NEWS THAT IS INFORMING. VOL. XXX No. 8 THURSDAY NOVEMBER 16, 1916 PRICE FIVE CENTS ARREST100MEN AT SAVANNAH Savannah Police Resort to Outrageous Measures to Stop Exodus. More Than One Hundred Negroes Were at Depot to Take Train for the North but are Prevented by Being Arrested. Officers Throw Cordon Around Depot and Arrest Every Negro in the Building, Including Just-Arrived Passengers—Recorder Releases Men and Scores Pollicemen. "While I realize the importance of the shortage of labor in the South and particularly in Savannah, and while I realize that many merchants and manufacturers here desire the exodus of Negroes to the North stopped, yet, there is another phase of the situation equally as important and that is that Negroes, as other American citizens, have other valuable rights guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States, which give them the privilege of going to Pennsylvania, Kamchatka, Russia or any place they desire and whenever they please." He also touched on the charge placed against the men, lotering, saying, "If these Negroes are the shiftless, lawless kind, those that hang around saloons, good Dunes and alley when you ought to be gillful to have them go, but if they are industrious, thrifty, responsible citizens than they are not saloons and should not be subjected to such wholesale greed." "With these words, Police Recorder Schwarz of the City Recorder's Court ordered the release of more than one hundred Negroes who had been arrested the day before at the Union Depot where trains for various northern points. Not only were the prospective travelers arrested, but every Negro in or about the station at the time, including James H. Butler, associate editor of the Savannah Tribune, was taken in suspicion by the registrar, and was held at the station on business which had no connection with the northern axodus. Police Insaned at Failure. During the past two or three weeks, it appears, about hundred men have left this section to accept positions in factories and on the railroads of the north. The authorities have sought in vain to discover the source from whence they secured transportation. The police determined upon measures of intimidation which were carried out by the arrest of these men. In that section of the station which is set aside for colored passengers, many men were gathered. The police officers came up about the station, and formed a cordon around the station. Without explanation as to charges preferred or crime alleged to be committed, every Negro in the station was placed under arrest, bundled into the wagons and hustled to the station house where they were incarcerated. The men were held for 100 hours of the number being able to furnish it and secure their release. Indiscriminate Arreata- Among the number arrested who were in no wise connected with the exodus movement, in addition to Mr. Butler, were four carpenters from Lumpkin, Ga., who had just arrived in the city with a contractor who had with a contractor the police disregarded them. A young man on his way to visit relatives at Burroughs, Ga., was arrested as he entered the deputy; an employee of the Pullman Company, going into the station to get a check. Another harasser case was that of a man of propossessing appearance, middle-aged, who was enroute from Jacksonville to New York, and who was waiting at the station until time to go near to the New York steamer. The local branch of the National Urban League of New York, and several months ago, when college students from various points were going to Hartford, Comm. to work in the tobacco fields, he was arrested and charged with violating the immigration laws. He was, as required, Triil a Farce: When the nurse apprehended in this whole ward were called before Record board, the only testimony board was of the chief of detectives and the lieutenants. Before any further testimony could be given, the record board put the trial and delivered the written volume quote above, taking the police column to unbraid the police column to the outer disregard of STRONG ADDRESS TO BUSINESS MEN'S BODY The York Colored Business Men's Association and Women's Branch was addressed on November 7 at the Baptist Tabernacle, West 138th street, by Arthur Brisck, a prominent white business man, whose subject was "Patronize Our Own." The meeting was arranged by the Rev. W. W. Brown, pastor of the Tabernacle, and a large and enthusiastic audience was present. President R. E. Nicholas presided, and made the closing address. Mr. Brisck, after being introduced, advised the colored people to give all of the patronage possible to merchants of their own race. He emphasized faith in one another and the fundamental arguments against the tendency of members of the race to forsake all Negro merchants because one fails to measure up to requirements. Said he: "My wife has at time been unable to patronize some certain white merchants because of unfair dealing, but she doesn't lose faith in white merchants and carry her payment to a Chinaman—she patronizes white men." Declaring his inability to understand the failure of Harlem Negroes to support all race merchants, he cited injuries to show that the reasonable support of any one Negro merchant by members of the race would not only influence the lives of many young men and women but would directly contribute to the import of thousands of people in Harlem. Another meeting will be held at the Baptist Tabernacle on Tuesday, December 12. LABOR MIGRATION'S The influx of Negro labor to various industrial centers of the north and east, which was being handled by customers to that class of labor, has produced some minor problems, to meet which the National League on Urban Conditions has acted promptly, and already that organization has begun an intensive effort for the betterment of conditions. It will be necessary to provide suitable conditions with recreational facilities to prevent dissatisfaction among the workers. A slight current of complaint, as regards the consideration shown concerning comfort, freedom and wages, is being given immediate attention. Being instrumental in bringing many of these men to northern and eastern points, the National Urban League has been offered aided by the assistance as have prized, and in addition is sending its executive secretary, Engene Kleische, Jones, on a personal tour of investigation. The influx will be a corner point of visit. The conditions, the manner of management, being handled with great satisfaction and to the benefit of all, Cleveland and Chicago are also on Mr. Jones' route. The National Urban League has addressed to Negro editors in all parts of the country a letter of general information calling attention to good positions open for efficient and energetic members of the race who are willing to come north for a definite purpose and to give honest service. BERGEN REPUBLICANS (Special to The New York ADR) ENGLWOOD, N. J.-While the national election did not result as desired, the Negroes of New Jersey in general and Bergen County in particular are rejoicing over the triumph of the complete victory of Joseph F. Frelinghuysen, as head of the Board of Education, has shown that he is the race's friend and will go to Washington knowing no race by its color. Governor-elect Edge has paid his tribute to the Negro voters, inviting them to his inauguration and promising them the second place in the race has a number of warm friends among the elected officials, including John R. Lindsay, Congressman-elect, and Win B. Mackay, State Senator-elect. From Englewood will go two of the Assemblymen, W. Irving Glover and Roy M. Robinson—staunch, true and tried—and the third one, Winnie, is also loyal to his supporters. Other officials of the county, Read Holwell and Andrew Gaul, gr., freeholders, give that board a Republican majority, and two Republican councilmen elected make the Common Council again. J. H. Fletcher elected the Republican ticket, Charles M. Hinton and the other Negro Republicans in Bergen County did conan service for the party during the campaign. G. O. P. CONGRESSMEN WIN IN MARYLAND (Speech to THE NEW YORK AGE.) BALITMORE, MD.—As was forecasted in THE AGE, Maryland Republicans have a larger elected代表 in the next congress havingresentation in the next Joseph F. Justice to the United States Senate and F. N. Zihlman and Sydney F. Mudd to the House of Representatives. It is probable that Robert F. Duer, Republi- can, who was returned as defeated for Congress in the First District, will con- test the title of Jesse D. Price, Democrat. Though the State went overwhelmingly for Wilson, Republicans express themselves as being elated over the party's gains from Maryland in Congress human rights shown in these wholesale arrests. Colored people of the city are arrested and restrained, and finds are being raised to press with the law against those responsible for bishay rageous act. The Local Negro Business League is taking an active part in the movement. THE CLEF CLUB TONIGHT Manhattan Casino Tonight, Thursday, Nov. 16th 155th St. & 8th Av. ALLIANCE WITH STRONG BODY Will Be a Branch of the International Brotherhood of House Superintendents and Janitors, Which Body Has Granted a Charter—Death Benefit of $50 to $200 Provided for Members. Every colored man employed as superintendent, junior, freeman, elevatorman, hall boy, hospital or in any other capacity in the apartment and office buildings of Greater New York, is to become a member of the Buildings' Employees Association, affiliated with the International Brotherhood of House Superintendents and Janitors, if plans projected are carried out. The preliminary work of organization has been started and a charter granted to the subordinate body from the parent organization. This work is being done by the president, Chas. Henry, secretary, J. Clarks, and orator, Collis, with the official employment agent of the House Superintendents and Janitors, J. C. Frost, 427 West 124th street. The membership of the parent organization is all white, but there is a clause in the obligation which each member pledges himself "Never to discriminate against a fellow worker on account of color, nationality or religious creed." A splendid response is being had from employees of apartment houses and those in the community. The movement are gratified at the prospects for successful work. The organization will be of great benefit to all classes concerned both employers and em- Men Work 84 Hours a Week. The men employed in these various capacities in apartment houses are now working on an average of 84 hours a week, with no day off. One of the first things to be taken up by the association is the arrangement of working hours, with belts for the men, the mitinping be the first tool to make them to accomplish this. With better working conditions, shorter hours and better wages, the employers will be able to secure a better class of men to accept these positions, and to keep them in good standing. organization will enable the employers also to keep tab on the undesirable element, effectually harring them from the opportunities which this class of emment affords them. Besides regulating wages, it will afford a definite labor advantage in partnership with the superintendents and the employees. The association will provide a death benefit for the member of $50 after the first six months, increasing to $200 after three years. This is provided for by a payment from the parent body of 15 cents per month for each member in good standing. To Provide Sick Benefit. The branch association expects to be able to provide for a sick fund through employment fees to be charged for the securing of jobs for its members. For the purpose of interpreting certain points in the charter and for a clearer understanding of the duties and responsibilities, as well as the benefits and privileges, to accrue to the branch organization from affiliation with the parent body, a conference was held on Monday night of this week at the offices of the National Urban League, 128 Seventh avenue, at which were held the annual officer's affair, agent, and the president and secretary of the white association, and Messrs. Henry, Clark and Collins representing the colored branch. The charter and constitution were gone over carefully and discussed from all standpoints. A very satisfactory understanding was achieved in its reasoning that the Building employees Association will prove one of the most important and useful labor organizations in Greater New York.

Mane- presided. The session was attended numbers of both race. During his address Dr. Moton said: "The Negro must have faith and believe in his own race. It is easy, enough to give reasons' why the Negro in America has hitherto been lacking in race pride. The Negro has been cursed by the Creator should find no lodgment in any of our minds. If we are to live and prosper along side the white race " we must have greater faith in our race, in its possibilities. "A few hundred years ago the white race was not the dominant race and they have had hard time ever struggle. Yet today, with Ock and I, through the same sort of difficulties, the same wilderness, as I were, before we reach our promised land. "We cannot hope to get the respect and confidence or the appreciation of other races if we are as ashamed of ourselves and wish we were anything else but ourselves. I will tell you, in all likelihood, I respect, bigges respect." The following were elected officers: Major Allen Washington, Hampton, president; J. M. Gandy, Petersburg, executive secretary; W. T. B.

Organization Now Numbers 5,000 and Continuing to Grow, With Robert R. Church, Its Founder, as President—Defeated Combination of Republicans, Democrats and Know Nothings. MEMPHIS, Tenn.—The Negroes of Tennessee have justified themselves before the country. They have achieved a goal that is, is moral history of the Republican party in the State, and Robert R. Church and the Lincoln Republican League will hereafter be dominating factors in west Tennessee. This was accomplished at the recent election, when the lily white Republicans were annihilated at the ballot box, and the local option combination of white Democrats and Republicans. Nothings was shared, the most victory in the election was won by the Negroes of Memphis and west Tennessee. But most important, Lincoln League, now 5,000 strong and still growing, has gathered colored men into the most unique and largest political organization among colored people in the country. The Negroes of Memphis, following larger, more deated and more determined than ever lined up behind a colored leader. Continue the Eight Friday night the League met to consider the situation. More men were present—maybe 3,000 of them—but got together the Friday night before election. Beginning here, the capital of the negro race, the battle is on to break the political shackles of the Southern Negro. From Wayman Wilkerson, candidate for Congress, straight down the line, the Lincoln League ticket polled a vote larger than the so-called Republican organization. With no protection at the polling place combinations against them, together with Democrats to browbeat colored men, the candidates went through with an approximate vote of 2,700 as counted by election judges. Thomas H. Hayes, popular business man, on a fair count, would be Flotterial Senator from Shelby and Tipton county. H. Hayes was a very serious smack up to the State House steps. The campaign launched by Mr. Church and his supporters grew in interest. From the middle of August until election eve interest in the contest was without parallel in the South. And the women were—more determined than the men. The Lincoln League is organizing for local contests next year, and for Congressional race in 1918. Candidates will be up for every office, county and Congressional, and since the great vote piled up by the organization establishes the Republican party organization in this section of the State, the party will always be represented on the official ballot. Figures Don't Lie. The following figures tell a story of supreme interest. They are supplied by the Election Board and are for Memphis and Shelby County only: 1. White White and Local Option—For Congress, Payman Wilkerson, 1706, Senate Dye, 1895, Crenshaw, 2354, Vought, Florial Representative, 1706, Representatives, Billingly, 2958, Broomes, 2867, Ellinger, 1942; Gillen, 2027; Morris, 2163, Parr, 1832; Powell, 1871. Lincoln Republican League—For Congress, Payman Wilkerson, 2726, Hays, 1179; Morris, 2756; Sennu, M. Bomar, 2321, B.M. Roddley, 273; G. W. Atkins, Florial Representative, 2327, Representatives, N. Rowley, 2463; A. E. Clonston, 2195; Ned Clowers, 2136; Ed Lewis, 289; J. T. Settler, 2557; J. Willis, 2662, O. W. Willis, 2572. These figures ought to read twice as many, but the election officers didn't wear any religion to the polls that morning, and threw the Ten Commandments out of the window when they got there. Mr. Church announced the morning after election that the fight has but just opened. And behind him are the colored people without a break, of the largest New York City, Wayman Wilkerson, candidate for Congress, ran away with his lily white competitor. According to the daily press he ran ahead of Farley, lily, 4 to 1. PHILADELPHIAN GETS INSPECTORSHIP 108 (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) PHILADELPHIA, PA.-After fifteen years in the Transcriber's office at the City Hall, William L. Games of 621 City Street, has been appointed, by Winston Smith as Inspector of Huehways at $150 per year and use of an automobile. Mr. Games is one of the old citizens of Philadelphia and a member of St. Thomas' Church. GOV. MANNING ORDERS PROBING OF LYNCHING (Special to THE NEW YORK AUGE.) ARRIVALLE, S. C.—Four white men who had been piling colored farmers on their way home from this town. The trouble occurred just inside the city limits and the city police arrested the men. All were released on bail, but one of them, Will Sainn, was later rearrested, charged with the murder of the United States postoffice special delivery loy, a 15-year-old Negro. A dispatch from Columbia states that Governor Manning called into conference Sheriff Burts and Coroner F. W. R. Nance, of this town, with Solicitor R. A. Cooper, of Lauren's County, calling on the coroner for copy of testimony taken by the body of Anthony Crawford, the locally farmer who was lynched in this county. It developed that the coroner held an inquest but took no testimony. The Governor has issued a statement in which he declares that orders were given Solicitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts to secure the names of all parties connected with the lynching, also those meeting allowing when the sons of the lynched man were ordered to leave town. The Governor's statement continues. "I have requested Solicitor Cooper and Sheriff Burts to make a complete investigation of the whole matter and get the names of all parties concerned and to sweep out warrants and arrest them. I inform the law enforcement in my office to uphold the law when the defenders know that such acts will not be tolerated and that those guilty of violating the law must suffer for it. I have requested Solicitor Cooper as the state's representative and Sheriff Burts as the highest peace officer in the county to leave no stone unturned in order to vindicate the law and all the powers of the governor's office are at their disposal in briefing the xylophone. It is reported that a special agent of the New York Evening Post, posing as a prospective buyer, of land, has been in Abbville interviewing citizens of Abville County, and that he will write a story of the lynching for that paper. TENANT FARMERS IN (Special to THE NEW YORK AGE.) BIRMINGHAM, Ala.—Measures are being given for the immediate relief of the tenant farmers of Alabama, nearly all of whom are Negroes, who are suffering great hardships as a result of severe summer storms and the boll vastest the storms. The cotton was washed away by the flood the cotton has been destroyed by the boll woven. Appals have been sent to various northern cities by the principal of the Armstrong Agricultural and Industrial Institute at West Butler, Ala., in which the need of the suffering tenant farmers is a request made for assistance. An extract from this appeal read as follows. "Colored farmers and their families are suffering most. It is impossible for one who has not visited the black belt section since the floods subsided to conceive of the daily sufferings of the people. Many of them can't get bread to eat. Many have died already from disease brought on by eating unwholesome food, some are starving. A few have provided a little work for a limited number, but there are thousands of colored people who will starve if some aid is not rendered. A few hundred dollars, with clothing for the women and children, would do much toward relieving the condition of these people." The white women of Alabama have begun a movement to relieve conditions in the state, led by G. M. G., Mathis, of Galdenb, Mrs Mathis declares that many of the people are actually starving, that much of the labor exodus to the north has been caused by this suffering. Food and clothing are needed, or money to purchase same. Contributions may be sent to Arthur W. Mitchell, principal, amphibious Institute, West Butler, Banks, Blund Bayou, Miss, or to Chas, Banks, Blund Bayou, Miss, designating the purpose. ORGANIZE TO DEVELOP With the object of conducting commercial operations in West Africa along lines insuring a reasonable return on investment, while at the same time creating a defined and lasting benefit to the people and the country, the Manpower Development Corporation and an association corporation, the Manpower Association, Inc. have been organized. The latter will be the holder of the common stock of the corporation, while the 7 per cent cumulative preferred stock will be offered for subscription. The corporation is capitalized at $100-1000,000 and preferred as more or less of an experimental proposition. Its specific plans are to carry on a general development operation in the interior of Sierra Leone, West Africa, specializing in cattle protection for which the country is adapted. Africa will be the site for plantation development work, opportunities for raising and marketing palm oil, rubber, coffee and cocoa being said to be unusually attractive. The Mandung Association, Inc. is to carry on educational, medical, social and relational work in conjunction with the activities of the latter arts. William M. Baldwain R. Bavard Cutter, Edward C.

Simpson and Thorne Thorne, Jr. --- Colored Officers Are Needed and New York Men Ought Respond. Is Deeply Interested in Formation of New York's First Negro Regiment and Is Proud of Its Record. PLACE FOR MEN OF ABILITY Canadian Government has recognized Negroes of Dominion by forming a Battalion—Many are enlisted in various branches of regular service—No color line in British Army. A very interesting letter has been received by Tate Ace from Quartermaster-Sergeant Presly Holiday, the Quartermaster's Corps of the regular army, stationed in Arizona, in which he discusses the failure of New York men to qualify as officers in the new Negro regiment, the 15th Infantry, of the New York National Guard. Wonders why the fifty-odd officers required for the regiment are not being secured more readily. Sergeant Holiday declares that it will be unfortunate for any Negro regiment to be affected by men of indifferent education and lack of standing in the community, and thinks the lawyers, doctors, merchants and other business men of New York, who are accustomed to exercising authority, would, as officers, demand recognition and the confidence of the regular army officers and he able to enforce discipline. Sergeant Holiday's letter is as follows: I have followed with the deepest interest everything The Age has contained about the 15th Infantry since the time of the first assault on New York in the formation, time, and I consider the success for attained a notable achievement for our people. Especially do I think New York, in particular, should be proud of the time since the recruiting began. I will venture to say, however, that there is no Negro in New York more proud of that regiment than I am. But why does the regiment fill up so slowly with officers? I would expect to see ambilious Negroes falling over each other to get commissions in it. After all the agitation is it possible that there are not sufficient number of interested educated Negroes in New York to get commissions for one regiment. This brings to mind how, for a long time, it was said that prejudice kept Negroes off the police force of New York. Now, since it has been learned that Negroes can get on the force, very few seem to care for the position. This regiment should be quickly offered from the most intelligent and most influential Negroes of New York, and there are numbers of havers dissects, and other business men in New York and Brooklyn. From these should come the officers, men whose standing at home will demand for them recognition and the confidence of regular army officers. They should. If possible, be men so accustomed to being deferred to that it will be natural for them to displease. Inability to enforce discipline is common among weaknesses which white officers attribute to Negroes. It think it is almost too much to expect to get Lieut. Col. Chas. Young for the regiment, since regulars, when they get commissions in the militia or volunteers, always expect to be advanced, several grades, and the grade of colonel would hardly pay him for the change; but if you could get him, the regiment for about six months it would proft of great value. It will always be unfortunate for any Negro regiment to send it in the field where it will mingle with regulars, or where it will be exposed to the danger of indifferent education and no standing in their home community. It would seem that the $500 salary would be an indulgence to even your most affluent business and professional man, and it would be shown so much interest in the reason that it is a boyhood acquaintance of mine. (Special to *Twin New York Ang.*) OTTAWA, GAV. Due to the large number of applications received at Ottawa from the public part of Canada the No. 2 Construction Corps overseas service has been authorized with Lieutenant Col. D. H. Southerland of Truro, N. S., officer commanding. The battalion is authorized to recruit over the entire Dominion and although the recruiting has only just started large numbers have already collapsed and it will only be a short while before the battalion is up to strength and ready for overcast. Engineering and construction work is the most important and without large forces engaged in construction, the war would be irretrievably lost by the Allies. The call is urgent for more men for the work. The No. 1 Construction Battalion is already overseas and No. 2 Battalion will leave directly it is up to strength. The men enlisting in the Colored Battalion will be in a position to add glory to their race and add to the over-increasing respect in which they are held throughout the British Empire. The British with their love of fair play have fought for the freedom of the colored people for many years. The law is the same for all races and for this reason in this greatest of all wars in which the great empire has flung down the guantanomies of the behalf of liberty and justice men of every race and creed will be found fighting shouldered to shoulder against the enemy.

Mitchell, principal of the Armstrong Agricultural and Industrial Institute, West Butler, Ala., was the principal speaker at the yceum at Salem M. E. Church, West 133rd street, George W. Allen, president, on Sunday afternoon; October 12, at 4 o'clock. Mr. Mitchell spoke on "The Conservation of the Negro." He thinks the exodus of Negroes to the north will help the race's condition in the south, and urged the race in the north to devise ways and means to help the southern Negroes coming north and save them from the destructive coals of city life. Said Mr Mitchell: "What the Negro needs most is competent leadership—men who will not criticize and who will dare to be true to Negro interests in every respect. Let the grafting politicians, the grafting ministers and grafting leaders in all professions be 'branded as dangerous parasites.'" Mr. Milchell is the founder of the Armstrong Institute, which work was started with less than a score of children and one teacher just a few years ago. It has grown to an attendance of three hundred children, five teachers; three hundred acres of farm land with two well equipped buildings. The main building, a $30,000 brick structure, has just been completed, and a $2,000 steam heating plant installed. More than $12,000 among Alabamaans during 1915 came largely from Negroes.

THURSDAY, NOV. 9, 1916 Republican leaders should welcome the movement to bar three G. O. P. United States Senators, which is to be carried on by the Democrats, according to "an unofficial suggestion made at the White House." The retaliation ought to be sweet. Democrats are charging that Negroes were colonized in Indiana, an old and false accusation used by the Democrats for years. As the Negro issue will not down the Republican leaders can charge that every United States Senator from the South. is. illegally holding office because of fraud. As to Congressmen from the South, all come to Washington representing half a vote. If the Democratic Party is opposed to fraud as it would. have the country believe, let it begin to stand for real honest elections in the South. MR. WILSON'S RE-ELEC TION. Politics has ceased to be a question of the moment and the public is once more deeply engrossed in the high cost of living, the European War, Mexico and other subjects of present-day interest. There are some who refuse to concede the re-election of Woodrow Wilson, awaiting the official count of votes in such close states in California. However, most citizens who wanted, to see a change at Washington have given up hope, and are preparing for the worst-four more years of Woodrow Wilsonism—with the Hoke Smiths, Vardamans and Helfins very much in evidence. The Age last week in its news columns announced the election of Mr. Hughes, which appeared to be a fact at the time we went to press. But subsequent returns from states in the West and Northwest gave Mr. Wilson a small advantage in the count, assuring his election by a narrow margin. The colored people of this country are not pleased over the reelection of Woodrow Wilson to the Presidency. They had hoped to see him and his anti-Negro policies swept out of the White House. They had looked forward to the return of the Republican Party which never seeks "to humilate the Negro by passing "Jim Crow" measures and adopting segregation policies. As the result of the election on November 7, optimism has given way to pessimism, and while it does not speak well for "true democracy," one-tenth of the Nation's population looks upon Mr. Wilson's reelection as a calamity. The Age, mindful of the pledges made by Mr. Woodrow Wilson four years ago relative to giving the Negro justice, pledges which have never been kept, wishes him success throughout his new administration. We hope he will be a President of AJL, the people, not nine-tenths of the people, which he can be by carrying out his humanity propaganda to cover the colored man as well as the white man. Possibly such friends of the race as the New York-World, the Evening Post, and-Rabbi Stephen N. Wise and others who strongly supported Mr. Wilson for re-election may be in a position to counteract some of the anti-Negro policies at Washington at the behest of Southern political demagogues. ILLEGAL DISFRANCHISE MENT. During Woodrow Wilson's moments of elation over being returned to the White House we wonder if he ever stops' to think that his re-election was brought about by the illegal disfranchisement of thousands of citizens? As we went to press, the result of the election hung in the balance, but the Republican leaders believed that Mr. Hughes had been elected. At any rate, we exercised our faith and wrote believing that Mr. Hughes had been elected. We are told that faith will remove mountains, but we are convinced that it will not change the result of an election after the ballots have been case. There are still some hopeful Republicans who feel that the official count will change the figures already announced. There may be some slight changes one way or another, but it takes supreme optimism to hope that they will be sufficient to make Mr. Hughes president. However, since we gave thanks for Wilson's defeat, and woke up to be informed that he was not defeated, we shall not now declare that Mr. Hughes has been defeated, not even if he admits it himself; we are perfectly willing to wait for the official count. Nevertheless, according to the face of things, we shall have to take it for granted that Mr. Wilson carried the election. Just how and why he did it, anybody can tell now; so why shouldn't we have our say? Mr. Wilson's large vote is due partly to mistakes and miscalculations on the part of the Republicans. Early in the campaign, it was a mistake to send the candidate into California before a factional fight between the Old Guard and the Progressive rings of the party in that state had been settled at the primaries. Mr. Hughes was taken in hand by the factional that lost, and this, perhaps, more than anything else was the cause of his losing California. Later in the campaign, it was a miscalculation to send out a party of wealthy women to campaign for the suffragist vote. We are sorry to be compelled to admit it, but it is true up to the present time, the main distinction between men is generally governed by what they know, and the main distinction between women is generally governed by what they wear. Whether a man addressing an audience he seedy or dressed in style makes no difference, so long as he shows that he knows what he is talking about. But the elegantly dressed women who toured the West for Hughes appear to have arrived up little more than envy among their less fortunate sisters. A serious miscalculation, in our opinion, was made by the candidate himself in his effort to show why the "Eight-hour Law" was a bad law. It is a bad law, and the manner in which it was passed is worse than the law, but this was an extremely difficult thing to make clear to the working man. When you say to an audience of working men that the Adamson Law is not really an eight-hour law, but a law to increase wages, they are likely to say "that's exactly what we want, regardless of how the law is entitled." At any rate, we are afraid that Mr. Hughes' discussion of this law, although he was right, had the general effect of making him appear to be opposing labor. We feel also that Mr. Hughes missed a great opportunity to discount President Wilson's "humanity" by not making a strong statement on the civil and political rights of the American Negro over against those of the peons of Mexico. But, all things considered, what really re-elected President Wilson—we are taking it for granted that he is—was "Peace and Prosperity." In spite of his foreign policy, in spite of the Mexican mess, in spite of the nation's loss of prestige, in spite of the unsaluted flag, in spite of the unatoned deaths of American citizens, in spite of the demonstrated congenital unfitness in many ways of Mr. Wilson for the presidency, he was re-elected because there were enough voters who were satisfied with "peace and prosperity" to join with the Solid South in re-electing him. If—this is the open season for "ifs" and "buts"—we say, if there had been no European war to throw into contrast our state of peace and to cause an abnormal prosperity, any man named by the Republicans could have defeated Wilson. Yet we must add, no matter what we have thought and said about President Wilson, that no shrewder politician ever sat in the White House. In a state of excusable exhilaration we stated in last week's issue that we were glad to be through with the necessity of saying things about President Wilson's administration and the Democratic party. To all appearances our joy was a bit premature, and we are obliged to come back and say, "Not yet, not yet." We do not say that because we particularly enjoy the job, but because we have a more than vague suspicion that we won't be able to avoid it. Mr. Wilson has intimated that he has fair intentions toward the colored people and that he has not carried out these intentions on account of forces beyond his control. That is to say, he had certain legislation which he wanted put through and he had to look to his re-election, and he could not achieve these things if he made any attempt to include the Negro in his scheme of humanity. These intimations deserve no faith. For example, Mr. Wilson's fear that a Senate dominated by Vardaman, Hoke Smith, Ben Tillman, et al., would not agree to the confirmation of any colored man for office was no justification of his wholesale dismissal of all the colored men who were in office; in fact, if Mr. Wilson's protestations were sincere, such a fear should have constrained him to keep those men in office. But much less was there any reason for his countenancing the Jim Crow policy that was established in the departments at Washington. When Mr. Wilson begins his second term he will not be handicapped by any of the reasons he has heretofore assigned for his attitude on the Negro. He has put through the major portion of his legislative program, he has not to look forward to re-election, he is the complete master of his party; so if he has fair intentions toward the colored people, he will be absolutely free to carry them out. If Mr. Wilson should do this, nobody would be happier to see it and nobody would be ready to give him more credit for what he may do than The Age. We shall indulge in watchful waiting, but our hopes are very weak. NET YET In a state of excusable exhilaration issue that we were glad to be through things about President Wilson's admin party. To all appearances our joy was obliged to come back and say, "Not yet. We do not say that because we pay because we have a more than vague sus to avoid it. Mr. Wilson has intimated that he he colored people and that he has not care account of forces beyond his control.

We wonder if he believes deep down in his heart that he secured his re-election by fair means and that no cloud rests on the Presidency? Last week when the result of the election was in doubt the cry of fraud was raised by some of Mr. Wilson's campaign managers. But what other method than fraud is used to secure the electoral votes of the South for the Democratic Party? Radical politicians in that section openly confess that they result to foul means to deprive the Negro of his ballot, and this wholesale illegal disfranchisement of colored citizens is a matter of general knowledge. --- REVIEWS IN, CONTRIBUTING EDITOR.

The election resulted in a hair-breadth finish. The Republican and Democratic parties are more evenly matched than they have been in twenty years. So closely are they matched that an intelligently directed Negro vote can be made a power to be considered. What is then the good that may come out of Wilson's re-election? Wilson's re-election, bringing with it all that Wilsonism has meant to the race in the past three years, may be the means of awakening colored men and women, especially in the free states; to the need of organization, of national organization for securing and maintaining our political rights. Such an organization we must have; and, perhaps, Wilson's re-election will hasten it on. This is the thing that must be done, and we have four years in which to do it. In if four years we can only partly perfect such an organization, we shall be in a position at the next presidential election to take a stand we have never yet been able to take.

President Wilson, in a little after-election speech which he made to several thousand admirers who crowded around him at Williamstown, Mass., to congratulate him, made the following statement: "I want to say that now the campaign is over we must think of only one thing, and that is not of parties but of the interest of the great country we all love," the President declared. "Let us forget all our differences and unite for common service. Only in that way can we work for the great Nation that has given us liberty and peace." We are willing to call these sentiments our own, if President, Wilson will only make us feel that he means us too. The Age did all in its power to defeat Woodrow Wilson. It fought and fought with all its strength for what it considered to be the vital interests of the race, and it will continue the fight as long as it is necessary. If President Wilson changes his Negro policy, The Age will give him full credit for the change. It seems that our fight was lost, but the closeness of the election makes it clear that in another national campaign a united fight put up by the Negro voters of the country will not be without effect HONORING WASHINGTON.

The Evening Post, the traditional and unswerving friend of the race, and the New York World, which has often spoken unequivocably for fair play and justice to the Negro, supported President Wilson during the campaign. Both of these papers have strongly opposed the "Jim Crow" and anti-Negro policies of the Administration, and we feel certain that they will continue to do so. We hope that their efforts will bring results. They ought to have some influence for to no two newspapers in the country is President Wilson more deeply indebted.

Dear Mr. Moore: On behalf of the National Committee I want to thank you most cordially for your fine and loyal support of the cause and candidates of the Republican party in this campaign. With best wishes for the future and trusting that you will not abate your loyalty to the party, I am, SOUTH'S ELECTORAL VOTE. Editor NEW YORK AGE: I beg to call to your attention the enclosed article which appeared on the editorial page of the Philadelphia Public Ledger on November 7, in Girard's Girard, as you know, is one of the outstanding journalistic personalities of our age, and any opinions put forth by him are entitled to the most serious consideration. Girard writes in the Public Ledger as follows: Before the first ballot is cast in a box this morning the vote in eleven states is as good as counted. They will go solidly for President Wilson and give him 126 electoral votes—almost half enough to elect him. In those eleven states reside more than 6,000,000 colored persons—a third or more of the total population—and measured by practical results not one of them has a vote. Those 6,000,000 persons are counted for purposes of getting more Congressmen and for making up the Electoral College. They get no further than that. The South has an immense advantage over the North and West in all presidential elections. It counts its great Negro population as a basis for electoral ballots and then disfranchise the element of its people that might vote as the South does not wish it to vote. Take South Carolina. There are 150,000 more Negroes than whites in that state. The Negroes are counted to give South Carolina nine electoral votes, but those Negroes have no power whatever to say for whom the electoral votes for which they are responsible shall be cast. A third of Virginia's population is black and upward of half of Georgia's. The blacks far outnumber the whites in Mississippi and are three-fourths as numerous in Louisiana. But in none of these states is it possible for the Negro's vote really to count in the presidential contest. That arrangement enables the South to go solidly and serenely one way, as it has done for half a century. The result is that a white man's vote in South Carolina or Mississippi counts for more than twice as much today as any man's vote in Pennsylvania or any other northern state... In other words, the South Carolina or Mississippi white man gets double the representation in the Electoral College than a Pennsylvania man gets. Pennsylvania has considerably more than ten times as many white persons as South Carolina. Today South Carolina's white men will elect nine presidential electors. All of Pennsylvania's men, white and black, will elect only thirty-eight. If New York's white population got as big a representation in the Electoral College as Mississippi's white men, they would today designate 110 electoral ballots for President instead of forty-five. That is why I say the South has a great advantage over the North in a presidential contest. Is there any responsibility more serious than the responsibility of calling to the attention of the American people the gross unfairness set forth in a condition which makes it possible for six million people to be counted so as to give certain groups of other people more congressmen and more votes in the Electoral College, without being able to influence, or in any way be "counted" when it comes to the Electoral College of the country in which they live and a part of which they are reckoned as citizens? It seems to me that the TAC Act and every organization among us should keep this glaring unfairness before the American people, before Congress, and before every group of serious men in the United States. This is not an appeal for the elevation of ignorance over intelligence. It is simply an appeal for a fair, square deal in a matter which touches the very vitals of democratic institutions. I hope Tae. Ace will put its great intelligence into cement to counter this gross injustice. LOS ANGELES CAL Los ANGELES, CALIF.-Sunday November 5th Rev. B. C Robeson of Bayonne, N.

Big Profits Made in the Mail Order Business YOU CAN SHARE IN THE BIG PROFITS NOW BEING MADE IN THE MAIL ORDER BUSINESS. READ EVERY WORD OF THIS ANNOUNCEMENT WHETHER YOU HAVE $5 OR $1,000. THIS IS NOT A MERE "PROSPECT" ON WHICH YOU ARE INVITED TO SPECULATE. NOT AN INVESTMENT BASED ON "PAPER" WITH THE HOPES OF DOING SOMETHING IN THE FUTURE. BUT A REAL OPPORTUNITY TO PARTICIPATE IN THE BIG, SURE PROFITS OF AN ALREADY SUCCESSFUL COMPANY NOW INCREASING ITS SALES BY LEAPS AND BOUNDS. BRIEF STATEMENT OF LEADING FACTS This may be opportunity's last chance for you to acquire some shares in a highly profitable business, and we would divise your immediate action if you desire to obtain some stock in the company which has unusual opportunities for large sales and profits. As there is only a limited amount of stock to be sold, we cannot guarantee to fill your order unless we hear from you immediately. Ten shares or more may be bought on a payment of 10 per month. Orders for less than 10 shares must be paid in full. This is not a new untried proposition, not a speculative venture in any sense; it is an invitation to join the officers and directors of the WERNER & BRANDON CORPORATION in their carefully matured plans for developing this already SUCCESSFUL MAIL ORDER BUSINESS in coffees and teas to a point of increasing sales to a million pounds per year. During the past four years WERNER & BRANDON, Inc., have been making sales on a constantly increasing scale and by conservative management have increased the original investment about 300 per cent in the past four years. Without any change of management and by a thorough and efficient sales plan a large clientele have been built up consisting of many thousands of customers throughout many states. Now the same men who brought this business to its present success will continue its money-making policies and propose to build sales up to a million pounds per year. Now in order to put into immediate effect the carefully worked out plans for increasing the sales of this company additional capital is needed. It has therefore been decided to place on the market for the first time a block of stock at its par value, $5 per share, which is fully paid and non-assessable. This Company has no bonded debts or preferred stock. It is a going concern, which is fully equipped with the latest labor saving machinery. Every dollar received from the sale of stock will go into the treasury of the company for the carrying out of the carefully worked out plans of expanding the business. The rate of profit has been about 30 per cent, and it is estimated that with larger sales the percentage of profits would be larger, as increased business means decreased expenses, pro rata. This would mean reasonable interest to those investing their money in this Company. This may be opportunity's last c immediate action if you desire to obtain As there is only a limited amount Ten shares or more may be bought WERNER & BRANDON, Inc., 221 Court St., Brooklyn, N. Y.

C.-Pomp Palmer, a Negro watchsmith, located on Fayetteville street, in this city, receives a goodly portion of patronage from white as well as colored people. His motto is "Good workmanship and prompt delivery." Mr. Palmer deserves our patronage if he maintains his motto. Mr. Palmer worked as porter in the jewelry establishment of the late T. W.

The funeral of Miss Peace took place from the First Baptist Church last Tuesday evening at 3 o'clock, where a large concourse of friends and relatives assembled to pay homage to the remains of a promising young woman. The Rev C. E. Askew conducted the service, assisted by several clergymen of the city. The floral offerings were most beautiful and profuse. Miss M. E. Peace of Cincinnati, Ohio, and Mrs. C. L. Housen of Paterson, N. J., sisters of the deceased, were present at the funeral and returned to their respective home on last Saturday. Prof. C. G.

It is hoped and expected that this meeting will enliven interest in the welfare of those who by reason of old age and past conditions are indigent and poor and without means to care for and shelter themselves in their declining years. There are many such people among us without friends or relatives. From observation, the writer feels called upon to say that if the ministers of the gospel will divide their energies to save souls, into halves, devoting one-half to the teaching of our people to practice that greatest of all virtues—charity to the old, worn-out men and women of our race who have failed to provide for the "rainy day" which will surely come to us all, their efforts will meet greater success than they are having by following the old worn out out of preaching hell and damnation to all who fail to get religion. The writer, through the columns of this paper, sometime ago spoke of the many old men and women of our race who are too old and decrept to earn a livelihood for themselves. Many of them have children living in northern states, who do not make any effort to learn of the condition of their parents who are living in squater and want by reason of sickness or old age. All such the writer would entreat to make an effort to get in touch with their relatives "down south." A letter of inquiry addresses to the chairman of the County Commission with a self-addressed stamped envelope will be answered. The Negroes of these United States were freed from slavery fifty-three years ago. The writer observes with much regret the indifference the younger generation is inclined to show toward the observance of this (to mind) hollowed day. The writer wishes to say to this young generation of Negroes: Keep the date of your father's freedom fresh in your memory, and every recurring anniversary, celebrate with praise and thank- TEN SHARES OF STOCK MAY BE BOUGHT UPON PAYMENT OF $5 DOWN, THE BALANCE AT $5 PER MONTH.

The reason for the constantly increasing of sales is due to the advertisements we are now carrying in the "New York World's Almanac" and in the leading New York papers, such as The New York Times, New York Tribune and others. A large number of new customers are being secured every day and with the already acquired old customers sales are leaping upward and upward. To give you an idea of the unusual opportunity we have for increasing sales, we have within a radius of 500 miles a population of 25 millions; the average per capita consumption of coffee is 10 pounds, which is equal to 250 million pounds per year for this population. This alone should prove to you the extraordinary chance there is for the increase of sales and profits. This Company is incorporated under the Laws of the State of New York for $25,000, with 5,000 shares at $5 each. Officers are—L. E. Werner, President; W. I. Brandon, Vice-President; Fred R. Moore, Secretary and Treasurer. Now in view of the small capitalization of this company with its already marvelous success and with its wonderful opportunities there is for expansion of its business, believe it should prove to be a very desirable and profitable investment for you. ing his farewell sermon next Sunday night, which ends up his year's work here. He leaves here next Monday for Lenoir, N. C., where the annual conference convenes. The writer takes pleasure in saying that he has attended many of the services of this church during the year and was greatly edified with the sermons preached by the Rev. Mr. Gullina His erudition and logical discourses won for him many friends who hope to see him returned for another year. Dr. R. S. Vass of Burlington, N. C., was in the city last Saturday. The Rev. Jas. K. Satterwhite preached to the people of Pittaboro, N. C., last Sunday. The writer learns through a reliable source that several thousand Negro laborers contemplate leaving the south early next spring. It is also predicted that unless the southern white people change their tactics in handling the Negroes, in the southern states, they will soon face a labor famine which we all know means ruin to southern farms and industries. Already the housewives are facing a threatened famine of cooks and nurses, who refuse to work for the same wages paid twenty-five years ago.

Once more the ever popular basketball season is on the-eye of opening in New York City, and from all reports the 1916-17 season is expected to be a strenuous one. Thanksgiving Day will see the first ball thrown when the "incorporators" (world champions) face St. Douglas (New Jersey's big team) at Manhattan Casino. All the big league teams, namely, Howard, Hampton, Lincoln, Incorporators, Alpha, St. Christopher and Monticello-Delaneyes are working hard and each organization promises putting a mighty strong team in the field. The Sparton Field Club will also have a stronger team this year and will again enter competition against the big league teams. We certainly have to admire the perservance of this club. There will be more new teams introduced to the New York public this season which as always shows an advancement of the game. --- On November 10, the Carlttons of Brooklyn, will clash with the St. Augustines in what ought to be a pretty good game. The Carlttons though are about the best product at their weight in this part of the country. They have reached this degree of efficiency under the able management of Quentin Vaughan and coaching of F. J. Acooe. We are waiting to hear what Smart Set intends to do this season in basketball. ```markdown ``` Hampton has had three straight victories over St. Christopher. We wonder if he can repeat this season. Tom Wachenfeld, Jr., the famous and popular referee from New Jersey, has been accepted by the A. A. U. Association. This puts the stamp of approval on Mr. Wachenfeld and authorizes him to officiate anywhere in the United States. We certainly congratulate him as he is and has always been one of the fairest referees in the business and has officiated at games with Howard. Lincoln, "Incorporators," Alpha, St. Christopher, Snarton and all the teams in the State of New Jersey. Always read THE Age for "up to the minute" basketball news. Open Basketball Season in Yonkers. The Tiger basketball team of Yonkers opened its season by winning both ends of a double bill from the Orientals of New Rochelle. In the first game the Tiger Lightweights had quite a time in disposing of the Orientals, but in the closing part of the game the attack of Gregory and Wynnster was too strong for the New-Rochelle boys who slowed up considerably. Gulliver and Allen played a keen steady game throughout, Allen, in his come-back stunt, showed up very well. Ryerson, upon whom the Tygors had depended to do most of their scoring, was not in form at all, which was a great surprise to the rooters. In the main event the Tyger big five, with their new uniforms and sweaters, exhibited a fine brand of passing and shooting. Giddings and Morgan were in fine condition and shot at will, baffling the Orientals guards throughout the entire game. Giddings, who is considered the "Copper" of the Tygers was extremely lucky in his one hand shooting. Jackson, the Tygers' center, who refuses to be counted out by Father Time, played a fast game for his team. Hamilton and Bowser, who had it in their minds to play with a certain team in New Jersey, were back at their old positions as guards. They not only covered their men closely, but added a few points on the credit side of their team ledger. The games were witnessed by about 200 spectators from all sections of New York. Special music was furnished by the Tyger orchestra, Gregory and Thompson. The Tyger management wishes to announce to the public that there will be games and dancing every Saturday evening at the Yonkers High School Gym. Trolleys run all night to the subway. Come and have an enjoyable evening. For games write to Wm. Rux, 15 Wood place, Yonkers, N. Y. Next week's game, Stamford va Tyger. PUGILISM Harlem Sporting Club, 135th street and Madison avenue—Last Friday night, owing to an injury to Joe Berman, Kid Rash, the sensational paperweight of Harlem, took his place with Franklin Williams, and though outweighed about nine pounds, made a creditable showing. Williams floored Rash in the first round. But after this round Rash used his cleverness to evade Williams' awful swings, and by a whirlwind finish on the part of Rash the bout was a draw. Sandy Taylor, who is showing rare form these days, again showed that he is the master of Kid Locke of Freeport, J. J., and proceeded to polish him off in fine style with hard rights and lefts to the body and head, and at the end of the fourth round Locke was very much hattered up. Weights—Taylor, '137; Locke, 142. Toledo, Ohio, Nov. 9.—Toledo A.'s. C. holds its regular show at the Zenobia Hall. Matthayer Jac Fox (Champion) Erie refused $1,500 to fight him at the baintain weight limit, and who is open to meet anyone in the world at 116 pounds) had a fine card arranged for the fight fans. Christy Williams defended Kid Ache in the star bout of the evening. Williams, having the advantage of several pounds, used it to good effect. But in Kid Ache he found a villain opponent and a caranger of the first water. He kept Williams on the jump all the time, but the latter's reach seemed to bewilder Ashe, as he could not reach Williams with any jolts or swings, and although willing, was outclassed. At the end of this bout Williams was awarded a belt offered by Joe Fox for the champion colored middle-weight of the world. Semi-final. — Young Harrington of Georgia outpointed Kid Jones of Detroit. This bout was eight rounds, but the Georgia boy had the best of every round and had little trouble in securing the decision over his smaller opponent. The four-round bout—Kid Rhodes, the newly appointed matchmaker of the club, secured the only knock-out when he put Kid Wright to sleep in the second round. Wright was no match for Rhodes, who just waded in with both hands and had Wright on the defensive while the bout lasted. Clermont A. C.—Last Thursday night Babe Johnson knocked out, his namesake, Kid Johnson, in the fourth round of a bout which was supposed to go six rounds. But Babe caught the Kid with a vicious right-hand swing to jaw and that ended the bout. Weights—Babe Johnson, 138; Kid Johnson, 137. K. O. Lou Williams, the coming weltweight champion of the world, left Tuesday for Providence, Pawtucket, Mariettsville, Bridgeport, New Haven and several other down east towns. His manager has several bouts arranged for him. Williams is in great shape and fully recovered from being bitted by Walter Mohr in the last bout they fought at the Vanderbilt A. C., Brooklyn. --- Clermont A. C., Brooklyn—Last Saturday Harry Wills, the foremost colored heavyweight before the public now, and a man Jess Willard, the present title holder, refused to meet, was the main attraction when he met the local heavyweight, Bill Tate. But the latter was no match for Wills and the New Orleans wonder had little trouble in defeating him. Wills, who is very clever, and as fast on his feet as a lightweight, easily evaded all of Tate's leads and countered with vicious rights to the jaw and body. --- Vanderhilt A. C.—Last Friday night Soldier Kelsey, who was to have met Nero Chink in the star bout of the evening, failed to appear, and no substitute being present, Amy Mack called off the match. But to give his patrons a good card, he put on several six-round bouts. The best bout of the evening only lasted two rounds. George Basden stopped Johnnie Hall and George Layden won from Micky Layden. Military A. C., Brooklyn.—Last Monday night before a large crowd Darkey Griffin, the veteran of the ring and the cleverest colored boy now fighting, met Bushey Graham of Brooklyn and conceded several pounds to his white opponent. But as usual, although the weight was a handicap to the colored boy, his cleverness and ring generalship offset it and he had little trouble, in outpointing his heavier opponent. At the end of the tenth round, had a decision been given, Griffin would have received it. Weights—Griffin, 119; Graham, 128. POLLARD STARS AT YALE Fred Pollard, the colored half back of the Brown eleven, was the star of the football game at Yale Saturday, when Brown won a decisive victory over Yale. So sensational was Pollard's work that the 25,000 spectators applauded him time and time again. His ability to make long runs, and throw off tackler after tackler was spectacular in the event. The Evening Sun pays Pollard the following compliment: "The color line may be waived with propriety by those who soon will busy themselves with the task of choosing an all Eastern football team. Any beckfield in the country could use to advantage Fred Pollard, the dusky halfback of the Brown eleven. His individual work made Saturday's game highly spectacular, and the greatest crowd in the history of the Yale-Brown series left the Bowl with the conviction that they had seen one of the greatest players of the year. Pollard's superior as a broken field runner has not flashed on the gridiron in recent years, unless it was Jim Thorpe, whose success was helped along by size and strength, which Pollard does not possess. Thorpe could throw off tacklers who apparently had secure holds. Pollard, making up in agility what he lacked in physique, simply dodged his way through. "Pollard's running with the ball, surely as spectacular as a New Haven crowd has looked upon in years, was only one feature of his brilliance. Three times he recovered fumbles by his own team as Yale players threw themselves at the ball, and once he prevented a touchdown by recovering the ball after a kick by Hillhouse had been blocked behind the Brown goal line. He ran it out twelve yards before he was downed, deriving the Elis of as much as a safety. On the secondary defence Pollard was as strong as he was in advancing the ball. Once he stood alone between a Yale runner and the Brown goal line, but he got the verdict in the battle of dodging. Thus on two occasions he kept alien feet from crossing the Brown goal line for touchdowns and the record of the Providence celliens remains intact. The only scoring done this year against the Providence team has been by the field goal route, once by Hazel of Rutgers and twice by Braden of Yale." Merchouse Defeats Tucker Morchouse Defeats Tuskegee. Atlanta, Ga. — Murchouse defeated the heavy Tuskegee aggravation by a score of 23-0. It was a hard fought battle from the kiel of to the whistle. Most of the game was played in a hindling rain which was of considerable disadvantage to both teams. Tuskegee became dangerous in the third quarter when she carried the ball to the Tigers' one yard line, and was left to for four downs. The Tuskegee team outweighed the Tigers, but the Tigers were wilt. There was little of the sensational through the game. The day and the field forbade such. The fight on the one yard line may be remarked as the feature of the game. Richardson's recovery of a fumble, and a despatched dash of 45 yards for a touchdown was of the most spectacular plays. It was the burning point of the game. Up to this time Tuskegee by line plunges, was fast pushing the Tigers back into their territory. Figures show the following facts: Tuskegee registered 13 first downs, Morehouse, 10; Morehouse had 40 downs, Tuskegee 67; M. C. attempted 14 line plunges, T. I. 27; M. C. made five successful forward passes T. I. 10; M. C. made two fumbles, T. I. nine; M. C. was penalized 8 times, T. I. 6. The Tigers tried straight football for the entire game, save for a forward pass now and then. Thus far the Tiger's goal is still uncrooked. In the four games that have been played, 128 points have been registered against their opponents. Touchdowns: Richardson, Warren, Jones; goals, Lewis 3; safety 1. Referee, Shaw (Howard); Umpire, Sims (Oberlin); Houdlineman, Bell (Talladega). Morehouse plays Fisk on Thanksgiving day at Nashville. LAFAYETTE THEATRE "THE CITY" CAST OF CHARACTERS George D.

Arthur Wilkes Poole, the Butler, in New York. Haylee L. Pryor Polioman. Will James Beginning Monday afternoon, November 13, the Quality Amusement Company presented the Lafayette-Stock Players in "The City," a play full of intense situations, written by Clyde Fitch, portraying the history of a family from a small country town who, through social and political ambition, came to New York to live. A summary of the play was given in last week's Ace. The cast for the play was hardly as strong as could have been made up from the list of players on the Lafayette roll, but those selected gave of their best. A newcomer in the company was James H. Gray, who appeared in the first act as George D. Rand, Sr. Gray was for nine years a member of the Washburn company presenting "Uncle Tom's Cabin," in which he portrayed the title role. He gave a very good characterization of the elderly banker, especially in the scene where, confronted by his illegitimate son, he acknowledged to his legitimate son and partner, George D. Rand, Jr., the hold which the blackleg Hammock had upon him. He retains some of the in mannerisms and gestures characteristic of the old-time performer, and it will probably be a difficult matter for him to overcome the habit of using them, but his introduction to Harlem audiences, on the whole, was satisfactory. Andrew Bishop was good, and in some of the scenes gave evidence of newly developed power; he has not yet attained his full development, but is coming. Anita Bush and Inez Clough divided honors as the two sisters, and Mary (or is it Marie?) Young fitted well into the cast as the mother. Carlotta Freeman and Ruth Carr, the other ladies in the cast, Luke Scott, Lawrence Chenault (who has a bad habit of forgetting his lines), Will A. Cook and Hayes L. Prior were all acceptable. The Lafayette Ladies' Orchestra is presenting some well-selected programs, classical and popular selections being judiciously intermingled. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS The second week at the Colonial Theatre, Baltimore, operated by the Quality Amusement Corporation of New York, was featured by Frank Montgomery and company of thirty in "On Their Way to Boston." --- Clarence Cameron White, violinist, of Boston, gave successful recitals in Omaha, Neb., on October 30, and in St. Louis, Mo., on November 15.

Helen, Hagan, pianist, of Boston, appears in recital on November 23, at Steinert Hall, Boston. Roland Hayes, tenor, appears Friday evening, November 17, at Jordan Hall, New England Conservatory, Boston. Carl Diton, pianist, who recently became a benedict, is a Biddle University, Charlotte, N. C., tonight, November 16, in a Musical Evening, assisted by local talent. Sherman H. Dudley, with Dave Marion's "World of Frolic," was a guest in Utica, N. Y., at the Imperial Hotel Annex. Allie Gilliam, of the team of Harper & Gillam, has had a nervous breakdown and is being treated at a Long Island sanitarium. Albert C. Knorl and Nathaniel Guy, both connected with the District of Columbia schools, have severed their connection with the Lafayette Theatre stock players. They were unable to secure leaves of absence from school duties. Will Mastin's Co., seathiring Chic Owens in "Holiday in Dixie," West & West, Johnson & Bailley, Drawee, assisted by Hamh and his Collec Frisco The Musical Bells, and Hodges & Launchmere are at the New Standard Theatre, Philadelphia. The Six Musical Millers are playing the first half of this week at the Milda Theatre and the second half at the Virginia Theatre, both Chicago houses. They are on the Western time, this being the Millers' fourth week. Rohert Rickett, formerly leader of the orchestra at the New Standard Theatre, and Slarence Edward Wells have assumed the management of the National Theatre, 10th and Callowhill streets, and will open it on November 27, with a vaudeville and picture program. The house has been remodeled. This will furnish a new amusement centre for colored people north of Market street. --- Carl Diton, pianist, appeared in joint recital with Metropolitan A. M. E. Church choir, C. H. Wesley, director, and Dunbar High School Chorus, Miss Mary L. Europe, director, on Friday, November 10, in Washington, D. C. A large audience enjoyed the program. SANG'IN LION'S CAFE Charles H. Turpin, manager of the Booker Washington Theatre, St. Louis, put on a thriller last week when Manie Payne of the sister team of Payne & Brown, sang "Mother" three times nightly in a cafe with three large lions. The lions were real. NEW THEATRE IN PHILADELPHIA A theatre for colored people is to be built at once at the southwest corner of Broad and Lombard streets, Philadelphia, on the site of the Old United Presbyterian Church. The property, was sold by Frderick Kayser through R. T. Shaw, to the Quality Amusement Company, of New York, represented by E. C. Brown, for $100.000. The lot has frontages of 78 feet on Broad street and 92 feet on Lombard street. @JECTING TO MESRO DIALBCT ( From Literary Digest ) High school music teachers of New York are reported to have expressed their disapproval of the "Negro dialect in songs published in public school textbooks." Dr. Frank Rix is credited with saying the children should be taught a "pure English, not a dialect." But to this comes a vigorous protest from the South, where the Atlanta Constitution declares that if you "expurgate from our American song books our good old Southern melodies, you rob them of their best, real, warm-blooded sentimentality." The Asheville Times also enters its voice of disapproval, saying that "such a change would be a loss to the literature of music in the world, and especially in the South." The director of music in the Asheville schools points out that "there are thousands of folksongs and dialect songs that will have to be thrown away if they are pruned of the words that have helped to preserve their melodies throughout the centuries." The Constitution knows good English when it sees it, and also a good folk-song. It declares: "True, our Southern melodies may not be grammatically perfect as to English"—but they know "no North, no South, no East, no West" in their popularity. They are sung by the girls and boys in the schoolhouses out in Oregon; sung round the camp-fire out in the heart of the Rockies; by the timber folk of New England; by prima donnas in the metropolis—and everywhere enjoyed with the same true, downright American spirit. "Go to Sleep, My Little Pickaninny has lulled as many little-babes of the Great Lakes States into the Land of Nod, comparatively, as in the Cotton Belt. It is known and sung and loved everywhere on the continent. Some consider 'Yankee Doodle'—because of the wording of it—sectional: 'Dixie' is universal. Yet those precise: New York teacher-folk propose in 'Dixie' to 'change the words "de" and "nebber" to "the" and "never"!" "Good English? Who ever claimed those good old Southern songs—or any of the old favorites, for that matter—are, pure English? Of course they're not. They wouldn't be characteristic; they wouldn't be half so sweet, half so popular, if they were. "Neither is 'Annie Laurie' good English; nor 'Bonnie Doon' nor 'Hilan' Mary.' Yet we like them, not for their rhetoric but for their sentiment, their melody, and themselves. "Let the school children of the land vote on what selections should remain uninterfered with in their song books, and it is safe to say that the 'Negro dialect' songs would be among the very last to go. "At the Fulton County High School commencement exercises in Taft Hall last June the sweetest and most liberally applauded number on the whole program was Frank Stanton's 'Mighty Lak a Rose,' sung by one of the young girl graduates. The audience, seven-eighths of it school children, compelled her to 'sing it over again.' "No, the youngsters get enough grammar, English, correct composition drill during class periods. Let them get 'back to earth' betimes and indulge in a hit of real sentiment, real Americanism, when it comes time to sing. "And, don't censor the plantation melodies from the song books, for when you do you spoil them." RAYONNE. N. I Bavonne, N.
