is the following: "The habit of appealing to the emotions, rather than to the conscience or the judgment." This is the sense in which we wish to consider the term. Emotionalism on the part of the majority of colored public speakers has been for a long time, and still is a positive detriment to the race. We once read in some book a statement in which the author said that some of the most eloquent addresses he had ever listened to had been made by colored speakers, but he had yet to hear a colored man make a logical speech. Of course, this author had not heard all the colored speakers. Evidently, at the time of making his statement he had not heard Booker T. Washington, whose eloquence, whose greatest claim to oratory, was based almost entirely upon the convincing manner in which he presented facts. Nevertheless, the criticism contains more truth than falsehood. It seems that many colored speakers are unable to resist the temptation to indulge in mere eloquence; to fly among the clouds, or wade through the seas, or descend into hell; in fact, go anywhere rather than stand on the solid earth. Now, eloquence is an essential element in a convincing speech, but the eloquence which consists of mere noise and wind and gas is not worth the muscular exertion and the perspiration that it takes to produce it. But there is another side to this question. If our only objection to the eloquence of noise and wind and gas was that it doesn't do any good, we wouldn't take the time and space to write about it; but to us as a race it works absolute harm, and that is why we speak of it. We are, by nature, an emotional people. It is easy for us to laugh, to weep, to sing, to dance. Emotionality is one of our racial gifts. It is the gift that is going to enable us some day to make a finer artistic contribution to American civilization than any other group in our population. But in order to do this, our emotions must be concentrated, not expanded. Steam floating around in the air, is as powerless as a whiff of cigarette smoke but confined in a cylinder, it is a giant. These "hot air" orators are expanding our emotions. they are diluting them, driving them off into thin air. In fact, their "eloquence" is a sort of drug that is enervating our racial powers. What we, as a race, need is to have our emotions compressed, so that through them we may accomplish something, and not to have them expended in mere hysteries. Moreover, this brand of eloquence is incapacitating our people for the mental effort which an audience should make. An audience which is accustomed to nothing but wind and gas finds it difficult and distasteful to listen to a common-sense address, in which facts and information are presented. Such an audience does not want to be convinced, it wants only to be moved. An audience that is accustomed to one of these "sounding brass" orators has not the ability to listen to a speaker who has a real message. We have among us speakers and preachers who never feel that they have done a good job unless they work their hearers up into a frenzy. What is the motive behind these men? Nothing but sheer vanity. They are not thinking about their audiences, they are thinking about themselves. It is never their intention to benefit their listeners by giving out truth and information or a new thought, the very things which our people need so much; their sole ambition is to win the verdict of having made a "great speech" or having, preached a "great sermon." And here lies the difference between the true orator and the faker When a man with a message in his mind and on his heart stands before an audience and gives it to them logically and earnestly, he is always eloquent. And that is true eloquence, because it stirs his hearers' minds as well as their emotions. This is the kind of eloquence the Negro stands sorely in need of; for the messages which ought to be driven home to him are many and important. The sooner these noise-making, air-beating, gas-generating "orators" can be run out of the pulpits and off the platforms, the better it will be for the intellectual progress of the race. ARE PULLMAN PORTERS RAILROAD OPERATIVES? Congressman Adamson, of Georgia, sponsor of the Eight-Hour Law, which the Railroad Brotherhoods forced through Congress, uses to defend that Act, and says: "You can say it is all poppycock to talk about being held up for the eight-hour work-day legislation. It was time for that measure and it means as much or more for the public as it does for the Brotherhoods. "The law will stand the test of the courts. I have no fear on that score, and it will apply to all men who operate trains. It does not stop at the 400,000 in the Brotherhoods. We will not stop with that bill. We agree with Mr. Adamson's first statement. We do not believe that Congress was "held up." The whole business looks more like a mutually agreeable political deal, for already the labor leaders are calling upon the unions to vote for "their friends;" i.e., the Democrats, who put the bill through. But we are just now more particularly interested in knowing if the Congressman from Georgia has the Pullman porters in mind when he refers to "all men who operate trains?" Pullman porters work from eight to eighteen hours a day, and if that does not include them under the broad definition of "all men who operate trains" and entitle them to the benefits of this law, we should like to know what would. MEANING OF PREFERENCIALMENTE. Some weeks ago when Carranza agreed to the commission plan for settling the Mexican question, he wrote President Wilson a note stating that the commissioners would "preferencialmente" discuss the withdrawal of the American troops from Mexican territory. The Administration professed to be very much in doubt as to whether now in camp to the border. It is too late to alter the condition as it stood, when the guardsmen were first called out; for now everybody knows there will be no war with Mexico. THE NEW YORK AGE, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 21, 1916. the Spanish word "preferencialmente" should be translated "preferably" or "preferentjally." If Carranza meant "preferably," he simply intended that the commission would prefer to discuss first the withdrawal of the American forces; if Carranza meant "preferentially," he intended that the discussion of the withdrawal of the American troops would take precedence over all other questions, both as to time and importance, if not to their exclusion. So, of course, the Administration was "inclined" to accept the first meaning. In an article at the time, we pointed out that the natural, meaning of the ord "preferencialmente" was "preferentially." The Mexican-American Commission has begun its deliberations at New London. (We place Mexican ahead of American because the Commission appears to be so much more Mexican than American.) At the opening of the first real business session, Senor Luis Cabrera, Chairman of the Mexican section, asserted that the deliberations were confined to the withdrawal of American troops from Mexico. He complained that the American press had embarrassed him greatly by conveying to Mexico an impression that the internal affairs of that country were being allowed to come up for consideration by the Commission. He further said; "I have received a telegram from Mexico asking about this matter, and in answer I authorize a denial that we are considering anything except the withdrawal of the troops and the border situation. I am not empowered to consider anything else." By this, the obvious meaning of a word over which the Administration was in such doubt has been made clear to it. And more than this will soon be made clear. It will be made clear to the entire country that this whole commission plan never was anything more than another move on the President's part to postpone decision and action. Mexicans have despoiled and killed American citizens in Mexico. They have invaded American territory and killed our citizens and soldiers upon our own soil. Soldiers under the command of the Mexican president have ambushed and shot American troopers to death. None of these outrages are being mentioned; but representatives of this Government are holding a useless parley with representatives of Mexico, and trying to lend them money so that they wont trouble us any more. The whole thing would be funny in a comic opera. It appears to us that it would have been entirely reasonable for President Wilson, in reply to Carranza's note, to have stated that the commission would "preferencialmente" discuss some reparation, if only an apology, for the death of the American troopers that fell at Carrizal. WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY LAST WORD IN JOURNALISM. To the Editor of The Age: I am enclosing herewith my renewal. I cannot afford to muss an issue. I have been reading The Age for a great many years and it does seem to me that it grows better. While I take a half dozen good colored papers there is not one that can fill the place of The Age. In fact, I do not see how one can keep posted right up to the minute, unless he reads this paper. At the risk of being too fulsome in my praise, I must say that yan and your efficient staff are putting out a paper, that is to my mind, the very last word in journalism of this kind. D. A. BETHEA, M. D. Terra Ilaute, Ind. FOR FREELINGHUYSEN AND EDGE. To the Editor of The Age On September 26 the primaries will be held in this State. I believe it to be to the best interest of the colored voters to support Hon. Walter E. Edge for Governor and J. S. Frelinghuysen for the United States Senate. I am informed that when a bill was introduced in the legislature in 1909 to prevent colored men from wearing certain secret order emblems, Senator Colgate voted for the bill and Mr. Frelinghuysen voted against the bill. I cannot see why any colored man belonging to a secret order should not vote for Mr. Frelinghuysen. And for the same reason, they should vote against Mr. Colgate and elect Hon. Walter Edge. I am running for county executive committeeman of the Third Ward in this city, but the machine has put a white candidate in the field against me. It will now been seen whether the colored voters prefer, to he represented by their own race or by a white man. Yours for Republican success. W. F. COZART. Atlantic City, N. J. PLAINFIELD, N. J.

(BY ALEXANDER BRISSON) Presented at the Lafayette Theatre, Seventh avenue, between 131st and 133rd street, week of September 18, by the Lafayette Stock Company. CAST Louis Florist Tom Brown Raymond Florist, Jr., his son, Walker Thompson Noel his friend Babe Winnend Dr. Chanel H. Winnend Valmorin Fred Halsted Lerouque Lawrence Chenault Parissard J. Brown Merivale Sidney Grant Victor E. E. Drums Providing Judge C. E. Drums Rose Miss Laura Blowmann Helene Miss Iris Hall Marie Miss Alice Gorgas and MADAM X Miss ABBIE MITCHELL, Jury, Gendarmes, Public, Etc. . (BY LUCIEN H. WHITE) The Lafayette Stock Company has done some very commendable work during the past months in the presentation of big Broadway successes, but it must be said without reservation that the high-water mark of its efforts has been attained in the present week's effort, the giving of that drama of tremendous heart-reaching intensity—Brisson's "Madame X." It is a strange story which is unfolded by the master French playwright, and strong and capable artists are needed for its interpretation. cessitated in the development of the plot. "Madame X" is a play that reaches the heart of the most callous, and under the unfolding of its gripping chapters the audience that filled the theatre from the orchestra pit to the farthest row in the top balcony sat breathlessly silent until it lacked but a few minutes to midnight. It was a big complimut, and a well-deserved one, that the audience paid to the actors, when the last one remained until the falling of the last curtain. Nearly three hours and a half were required for the play, and yet at its close many of the audience were trying to demand curtain calls from the exhausted players. Tom Brown has never done anything to surpass his work as Louis Floriot, the stern and unforgiving husband. In the prologue his work was surprisingly excellent. For the first time I heard him bring into play an intensity of dramatic force, a clearness of enunciation, and an intellectual quality that has heretofore been absent from his interpretations. He had a surreiness, a poise, an understanding, that placed the stamp of authority upon his work. And this standard was not lowered with the progress of the play. Babe Townsend, as Noel, his Friend, gave just the proper strength to a character that could easily have been overplayed. As Madame X, the woman of mystery, who is really Jacqueline, the discarded wife of Floriot, Abbie Mitchell proved her right to be classed as a great actress. I say this advisedly, and with a full consciousness of what it means. In my mind's eye I have visualized the efforts of some of the greatest stage women of the world, including the great Sarah Bernhardt, who added to her already luminous fame by her wonderful interpretation of the title role in this play. And it is with the achievements of these women in my mind that I repeat, Abbie Mitchell is a great artist. It is probable, and may be true, that she has not the large experience which would give her a perfect technique, but that is to be acquired. She has the temperament, the artistic sense, the pliability of mind, the knowledge of tone quality, the intellectual equipment, and, above all, the ability to subordinate her personality into that of the character she is portraying, which things are absolute requirements in the development of an artist. It is not possible to think of Abbie Mitchell when Madame X is on the stage. One sees only the fallen and degraded woman who in the depths of her misery is still clinging to that wonderful mother-love which is the divinie and inalienable right of every woman who has given birth to a child. Walker Thompson as Raymond Floriot, the son of Louis Floriot and his wife Jacqueline, did not bring to his interpretation in the beginning all the needed strength; in fact, in the second act he was a bit weak, but he more than atoned for this in the final act when, in that wonderful court scene, he knowingly was defending his mother and by the power of his eloquent appeal won from the jury a verdict of acquittal for her on the charge of murder. This week brings back into the Lafayette Stock Company a public favorite, Lawrence Chenault. As Lorose, the thief, associate of crooks, and erstwhile lover of the degraded Madame X, she showed considerable improvement over his past efforts. As Presiding Judge of the Assizes Court, he acted with dignity and pride Miss Laura Bowman as Rose maintained her most excellent reputation as an interpreter of character DRAMATICS AND ATHLETICS parts, and Miss Iris Hall made a most charming little Helene, the fance of young Raymond. Miss Alice Gorgas is making her first appearance with the Lafayette company, having the part of Marie, a hotel chambermaid. It may be attributed to her lack of experience, certainly it is charitable to suppose so, but it was unfortunate that in her scene with Madame X, the fortune-telling episode, she should not only have forgotten her lines, but also that she should excite the risibilities of the audience by doing a comedy cry. E. E. Abrams as Victor and H. Williams as Dr. McChesnel fitted in fairly well, but the less said about others of the cast the better. The company will take "Madame X" to Washington next week, and the week of October 2 will find them at the Colonial Theatre, Baltimore. Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt will come to the Lafayette Theatre for the week of September 25, with Blanche Thompson and the Smart-Set Co., in their new vehicle, "How Newtown Prepared." Philadelphia and Baltimore papers have given high praise to the company and New Yorkers are looking forward with interest to the offering of the Smart Set people.

Billie Burke, manager of the New Lincoln Theatre, is busily preparing his house for the change of policy which will mean the elimination of photo-plays and vaudeville on October 9. Dramatics, with all star colored players, appearing in productions of proven successes will be the order of entertainment offered for the fall and winter seasons. A deal has been consummated by this wide-awake manager with a. New York play syndicate, that will allow the New Lincoln to reproduce a long string of the very latest great plays which have all had a successful career in the great Metropolis The celebrated film play "The Hypocrites" is billed at the Lincoln Theatre, Spindy, September 24. There has been much discussion regarding the mission of this unusual play, and the censor boards in various states prohibit the showing of it on the ground that it has a tendency to commercialize nudity. The allegorical figure entitled "The Spirit of Truth" is portrayed by Miss Margaret Edwards, supposed to be the most beautifully formed woman on the American stage. However, here in New York the film play has enjoyed a remarkable success and since its premier at the Lonacrore Theatre, it has been shown in every first-class house in the city devoted to photplays. The Strand theatre has revived it during the present month, and while there are many who will see the immodest side in the production, there are authorities, who proclaim that the story as produced is an exquisitely pure and beautiful play. There is nothing about the picture that could be termed immoral or hurtful to those who witness it, nor can it be construed as suggestive. The movie clientel of the New Lincoln Theatre will have an opportunity to pass upon the merits of the film whence it is shown there next Sunday, in conjunction with a high-class vaudeville program and the first chapter of the widely advertised serial, entitled "The Grip of Evil." BALTIMORE, M4.—The whites are again after the Colonial Theatre, merchants along Eutaw street having filed another protest against the colored players with Mayor Preston Monday. The Mayor told the kickers that he was powerless to do anything in view of the injunction that the courts had ed that a modification of the court order he secured. The success of the stock company has aroused the ire of many whites, including the managers of theatres which have hitherto enjoyed a large gallery patronage from colored people. The kicking merchants all enjoy good colored patronage, and their stand in the matter may cause them to lose much of this trade, and some colored people are already boycotting them. One colored recalled a $200 order he had given one of the anti-Negro kickers. Joe Simms' Minstrels, with a company of twelve, is at the New Lincoln Theatre, Baltimore. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS riddler & Shelton are billed for Winnipeg, Manitoba, the week of September 25, playing the Strand Theatre.

Sporting Notes At the Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue, on last Friday night, the star bout was to have been between Buddy Faulks and K. O Eggers, but Faulks failed to appear Terry Martin, being the best boy available, was substituted and he made a creditable showing considering the short time he had. Martin carried Eggers so fast that he did not have time to self himself so he could deliver his heavy punches as he generally does. Martin fought his opponent with more confidence than he did in any of his previous bouts. He continually ricked the white boy's head with uppercuts and straight jabs, and then he would send over a stiff right to the jaw occasionally. Eggers stood all Martin was able to deliver and kept boring in for more, but Terry kept a safe lead in every round of ten and at the end of the bout K. O. Eggers was a much battered-up boy. Martin did not have a mark on A REVELATION him, and easily deserved the decision. Weights: Martin, 119; Eggers, 121. Darky Griffin, the old master of cleverness, demonstrated to the fight fans that he is still there with the footwork when he just emothered Young Marino with uppercuts and jabs. Marino took the place of Billy Fitzsimmons, whose doctor would not let him box on account of illness. Griffin made Marino look very foolish for the whole ten rounds by ducking all the leads that he made when they looked dangerous to him, and when he thought that he had let Marino do enough leading he would proceed to hit the Italian boy when and where he pleased. Weights: Griffin, 121½; Marino, 119. Faulks, 115; Zuln Kid, 116. Harlem Sporting Club, Hampton, Rockaway Beach.—On last night Terry Martin, the little colored fighter, who is in rare at present, and who recently defeated K. O. Eggers, added victim to his list when he stop Gardner in the sixth round of round star bout. Martin had in a bad state from the first rowing him for the count in ear with heavy swings to the jaw. Martin, 118, Gardner, 119%. BASEBALL. Olympic Field. The Lincoln Semi-final six rounds — Young Murphy, colored, clearly outpainted Young Moore, white. Murphy was on top of his opponent all the time and had him in bad condition several times, but could not put over the finishing blow Weights: Murphy, 132; Moore, 134. At the Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue, on next Friday night, September 22, the fight fans will witness the best mixed bout staged since the ban was lifted, when Leo Johnson, the colored lightweight champion of the world, meets Phil Bloom, that great fighter from across the bridge. In Johnsion the white boy will find a clever, hard-hitting boy and an opponent able to make him extend himself to make any kind of showing. And the fans' should witness the best fight ever staged at this club. A special six-round bout has been arranged on the same card, when Joe Berman meets George Basden, the clever colored featherweight of Harlem, who is under the same management as Leo Johnson. --- Clermont A. C., Brooklyn—On last Thursday night Battle Gans of New York City met Mike McTigue of Brooklyn, and after fighting a hard battle for ten rounds, in which each would take the lead and then the other, at the end of the bout a draw would have been the proper decision. Weights: Gans, 155; McTigue, 162 Vanderbile A. C., Friday, September 22—Amy Mack has arranged the best bostaged at any club in that borough when K. O. Williams of Savannah, the colored wetterweight champion of the world, and the coming wetterweight champion of the worl dif the present holder can be induced to meet him in the near future, will meet Walter Mohr, the idol of Brooklyn and a very tough young man for any fighter at his weight. But in Williams he will meet the toughest hard-hitting boy he ever met, and the fans may witness a knockout long before the tenth round should Mohr run into, one of Williams' right-hand wall- . . . At the Clermont A. C., Brooklyn, last Monday night, the heavyweight battle between Gunboat Smith and Clevie Hawkins came to an abrupt end in the third round when Smith broke two of Hawkins' ribs. But up to this time the bout was even, both men fighting very hard Weights Hawkins, I82; Smith, . . . At Brown's A. A. Rockaway Beach, on last Friday night, the second meeting of John Lester Johnson, the light heavyweight, and Sailor Grande, the heavyweight, in two weeks. The same men battled a couple of weeks ago and they put up such a grand battle that Bill Brown, matchmaker of Brown's A. A., immediately signed them up, and the fight fans were treated to one of the best fights ever staged at this club. Johnson fought the best battle of his career, and had a decision been given he would have received it Weights: Johnson, 181; Grande, 184 Vanderbilt A. C. Brooklyn...On last Monday evening the best bout ever staged at this club took place between two of the best bantamweights in the world—Buddy Faulks, the fighting little-streak from Newark and the idol of the colored fight fans, and Zulu Kid, the white boy who they claim to be the coming bantamweight champion of the world. If this fight with Faulks counts for anything, then Mr. Zulu Kid had better look for someone easier than the colored boy to win the title from, or when he wins it stay shy of a boy named Faulks, as the colored boy clearly demonstrated that he is the class at the bantamweight limit and a, very stiff puncher. Several times during the ten rounds he had the Kid in bad shape, shaking him up with stiff rights to the jaw and left uppercuts to the chin. The bout was featured with plenty of action on the part of both men and the club match-makers should match these boys again in the near future. Weights- Faulks, 115; Zulu Kid, 116. Harlem Sporting Club, Hammels Station, Rockaway Beach.—On last Tuesday night Terry Martin, the little East Side colored fighter, who is in rare form just at present, and who recently decisively defeated K. O. Eggers, added another victim to his list when he stopped Harry Gardner in the sixth round of a gem-round stout. Martin had Gardner in a bad state from the first round, flooring him for the count in each round with heavy swings to the jaw. Weights: Martin, 118, Gardner, 119½. BASEBALL Olympic Field.—The Lincoln Giants continued to win from the Chinese when they took them into camp last Sunday, the game being easy for the Giants, as they played rings around the Chinamen.

NEEDLES Practical Furrier Remodeling, Repairing and Blending 15 YEARS' EXPERIENCE Late with a Broadway House 2297 7TH AVE. NEW YORK Bet. 134th and 135th Streets sional men of this city made addresses of welcome on behalf of the church, business and civic life of the city. Bishop Lee presided. The Scripture lesson was read by Dr. Swain, and prayer offered by the Rev. Mr. Auten. Special music was furnished by the choirs of Mother Zion and Fleet Street churches. The address of welcome on behalf of the New York Conference was made by the Rev. P. A. Wallace, pastor of the Fleet Street A. M. E. Zion Church of Brooklyn. He said that the forty-five ministers and three thousand members of the conference would pledge their loyalty to the bishop, and would do their share for the success of the work; that the coming of Bishop Walters to the conference at this time would do much to give the men a new inspiration, and that a man of the bishop's poise and ability was needed for the work at this stage of the conference history. Lawyer E. A. Johnson spoke on behalf of the citizens of New York and praised the bishop as one of the most distinguished citizens of the city, whose residence here had reflected the highest credit upon the city. Mr. Johnson said that the churchman's career had been full of high and distinguished service for the church and race. Mrs. Lulu Robinson Jones rendered several selections. Fred R. Moore, editor of THE New York Age, welcomed the bishop on behalf of the press. The address on behalf of St. Mark's M. E. Church was made by the Rev. W. H. Brooks, its pastor. Dr. Brooks spoke from the point of view of the M. E. Church, and said that the bishop's high service to the race and church made him as much his bishop as of the Zion people. He took occasion to praise the bishop for his independent position in politics, and warmly praised him as a churchman At the conclusion of the addresses the members of the Hudson River, Harlem River and Long Island districts which made up the New York Conference, and various auxiliaries of the church, presented Bishop and Mrs. Walters tokens of affection and esteem. The presentation from the conference was a substantial purse for the bishop and many beautiful bouquets for Mrs. Walters. Presentation addresses on behalf of the conference were made by the Rev. Dr. A. A. Crooke and the Rev. F. M. Jacobs. When the bishop rose to respond to the many high compliments paid him he received a big ovation expressive of the high regard in which he is held by the citizens of this city and his church. He said that his forty years of service in his church has always been for its uplift and betterment. The bishop said that he was against anything that was against the interest of the race. A collation followed, which was partaken of by all present and made the occasion of a delightful social hour. BROOKLYN NOTES A son was born to Mr. and Mrs. Stephen B.
