VOL. XXX No. 22 MANY WANT TO COME NORTH Colored People from All Sections of the South Write for Information. The Age Besteged with Numerous Queries from Dissatisfied Negroes Who Want to Secure Employment in the North. In almost every mail The Age receives letters from the South in which the writers make known their intentions of coming North in search of employment. Both women and men write for additional information about industrial opportunities offered in the northern states. In several instances the writers are professional men, who, dissatisfied with southern conditions, have made up their minds to live in another section of the United States. Following, are excerpts from a few communications, which are indicative of the state of mind of thousands in the South to-day: From North Carolina. From North Carolina. "Since my living back here, in the South I have grown a farm. I we farming a share crop with a white man and had a pretty good harvest, so he would not settle with me and I had to bring a law suit to try and redeem my part of the crop. The case is on the calendar for the March Court." From Florida. "When spring opens we want to come North. We see through the columns of the AGE very encouraging words for those who want work. We are enthused over this intelligence. Have been reading in THE AGE about employment offered at Hollyoke, Mass., and in the tobacco industry. How can we know how we can ket our tickets to come North, so we will be ready when the time arrives for our departure." From South Carolina I am a reader of The Ack and all of the members of my family have been readers for years. I write to find out about the positions open to men in the factories or any other places in the North, as I want to get a job. We young man, a carpenter. We need anything for our work. I want to better my condition and make myself a mat." From North Carolina. "Having read in your valuable paper facts concerning the opportunities offered colored laborers in the North, I am writing to make inquiry concerning the outlook for professional men. I have been engaged in the practice of law in North Carolina for a number of years, but owing to prejudice in the South and also the scarcity of money, I contemplate changing my field of practice. Before resuming the practice of law in the North I am destrous of getting a salaried position until) such time as am prepared to meet the financial conditions in the legal profession. Please give me the names of parties or firms with whom I can et communication with respect to a position." From Alabama. "Please see to it that the Rev. Mr. Brown of Rochester, N. Y., ets this letter. I saw an article in THE AGE that he is securing positions for colored girls. His full address was not given. I am a fatherless girl. Have no mother and a sister and would be so glad to get out there lilg have no money to get a ticket. I will agree to pay back money for tickets any way it can be arranged. My mother is a good laudress and my sister can nurse. From Alabama. "Will you please try to get me work in your city or anywhere in the North as a ladies' maid, chambermaid or even as a nurse for children or for an invalid I have a little girl about ten years old. I would like to bring her along if convenient. I would like for the party to send a ticket for each of which can be deducted from my salaries. I will work for me, Mr Moore. I will certainly be highly appreciated. While I have my preference and am qualified to do office work I am willing to take what you can find for the time being."

BACHELOR-BENEDICTS GIVE ANNUAL ASSEMBLY This Season's Dance Easily Eclipses All Others in Brilliance and Attendance. GOWNS OF LADIES A FEATURE Latest Creations from the Modiste Presents a Pretty Picture—Merry-Making Reaches Its Height After Supper Had Been Served. From a standpoint of brilliancy and attendance, this year's assembly, given by the Bachelor-Benedicts Monday evening at Central Casino, ellipsed all previous annual dances given by this popular social organization. The female contingent looked sweeter (if such a thing were possible), the dance music was of the enlivening sort that would make one with it temporarily forget his affliction, and the good time spirit pervaded every nook and corner of Edward Wardhall's artistically arranged private dance hall. As has always been the rule at Bachelor-Benedicts' assemblies, the outstanding feature was dress. The members of the gentler sex looked the part individually and collectively. The latest creations in gowns were beautiful to behold and worn with stylish grace. The ballroom at the Ritz-Carlton or the Biltmore could have presented them. The man was usual, formed the background with their sombre evening clothes. The revelry was at its height after supper, when unique favors, lending a Chinese atmosphere, were distributed. The dancers, distilled in mold by the dancers and the strains of Prof. Douge's Orchestra, all made merry to their hearts' content. Among those in attendance were quite a number of out-of-town visitors. MONARCH LODGE GIVES ITS ANNUAL DANCE Nearly two thousand persons attended the annual hall of the Monarch Lodge of Elks at Palace Casino last Thursday evening. Among the boxholders were: D. McDaniels, C. Holstein, Racing King, Jockie Martin, Calvin Royall, Garry Martin, Jesse Thornson, Emily Thornson, Emily Thornson, Buck Terry, Joe Robinson, Bob Huthney, Charles Thorpe, Mr. and Mrs H. S. Cornell, Miss Finnia Washington, Miss Teeny Gardiner, Miss Finnia Johnson, Thomas J. Diggs, Joe Robinson, Estelle Young, Dave Parker, E. R of Manhattan; Joe Albright, Lewis Williams, "Tip" Harris, Jockey Slocum, J. Reese Dipree, Edmund Johnson, William Banks, Sam Hooks, George Battier, David E. To MOVEMENT TO IMPROVE 131ST STREET BLOCK Association Formed to Eliminate Objectionable Characters From that District. Endeavor to Secure Prompt Removal of Aashes and Garbage and to Have Streets Finished More Frequently—Civic Improvement League Holds Annual Meeting—To Popularize Milk Stations. Harlem residents are determined to leave no stone unturned in their effort to secure for themselves better living conditions. The first movement in this direction is the organization of the 131st Street Block Association, its membership comprising residents of the block between Lenox and Seventh avenues. For Association was organized on January 29, 1981, by Oliver, 158 West 131st street, and already it has a membership of more than twenty. Mrs. Oliver, who was elected as its first president, said, in speaking of the work of the association, that its first effort was to toward ridding the block of objectionable tenants, if it alleged, are in the block, and strong pressure will be brought to force them to move. Mrs. Oliver has charge of the Annette Apartments, corner 131st street and Seventh avenue, and she has succeeded, she declares, in preventing objectionable tenants from securing apartment living. She relates that one party, recommended very highly by one of the leading physicians of the city, succeeded in renting an apartment, but that within twenty-four hours the true character of this tenant was discovered and the tenant compelled to vacate. It has been a task to maintain the standard desired, many prospective tenants, when turned down, becoming abusive and insulting. Another improvement to be sought for by the association will be the securing of promoter service from the sanitary division. At present it is not unusual for garbage and ashes to remain unremoved during the entire day. Many says, Mrs. Oliver, this unpleasant and unpleasant effect, before the evening, after being set out early in the morning. "The bashing of the streets with greater frequency will be striven for also. Meetings of the association are held each Monday evening at the home of the president, and it is proposed to hold, as soon as the weather will permit, a Block Party, which will serve as a meeting where getting acquainted of the people who live on this block will be willing to work for improved conditions. In addition to Mrs. Oliver, the president, the other officers are Mrs. Samuel Bright, vice-president; Mrs. Doris Heard, treasurer; Mrs. M. Chambers, secretary; Mr. Porter, chaplain. Other members are Mrs. Lena Jones, Mrs. Mildred Jones, Mrs. Marie Henson, Mrs. Cora Mayhew, Mrs. Fred Hearn, treasurer, Mrs. M. Taylor, Dr. and Mrs. J. R. Hilley, Dr. and Mrs. B. T. Wuthers, Mrs. Grace Lee Brooks, Mrs. Bertha Frazier, Mr. and Mrs. Grant. The Civic Improvement League Another organization which is making itself an important factor in improving conditions for the race in Harlem is the Negro Civic Improvement League, which held its annual meeting on February 5 at 2303 Seventh avenue. In addition to electing officers, one of the most important matters considered at this meeting was the work of the milk stations established in Harlem by the Department of Health, through the efforts of this association. The report on this feature of the league's activities this meeting was led by the Dr. Nilfried Graves and Dr. Benj F. Wethers, who are members of the milk stations' committee. Interviews with the heads of the various Harlem milk stations show that Negro mothers are not taking full advantage of the facilities of the municipal milk stations. Especially was this true of the Fifth avenue station, which is located in a thickly congested Negro neighborhood. The league is formulating plans for the advantages of the milk stations may be taken from the extent that the present heavy infant mortality may be appreciably lowered. Other matters, which are to be taken up by the league are the securing of a public bath house for Harlem and the fitting out of a playground for the children of the district. Wm McNichol who has been actively identified with the movement for lower rents, especially in the 143rd street section, was named as the neighborhood organizer for the elec- tives as follows: Eiench W. N. Newman; Daniel P. Agard, secretary; Egar N Parks, assistant secretary; Paul G. Prayer, treasurer; John T. Clak, statistician. MRS. J. C. THOMAS ILL Mrs. James C. Thomas, well known in church and social service work, is seriously but not dangerously ill, home, 89 W 134th street, having become the victim of a paralytic strike Sunday evening after a very busy day.

AMERICANS DOMINATING THE SAN DOMINGANS THE SAN DOMINGANS Recent news from San Domingo state that the American military government had suppressed the minister also, with the help of a foreign allegation, with the charge d'affaires in Hawaii. The former official, Minister, Patróna, having protested against the occupation of his country by the United States, was declared non gran by the United States, and the former Mr. Morillo, the charge in Cabo was survived of his post for the same year. Attachments of marines disembarked at San Pedro de Macoris and were greeted with a volley of bullets, resulting in the wounding of Captain Henley, and the bloody death of Second Lieutenant Bolton.

Celebrate Douglass Centenary Memory Honored at Rochester Son Tells of Father's Career The one hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass was celebrated throughout the country last week; colored and white citizens paying tribute to his memory. Gov. Charles S. Whitman and the Hon. Charles W. Anderson were the chief speakers at the celebration held last Thursday in Rochester, N. Y. Charles R. Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass, spoke on "Some Incidents of the Home Life of Frederick Douglass" at the Lincoln Memorial Church, Washington, D. C., Tuesday, February 13. (Special to The New York Age.) ROCHESTER, N. Y.—It was in Rochester where Frederick Douglass made his home during many of the eventful years of his career. A monument stands at St. Paul street and Central avenue, erected in his honor by friends. The citizens of Rochester, irrespective of color, therefore, regarded it fitting to celebrate the one-hundredth anniversary of Douglass's last Thursday, which began in the afternoon at Convention Hall and closed in the evening at the Masonic Temple, where a dinner was held. Mayor Hiram H. Edgerton presided at the Convention Hall meeting. The principal speakers were Gov. Charles S. Whitman and the Hon. Charles W. Anderson of New York City. John W. Thompson was chairman of the Memorial Committee. The Rev. James S. Mason and the Hon. Charles S. Calibur, C., and the Hon. Charles W. Anderson of onboard voices under the leadership of Mrs. John G. Lee, took part. In speaking of the life of Frederick Douglass, Gov. Whitman said, in part: "The men and women who came to these shoes fleeing from the harsh tynnies of the Old World existence, were impelled by their revolt at physical oppression, by their rebellion against their oppression." What was in their hearts was in this New World, where the order under which cooperation should be free, and every human being possessed of the right to climb as high as his natural ability; permitted an order under which every soul should have room to stand erect in sight of God and of the stars. From them as old as the earth, for since the dawn of time men have thrilled to the magic of liberty, equality and fraternity, and every age has seen its struggle against evil power, has heard the cry of martyrs and the battle shout of heroes. "But those who settled America made the dream come true, and even as the shot at Concord rang around the world, so the people of New York have carried its message of hope into every corner of the globe, flashing its light into sad faces and heartening the whole of humanity. "It may not be denied that that immortal document has not been given the full expression that its dreamers planned. Inequalities have gained ground and power, injustice too often goes unreluked, privileges are advanced at the expense of malaneficent rights and in a land of incredible reethness, there is hunger and poverty and distress we hope, it is because the general people have that have crept into democracy and because the people of the United States are fighting in the same dauntless spirit as their fathers, to rid the national life of every ill and to make democracy a word of full and tremendous meaning. "As if to encourage us in this struggle, even in the almost at intervals, the meaning of America is made clear by some splendid human expression by some physical demonstration of the freedom of aspiration that sets a democratic government apart from aristocracies. Poor boy after poor boy has arisen from poverty and obscurity to the highest office in the people of Abraham Lincoln, if it did stand alone, would justify the experiment that this country began one hundred and forty years ago. "Of all such lives, however, there is none that has for me greater significance, that carries in its fight against olders clear message to America and Americans than does that of the men whose honor rests in their place a modest monument is raised that conning generations may ask and learn his story. "It is a matter of deep regret that so little has been written about the career of Frederick Douglass, for I know of none that could be, used with larger profit in libraries, or even in schools where we train the children who are to help nobler life." It is not that he rose so high, but that he started so frightfully low. From birth to maturity, he was in truth, a creature of the abyss. "Suffering and failure are the tests of character. Under them the weak man breaks and the strong man grows in iron determination. It was not in the power of hunger or cruelty or drudgery to crush Frederick Douglass, for he had made a vow to his own soul that he would "At all times, it may be said, Douglass was an agitator rather than a builder like Booker T.

I say this in no spirit of detraction; for the agitator plays a necessary and im- mer Geer the relatives Roland Johns ing party of the of Mrs. Hern FREDERICK DOUGLASS important part in God's scheme of things. Agitators are sometimes the fiery torches that set fire to public indignation. "As much as Garnison and Phillips, even Donglass helped to lift the curse of slavery from the United States, for when he spoke people remembered the dream of the Pilgrim fathers, and vowed themselves anew to democracy. The fair and impartial historians of the future will not fail to set him down as one of the great forces during a vital period of American reconstruction. "During the progress of the war he was no less an important figure His name, practical advice was a source of strength to Lincoln, for while his immediate concern was with his own people, he was ever an ardent believer in union, and indomitable enthusiasm with reference to the possibilities of democracy. "President Grant recognized his real ability as well as his tremendous services, and conferred upon him the first important office ever held by a Negro. He enjoyed the confidence and esteem of President Lincoln and destigar President Arthur continued him in their warm regard, honoring him even as Lincoln admired and trusted him. "Now we, of another generation, are gathered to pay him tribute in the city where he sleeps his last sleep.

"And so it is that the life of Frederick Douglass is one that may be studied with profit by others than people of his own race, for it teaches the humiliation and struggle of sheer industry, of courage against overwhelming odds." Charles W. Anderson on Douglass. Mr. Anderson's address, in part, follows: "As Athens honored Aesop even so did Rochelle honor Friedrich Douglass.

C.—The celebration of the one-hundredth anniversary of the birth of Frederick Douglass was held Tuesday, January.13, at Lincoln Memorial Church, under the auspices of the Afro-American History-telling Association. An interesting address was delivered by Charles R. Douglass, son of Frederick Douglass, who spoke of "Some Incidents of the Home Life of Frederick Douglass." He said, in part, "The first home of my father as a George, the relatives of the Roland Johns, being party of the marriage of Mrs. Herr freeman was at New Bedford, Mass., in 1839. His first employment was as a stevedore in unloading ships of whale oil, brought to that port from long whaling voyages, and was paid nine shillings, such labor, and I have often related how, after a hard day's labor, he would come home, cat his supper and go to the preacher's home in answer to a summons and saw a half cord of wood before bedtime without remuneration. "The next home of my father was in IA, Mass, and was a small frame home home home home hunt and became his first property. It was in this home, October 31, 1844, that I was born. One year after my birth, 1845, my father made his first trip to England in the interest of the anti-slavery cause, and during his absence my mother took up shoe-binding as a partial means of support for the family, which consisted of a set of two brothers Lewis, Frederick and myself. Edita the North Star. "After remaining abroad for about two years, lecturing in England, Ireland, Scotland and Wales on slavery and its evils, and in assisting in the organization of several anti-slavery societies he returned to his home in Lynn, fully determined to establish a paper off his own through which to continue the agitation of abolition sentiment throughout the North. So in 1847 he removed with the Manchester, M. X., where he at once set about the publication of the North Star. "There was no break in the Douglass' homeschool until 1859, as the winter of that year brought to our home to be as associated John Brown of Harpers Ferry, fame, who was being junted on account of his operations in Kansas, and Missouri in behalf of the enslaved, and a reward of $2,000 was placed on his head, dead or alive. Governor Wise of Virgina obtained possession of the person in my father that he might be indicted and tried with John Brown as an accessory. He obtained from President Buchanan the appointment of two men as agents of the Postoffice Department, to be used in running Douglass down, but my father's friends and neighbors in Rochester kept him advised of what was going on. The United States Marshal in Rochester was receiving many telegrams to ask Douglass's movements, to ask Douglass's name and went from the home, but the telegram operator kept my father advised so that he knew just what move were being made to arrest him, even before the marshal did.

The announcement that the powers at Washington have decided to supplant Postmaster Edward M: Morgan by the appointment of Thomas G. Patten to succeed him has aroused much resentment among the business community, which regards Mr. Morgan as the best postmaster New York has ever had. Additional light is thrown upon the reasons actuating the Postmaster General's action by Mr. Morgan's reply to the charge that "the interests of the Postal Service require a change in the Postmastership." Among other things the postmaster said: things the postmaster said: As for Mr. Burleson's statement that "the proper examination of the office would be facilitated if the change could be made at an early date," it is absolutely untrue that I have thrown any barriers before the investigation, with one exception. That is that one of the "experts" who have been doing the investigating, a gentleman from Richmond, Va., thought that clerks should get not more than $1,200. I know that a man cannot live on that in New York; perhaps he can in Richmond. He also thought that a colored man should not get $1,200, as much as a white man. I told the gentleman from Richmond that as long as I was Palmatermant I would do what I could to proper pay for clerks, and that a black man would get the same pay as a white man who did the same work, so far as I was able to help him to: That was the only combat I made. That combat was evidently vital in the eyes of the statesman from Texas, who presides over the Post Office department. That a black man should get the same pay as a white man who did the same work was a sentiment so heterodox to Texas intellect that it plainly disqualified its author for continuance in public office. But will the new postmaster be able to qualify under this Texas requirement? Mr. Patten is considered to be a Tammany man, and whatever the faults of that organization, it has never laid down the doctrine that the rate of pay was to be regulated by complexion. AN AWAKENING. There are signs abroad of a gradual awakening of the American people to the great evil of mob law that has grown to such an extent in the body politic. Even so conservative an organ of public opinion as the journal founded A. D. 1728 in the City of Brotherly Love, and bearing the portrait of Benjamin Franklin, is moved to the following expression: American Barbarism. There is now a more powerful reaction against lynching — that abominable disgrace to the Unit States—than ever before. It is more generally realized that lynchers, whatever positions they may hold in society, are essentially stupid harbarians, whose anarchism fringes into question all social security and order. It is plain enough that no man's life can really be safe in a community given to lynching. There will probably be, at first, the extreme provocation of assault upon a woman. The record shows that, having yielded to that provocation, yielding to lesser ones becomes increasingly easy; and finally a mob will as readily slake its bloodthirsty by murdering a white man as a colored one. Because lynching has been more common in the South, the South is especially interested in discouraging it. The intelligent Southern opinion, which must finally prevail, is insisting upon the only remedy— conviction and punishment of mob murderers. When dominant opinion recognizes lynching for what it is—a detestable crime against society far more dangerous socially than any individual murder—lynching will disappear. Only the criminal sanction or tolerance of misguided opinion keeps it alive. Mobs never lynch except when they think it perfectly safe. As soon as they have to expect not sanction or tolerance, but genuine prosecution, they will leave the repression of crime to orderly processes of law. It is altogether a question of public opinion. To strengthen the right opinion is a plain duty for every one who wants that opinion to prevail. The importance of this calm and dispassionate pronouncement against mob law is the fact that it appears in a weekly of national circulation that is read in between one million and two million homes every week. Every such pronouncement must have its moral effect and forward the quickening of the Nation's conscience to its deadliest sin. The utterance of the "Saturday Evening Post" is a welcome promise of such an awakening. FUNSTON'S BRAVERY. In commenting on the bravery of Major-Gen. Frederick Funston, who died suddenly in Texas, Monday, the New York Sun relates the following incident: There was a Negro in a college town who started for Funston one day with a gleaming razor. The Negro weighed two hundred pounds, Funston barely one hundred. The Negro was six feet tall, Funston five feet three inches. In fifteen minutes Funston had the half-crazed black man in the lock-up and hadn't even mussed his own clothing. The absurdity of reciting such an incident in connection with Major-Gent. Funston's death, even if true, is only to be equalled by chanting "Walking the Dog" as his requiem. The bravery of the late soldier was too well known to need such an juicongruous bolstering up. INCITING LITIGATION In view of the success attending recent suits against proprietors of places of public accommodation for refusal to serve callers on account of race or color, a word of warning is justified against seeking or promoting this form of litigation without just grounds. Unserupulous lawyers and get-rich-quick adventurers may endeavor to work this vein for more than it is worth, but the attempt will be risky. Judges and juries are quick to discriminate between a proper effort to obtain monetary redress for refusal and a bold attempt to mulet an innocent publican. Such baseless attempts to capitalize race or color are sure to react not only upon the individuals promoting them but upon the race at large. The sense of justice and fairdealing gained in the courts should not be jeopardized in any speculative efforts to gain easy profits. And reputable members of the legal profession realize the dangers of promoting such litigation. This does not mean, however, that we should not strive to secure our legal rights by proper procedure HEALTH IMPROVEMENT Out of this conference has grown a campaign for a National Negro Health Week, to be observed April 22 to 28, 1917 The observance of this week will embrace the consideration of vital questions affecting the welfare of the race and the prevention of disease. The necessity of such a movement is shown by the statement that ill-health among the THE PROHIBITION QUESTION. The fact cannot be ignored that prohibition is today the greatest internal question—we are not trying to turn a joke—before the country. There is more widespread and active interest in it than there is in preparedness or any other strictly national question. State after state has gone dry; and many of the "dry" states are now taking steps to become "bone dry." Congress has passed a bill in aid of prohibition, and it seems certain that a prohibition amendment to the Constitution will sooner or later be submitted to the states. That such an amendment, if submitted, will be adopted is very likely. More than half the states in the Union have declared in favor of prohibition; in more than eighty-five per cent. of the territory of the United States liquor has been outlawed and more than sixty per cent. of the people of the country live in that territory. So it looks as though we are well on the way to nation wide prohibition. So far as the United States is concerned, this is not a sudden movement. It has been going on for a long time and gaining all the while. Nevertheless, the national importance which it has now attained may be set down as a result of the great war. The actions taken by Russia and France and England with regard to alcoholic drinks gave the whole question new legislative importance in this country. This is especially true of the actions taken by Russia and France, although for opposite reasons. These two countries provided the advocates of nation wide prohibition with a double-headed argument. They could say that Russia, with all of its ignorance and backwardness, had seen the advantages and necessity of national prohibition. On the other hand, they could say that France, the most intelligent country in the world, the home of wine and of gaiety, had realized that national restraint on alcoholic drinks was necessary to give to her people the increased physical and moral stamina needed so much now. That the actions of some of the European nations have given to prohibition better standing as a matter for legislative and official consideration in this country is strikingly illustrated in the history of the order abolishing the wine mess aboard ships of the United States navy. When Secretary Daniels issued his famous order, the country was amused and the navy was disgusted. Every newspaper paragrapher and humorist in the country made jokes at Mr. Daniels' expense and by more serious writers he was held up to scorn and derision. By way of argument, it was pointed out that the officers of our ships would be placed in a terribly embarrassing position when they received the officers of foreign ships aboard without being able to offer them a glass of wine. Since then, the navies of England, France and Russia have prohibited the use of alcoholic drinks on their ships, and Mr. Daniels' "grape juice" order has ceased to be a laughing matter. The prohibition movement is gaining in importance and strength, and the indications are that it will at no far off date sweep the country. The "dry" forces are aggressive and confident, while the "wet" forces are on the defensive and extracting what comfort they can from the declarations that prohibition does not really prohibit and that the rigid prohibition laws being passed will of themselves bring about a reaction in sentiment. A correspondent in the New York Sun brings figures to prove that prohibition does not prohibit. He claims to get his figures from the latest report of the United States Internal Revenue Bureau. These figures show that the Government collected a tax of $149,990,-660 on 146,355,146 gallons of whiskey in 1916, as against a tax of $137,004,131 on 124,549,210 gallons in 1915; that is, an increase of $32,986,529 in taxes and 21,805,936 in gallons. They also show that the consumption of beer was 61,145,869 barrels in 1916, as against 57,805,869 barrels in 1915; and the yield for 1916 amounted to $91,-718,375, as against $86,708,803 for the previous year. We have not verified these figures and cannot vouch for them. However, whether the above figures are true or false or merely misleading, it can be said with certainty that the prohibition laws in many of the "dry" states are more or less farcical. In most of these states people who want to go to the trouble can get just as much whiskey and beer for their personal use as they could reasonably want. In some cities the express companies do such a rushing business that it has been intimated they are interested in having prohibition laws passed. The question naturally comes up: if these states really want to abolish the use of liquor, why do they not prohibit it absolutely? It may be claimed that these states are gradually working up to absolute prohibition; that the whole step could not have been taken at once. At any rate, many of them are now attempting to pass "bone dry" laws. South Carolina passed a law week which makes it a crime to have liquor in one's possession except for scientific, mechanical, medicinal or sacramental purposes. It may be that this law is as tight a one as the legislators of that state feel can be passed at present, but any one can see that it is bound to become leaky. Perhaps, no greater efforts have been put forth by the opponents of alcohol than their efforts to explode the theory that it possessed any medicinal value when taken internally. Numerous books have been written and many experiments made to prove this point. race is causing financial losses greater than the combined revenues raised by towns, counties and states throughout the South; that education and health improvement will double Negro efficiency, that tuberculosis and malaria are insistent in their ravages. The agencies already enlisted in this movement include the leading organizations among the race, to which is added the helpful cooperation of such leading white organizations as the National Anti-Tuberculosis Association, the National Child Welfare Asso ciation, two of the great industrial insurance companies, the public health service and the various state and city health departments. Out of such concert of action much good should come. Every organization able to help the movement should do so. A health booklet is now being prepared, which will contain suggestions for conducting local Health Week campaigns. These will be supplied to those interested in the movement. Requests may be sent to Emmett J. Scott, secretary, Tuskegee Institute, Ala. and it has been pretty well established. There was a time when spirituous liquors were administered generally in hospitals and by physicians; such use of them is now almost entirely discontinued; so it seems that the principles of prohibition are particularly and needlessly discredited when an exception is made of brandy and whiskey to be taken as medicine. The South Carolina law provides that a person may be allowed one quart a month upon a doctor's prescription; this will undoubtedly result in producing many chronic invalids and liars and lead to the ethical downfall of many practitioners of medicine in the Palmetto State. There is another question raised by this law that is rather curious. Ought not the church refuse to accept a provision which makes it one of the obstacles to the enactment of an absolutely prohibitive liquor law? Would it not be an example worth the cost for the church to ask that the word "sacramental" be stricken out of the law and to adopt the use of unfermented wine? As to the other statement of the "wet" forces, that the prohibition laws being passed will of themselves bring about a reaction in sentiment, the truth remains to be seen. In our opinion, there will be no such result. But there is one phase of the whole question which we do not believe the prohibition people appreciate. They treat the problem of drink as though it were merely a matter of appetite and habit. They do not seem to realize that it is psychological as well as physiological. In order to stamp out the use of alcohol it must be understood that men do not drink simply because they like the taste of liquor, as children like the taste of candy; or simply because they have gotten into the habit. An element which enters largely into the use of alcohol is the fact that many men find in it the easiest, quickest and cheapest way of attaining self-realization. Civilization puts men in grooves and keeps them there; so, many a man who wants to break out of the groove and become the thing that he most desires down in his inmost self to be resorts to the quick and easy means of alcohol. One man years down in his heart of hearts to experience the joys of feeling that he is rich, and he finds that fifty cents worth of whiskey will do the trick. Another man longs to be a gay and carefree troubador, and he finds that a few glasses of wine will make him one. The use of alcohol is in a large measure a revolt against the limitations imposed by life, which make existence so different from the things men dream. But there are other ways of escaping these limitations. Some men do it by reading the books they love, some by playing the games they enjoy. It is a part of the work of the people who want to see the use of alcohol abolished to have men learn that they can escape the limitations of life through many far less damaging means than drinking liquor. But this brings up a question which space demands that we take up at another time. A good many people are opposed on principle to prohibition. They believe that personal liberty should not be curtailed by law. If these same people should visit the states where probition is in force, especially the Southern states, we are sure they would be willing to waive the principle. They would find that those who were most damaged are the ones who are now most benefitted. The drunken men who used to crowd the cheap barrel houses and line the slum streets are not able to order their monthly consignments by express, and so prohibition, even though it may not be in accord with the principle of individual liberty, is working great good in practice.

Have you subscribed for The Age? Don't stop now until you send in your subscription WHAT THE MUSIC DID Following the musical, program Mrs J. T. Brown read an article on "Personal Devils." Seventeen were present.—The Boone (Jowa) News-Republican "LOVE ON A FARM." There appeared in The Age of January 18 an article from the Contributing Editor, under the caption of "Love on a Farm," in which reference was made to a letter received from a farmer who had taken up land under the government's homestead law, proving up and paying for four quarter-sections of 160 acres each, or 640 acres in all. This farmer and ranch owner voiced his inability to find a wife of education and culture whose character and disposition would fit in with life on a farm. The farmer's letter was given in full, and commented on. Below are given some of the letters which have been received by The Act, as a result of the "Love on a Farm" article.) To the Editor of THE AGE: I am a reader of THE NEW YORK ACE, and as I read an article in the January 18th issue, I have thought several times of answering. I am a farmer's daughter and so I have decided to give my opinion of the Colored Farmer's Question: "The colored farmer has no chance to marry a good, industrious woman like the white farmer has." Well, it simply is the difference in the farmers. I have noted in the white farmer that his wife is treated as a lady. She has a hired girl or puts out the wash, he has taken to help him, or a good boy. The white farmer's wife is not kept down to hard labor. She dresses, gets in her carriage or automobile, goes where she desires to see her friends or marketing, with plenty of money from her husband. The colored farmer expects his wife to rise early, cook his breakfast after she has cut the wood and made the fire. She is expected to go to the barn and help feed the milk. She is expected to attend to the milk, either take it to the cream or make butter. She is expected to do all the cooking, house cleaning, sewing mending. She is expected to go into the field to load hay, cut corn or husk. He can't afford a man, but his wife must do it. He wants clean clothes, so he can go to his club Saturday night, where he can drink or smoke his money. If she gets $1, or even $5, she does well. Then it is with a great deal of anger, often curses and blows, false accusations, etc. Can you blame a woman for wanting to go away from a colored farmer? His wife is just his servant, not his wife to cherish and love as his marriage vow said. She is only a tool for his pocket. How can the poor thing be expected to be happy? No wonder she wants to go to Chicago or Washington or Omaha or New York for her bram is so dazed it needs change of scene to keep her from insanity. I am the daughter of a farmer, you can send this to Mr. Whatever name is. Let him give an answer. R. A. S. To the Editor of THE AGE: In reading THE AGE I also read the article on "Love on a Farm." Well, I seems odd, indeed, a man that has the ability to become so good a farmer could not find a wife who would not have to be packed off to some city every now and then. But, perhaps, he is like chun's husband, who is doing well, and his wife is spared from farm and household duty. Once in three years his wife may have people and friends and still be a good farmer's wife, or, perhaps, he is grumpy when she returns from a visit home. It strikes me that is something wrong with him. For my life I have loved a farm—wanted to see things grow—as is the same with other women I know. Mr. barrer is perhaps, and always has been, too busy to find the right women, and he should not judge them all by a few. Would say, I am not looking for a husband, but think Mr. Farmer would do well to look for not too highly cultured woman, for if he is looking for some one who would rather play the piano than do the farm washing, is hard, that is his mistake, as there are not a few women who would be glad of the chance to do the fair thing and be worth the home in exchange HENRIETTA A. I. KRIDMAS, West Norfolk Conn. MME. HACKLEY'S MESSAGE. In a neatly printed volume of over two hundred pages, Mme E. Axia Hackley, the noted musical artist, has issued a message to girls, cut out "The Colored Girl Beautiful." The book has been compiled from talks given to girls in boarding schools and is marked by frankness and practicality, inclusive of intimate conversation. Among the subjects discussed with freedom, tempered with discretion, are: laws of attraction, love, personal appearance, distance, originality, youth and matriculation, control, relationship with men, religious school, home, the working cell, the wife, the mother. At times epigramatic in expression, the author employs many trusses with a vein of humor that attracts attention. Thus she says "The beautiful part about the color race in America is the future. At mixed race we are undeveloped. We may become whatever we WILL be." A very encouraging distin upon which to base her book, talking about the two attractive periods in a woman's life, she says "A sense that reflects nothing is seldom full of joy. Our religion, it is laid down, that as a colored people expect entreaty to more help from God." Despite the high price of white paper, there is a lower price of plank pages, that gives the book an amateur air.

Senator Gilehrist's letter is < Senator Gilchrist's letter is a ringing indictment against our disinclination to get together and give whole-hearted support to those who champion our cause void of selfish motives. At the behest of colured constituents he introduced an anti-African Dod- ger Will, spending: not only his time but money, Senator Gil ‘christ tells you that his fellow- _membérs of the Senate subjected him to many jests. And yet the bill passed the Upper House, but “was killed in the Lower House. A few amusement promoters proved themselves more INF{.U- ENTIAL. than -all the colored peaple of the State of New York; not beeiuse they are but because they evinced’ more interest in get- ting the measure killed than col- ored people did to have it passed. A new bill has bee drawn up by a local colored lawyer of abil- “ity. He gave it to Senator Gil- christ to introduce in the Senate, Another law-maker has been en- trusted with the bill, for Senator Gilchrist has had one disagrce- lable experience championing the rights of colored people. He does not want another soon. You can- not blame him, He is a friend of the race, but his unpleasant ex- perience convinced him that the race could be more friendly to ITSELF, Now, what are the colored citi- zens of the State of New York going to do in this matter? Are they going to sit supinely by and indulge in nothing but talk; or are we going to show oar friend, Senator Gilchrist, his colleagues of the Legislature and the public that we, tov, are possessed of stich admirable traits as RACE.

Y.City. Telephone 718 Chelsea hands of the speedy Hampton Institute quint in the latter's gymnasium, on Reb- tuary 17, Although Howard was de- feated by a large score, the game was interesting “and lean sportsmanlike spirit that was exhibited by both tcanhs was superior to anytiiing acen on the Hampton court this season, E From the beginning, the game scem- ed to have been in the Virgintang favor. With Edwards in forward and Dorsey in guard, it seemed almost jm- possible for Howard to keep the af in their zone. Time and again the Capi- tal City lads breught the ball from gue end of the courtto the other, but their lack of ability to cage it was a great handicap. Hampton showed a great dtal of im: provement in teamwork and goal shoot- ‘ing over their last game. With such sensational shots as were made by Ed- wards, Gurnoe and Dorsey, things look very favorable for a victory over St. Christopher on Washington's’ Birthday. During the first half the Seasiders held the Collegians to two field goals and three foul goals. Iampton was able to cage six field goals and two foul goals during this half, hence the half ended 14 to 7. At the beginning of the second half, Coach Williams sent Dorsey to center and substituted both guards and a for- ward, Fuwards and Gurnoe caged the ball at Gill, while Dorsey outjumped the crowd, batting them into the basket to Howard's amazement. Wiseman and Miles were the mainstays for Howard. The clever shots by Wiseman are com- mendable. The entire half was in Hampton's favor. Howard was unable to overtake the great lead that the Sea- side machine gained during the early part of the game. The line-up: _ Hampton (35)—Paxton, c.; Edwards, (Capt.), rf: Gumoe, L..; Dorsey resi Miser, l.g.; Howard (11)—Williams, ¢; Miles, rf; Wiseman, Lf.; Davis, rg.3 Morgan, 1g.

C, Brooklyn.—Last Thursday night before a crowd that packed the rink to its doors, | Willie Langford, the colored middleweight of Brooklyn, a ‘boy who, when in . condi- tion, really can fight, but who recently has’ been indisposed, met Young Ahearn, formerly of Philadelphia, but now making his-home in Brooklyn, in the star bout of the.evening. From the applause that each fighter received dar- ing cach of the ten rounds it was one of the best fights staged at this club in some time. Langford showed that he was in rare form by assuming the ag- gressive side of the fight and kept on carrying the figtit to his white oppon- ent and several times had Ahearn in a very bad fix with his.stif’ punches and jabs. He used a right cross with tell- ing effect_and his lightning left jabs found their mark cach time he started them. Many of the fans present had the idea that the colored boy could have ended the bout long before the limit. Langford showed that he was the white boy's master in all departments of self- defence: He left the ring without a mark while his opponent was a much battered up young man Weights— Langford 156%; Ahearn 158. Miltary AC, Greenpoint, L._1— Last Monday might Avery Mack, “pre- mier matchmaker of rooklyn, who also acts in that capacity for the above club and the Vanderlult A.

Jamaica K-d, who has not met with a defeat since’ arriving in this town, proceeded to polish his white op. ponent in his usual businesshike way The colored boy heing very clever anc also a geod two-handed fighter, had Ii tle trouble in connecting with ‘Sontag’ face and hody any time he wanted to, a the same time, evading’all of his onpon- ent’s teads with ease.
