Young's recommendations were approved by the Adjutant General. The Adjutant General of Ohio, as well as Ohio's governor, had authorized the Colonel select his own officers, and exercised this prerogative, picked out a number of men for commissions who actually had seen service in the Spanish-American War, and of whose ability in experience he was familiar. It is said that because of this stand, incidents, from which the regiment at built-motivated and threatened to be Practically all of the officers of Ninth Battalion were exposed, candidates for Colonel, responded, advising majors and captainels, and it is believed that political pull was being led by some to secure commissions. Fear is expressed that the rebellious product of members of the Ninth Battalion may result in no coloured regiment officered from Colonel down to corporal with Negroes as was to have in the case with Col. Young's unit that to do with the Ninth Battalion is puzzling the authorities. All the units of the Ohio National card have been ordered to mobilize Montgomery, but the status of the Ninth Battalion is in doubt. Before leaving for Wilberforce Col. Young let it be known that he did not require recommendation for military men if he did not propose risking the safety and lives of this hired with incompetent officers.

New York Delegation Goes To Washington To See President; Greeted by Secretary Tumulty "Seeing the President" is no new experience with me, for I have had the pleasure of conversing with quite a number of the nation's chief executives, and during the Taft administration was invited to call at the White House on several occasions. But on Wednesday of last week I went through an unusual ordeal at the White House, which might be entitled "Not Seeing the President." I was a member of a delegation of Negroes from New York who called to talk with Mr. Wilson personally about the murdering of innocent Negroes and to protest against the reign of mob law in many sections of the country. We carried with us a beautifully engrossed memorial which set forth that in the last thirty-one years 2,867 colored men and women have been lynched by mobs without trial and that less than a half-dozen persons out of the tens of thousands involved have been punished for murder. was pleading for justice; that in view of the fact that the Negro was largely in the South and the South was now in control of the Government, the President did not want to appear too sympathetic toward the Negro for fear of offending his "sensitive" Southern brethren who do not believe that the Negro has any rights, which the South nor the white Southerner is bound to respect. The members of the delegation really wanted to see the President if only for a few minutes, and would be as Before leaving New York for Washington I openly expressed misgivings to members of the delegation about the probability of being received by Mr. Wilson, for his record during his five years as President has not been such to inspire any Negro that he had a true and sympathetic friend in the White House. There is as much difference between the respective attitudes of Goverr Cleveland and Woodrow Wilson, both Democrats, on the race question as there is between chalk and cheese; but one was a Northerner of broad and generous ideas, while the other was a Southerner who, despite many years of residence in the North, retained many of the chocolate and asthebellion ideas of what the Negro of today should do and should do. cross the portals of the White House, and the impression exists that they are as welcome as a case of smallpox. A few colored men are accorded the rare privilege of shaking hands with Mr. Wilson, but they are regarded as "good darkies" who are called by their first name, spend most of their time telling about the good white folks back home and who are greatly "loved" for "keeping in their place." But as for Negroes of influence and culture, men who stand for something, who respect themselves and demand respect in return, they receive no recognition whatsoever, and their chances of getting a word with Mr. Wilson are very slim. Members of the New York delegation at least some of them, had hopes of being ushered into the august presence of the President, as word had been sent to the White House by Mr. Hudspath of New Jersey, one of the men accredited with having made Mr. Wilson politically, that the delegation was coming, and the answer had been sent back to tell them to come on. A. F. Cosey also had received word from Mr. Tumulty to tell the delegation to call at the White House at 12 o'clock. So when the noon bells were ringing the entire delegation was escorted to the office of Mr. Tumulty, who was very cordial in his greeting as each was presented by his Cosey. After the introductions Mr. Tumulty began to emphasize the many responsibilities of his chief, stating that the principal reason Mr. Wilson would be unable to see the delegation during the day was owing to the great importance of the food supply bill, which was demanding his attention. Then James W. Johnson who had been chosen as spokesman of the delegation, in a few well chosen words, presented the written appeal which asked for justice for 12,000,000 American citizens. bureaucracy sympathetic. Mr. Tumulty expressed himself deeply interested in the delegation's endeavors to secure a square deal for colored citizens, and with feeling assured those present that the President was greatly interested in the welfare of the Negro and fully appreciated his desire for proper redress for the wrongs committed against him. Extracts of letters were read by Mr. Tumulty which had been written by his chief to Cabinet officers having control of these matters, in which the writer ordered that everything he done to put a stop to the evils complained of. The letters were not for publication; Mr. Tumulty aided the press. The impression made upon the members of the committee was that the President was desirous of doing something, but really did not know how to go about it since it was the Negro who was pleading for justice; that in view of the fact that the Negro was largely in the South and the South was now in control of the Government, the President did not want to appear too sympathetic toward the Negro for fear of offending his "sensitive" Southern brethren who do not believe that the Negro has any rights which the South nor the white Southerner is bound to respect. The members of the delegation really wanted to see the President if only for a few minutes, and would have been as polite to him as they were to his distinguished secretary. They wanted to read to Mr. Wilson the harrowing cruelties that had been inflicted upon innocent, law-abiding Negroes at East St. Louis. They had no intention of telling him of the horrors of Waco or Memphis, although they might have brought to his attention his celebrated letter to the late Bishop Walters. Had the delegation been permitted to see the President it is very likely an appeal would have been made for him to come out and express himself unequivocally in favor of the Negro in his quest for liberty, the putnik of happiness and for a real, human democracy. Mr. Tumulty, however, well represented the President, appearing most sympathetic and decking: "Something must be done." Well, we will not get a chance to see the black man becoming that before the close of his administration Mr. Wilson will speak out plainly to the South and other communities where lawlessness prevails, and will tell the South that it must recognize that the black man had rights and that law and order must prevail. We were led to believe that Mr. Wilson should be given a reasonable time to think. Visit Senators Calder and Freling- tory. From the White House the delegation visited the Senate and the House. A friendly greeting awaited us when we called on Senator William M. Calder, of New York and Senator Joseph L. Prelinghuizen of New Jersey. They were also presented with memorials and after reading them pledged their hearty support, volunteering to read the appeals into the record and to urge an investigation that would bring results. As spokesman for the committee I explained to both Senators that social justice, not "social equality," was desired, and in telling of the race's progress stated that the Negro in the United States was worth three billions of dollars in farm lands, homes, etc., had 30,000 school teachers, 30,000 ministers of the gospel, had on deposit $200,600,000 in banks controlled by white men and had 50,000 Negroes employed in the packing houses throughout the country, some being at East St. Louis. Senator Calder and Freddingbyness admitted that the South, which is in the saddler did not at all times treat the Negro fairly, saying that a change would sooner or later take place by advancing the proper argument and submitting facts which could not be denied. They promised to do their part in enlightening the South. Senator James W. Wadsworth of New York, who was occupied with important committee work, asked Senator Calder to represent him, sending word that he was willing to do what he could to improve conditions. Members of the delegation also called on the Socialist Congressman, Mr. Landy, who expressed great sympathy for the Negro people and promised his support. He advised the Negroes of the country to play better politics if they wanted to get better results. We did not see the President. I did not expect to. But taking everything into consideration I sincerely believe that our visit will do a lot of good, and even though Mr. Wilson did not meet us face to face and hear from our lips what we had, to say on behalf of the Negro, he will be made to see, through Secretary Tumulty, that the colored people of America are anxious to be included in the real democracy about which he talks so much.

MOTORS AND THE MINISTERS. The time was when a congregation desiring to show its appreciation of the shepherd of the flock would present him with a suit of ministerial black cloth or a gold time piece. Later on a purse providing for a vacation trip to Europe or the Holy Land (or "Holly Lands" as one brother wrote it) became the vogue. Now the popular form of laical appreciation of apostolic zeal can only be expressed in the highest degree by the donation of an automobile touring car. Thus is the erstwhile devil wagon converted into the prophet's chariot. But there is a serious side to this practice which should be considered. If the pastor's charge covers so wide a territory that the motor is a necessary aid in the fulfillment of his parochial duties, well and good. But if its chief purpose is merely to magnify the importance of the possessor and to indulge in ministerial joy riding, the propriety of such expenditures may be questioned. The money that pays for such indulgence comes from the pockets of the church members, mostly poor people who out of their hard earned dollars contribute in liberal measure to the support of the churches. It is doing wrong to them when their contributions are devoted to anything but the absolute requirements of spreading the gospel. A denominational organ recently figured that the average amount paid to the ministers of the race was about $350. Evidently in these days of the high cost of living a large proportion of the clerical and session must have a hold time making both ends meet. It is up to the church financiers to quantify the income account so that the postors of the small change may receive little wage, while at the same time curbing extravagance and the tendency to high living. denominational O.D. community. In the order of the priest and ordained priest in religious as well as secular of fairs. The spread of the gospel in the interest of better, living should be administered with duprégard to the needs of both laity and clergy. The dollars and dimes of the toilers There is an ostensibly pathetic touch in a letter published in the Waterbury (Conn.) Republican, signed "Constant Reader," in which the writer concludes with the following appeal: "In pleading" the black man's cause don't forget there are lots of very deserving poor white people in our midst." Undoubtedly there is some reason for this plaint, as the lot of the poor people generally in this country is beset with difficulties and hardships, which grow in intensity every day in the struggle for mere existence. In fact every condition and color has its burdens and troubles, and the spirit with which they are borne has much to do in easing the weight of the load. Of course the Negro deems his lot the hardest; because in addition to the ordinary burden of human life, he has to carry the handicap of American proscription and prejudice: But he is, fortified by the indomitable spirit of hope and endurance in running the race that is set before him. More sympathy would be felt for "Constant Reader" and the class he represents, if his plea were not so strongly tinctured with that colorophia characteristic of a certain class of Southern whites. For instance, he says, Why is it that here in the North when they accumulate in great numbers that the first thing. Negroes do is to butt right into public places where the white people are, and become so domineering that it is not well for a white man to be in their way? American democracy, that a few of you northern editors holler so much for is all right, but you will find out that if you give the colored man an inch he is going to take a mile, and in this mile he is going to come in contact with you as well as the rest of us. It is very well for the rich white people to be getting free advertising pleading for the Negro for the simple reason that they live, in neighborhoods where reats are high and there is no danger of having to come in contact with the Negro. But with the poor man it is different. The Negro moves in next door and then another family of Negroes, and the first thing the poor white knows he is surrounded by the colored folks. He looks around and funds his home, his job and everything else are being taken by the Negro. As he cannot live the way the black man can, he has got to go. The result is what happened at East St. Louis. The charge that Negroes are "domineering" in public places does not ring true of the race as a whole, and there must be something decidedly wrong about the situation if he finds his home, job and everything taken by the Negro, as this writer asserts. The indictment is too sweeping to be warranted by the facts. The real animus is betrayed in the dictum that the Negro's chance is in the South, "where the people know how to keep him in his place." The best thing for "Constant Reader" and his tribe would be to return to the South, where his sentiments stamp him as belonging. More than likely he is a paid tool, hired, to spread the virus of race hatred in those localities hitherto free from it. Work sections of our towns and cities; without a presence for services, or a garage service without precisely any of the necessary conditions in houses, or yards or streets, which whiten, consider and duplicate necessity. We drive the worst forms of immorality into the Negro quarters—and then curse the Negro because of his moral weakness. If there is to be a red light dis- In this great war Russia has successively been the hope and the despair of the allied powers. To-day she is the despair. The recent Russian collapse brings about a more serious condition than her allies-care to acknowledge. The newly-organized and equipped armies of Russia that began their terrific drive on the Southeast front a few weeks ago are still fleeing before the German and Austrian forces. Whole regiments are reported to have thrown down their arms and fled without offering any resistance to the enemy. What is the matter with Russia? What is the master with the Russian troops? These are questions that are being answered in various ways. In the first year of the war Russia made her tremendous advance in Galicia and East Prussia, taking stronghold after stronghold. There were many who thought that the war would end with the Russian armies entering Berlin. Then came the great retreat, and Russia was out of the fighting for months. That first collapse was explained by the statement that a corrupt, autocratic government had failed to supply its men with the needed arms, ammunition and supplies; and therefore a retreat was necessary just when a decisive victory was at hand. This recent collapse is being explained otherwise. The incompetent, grafting government of the Czar is a thing of the past. The new army was fighting under the new democracy, and was admitted to be the best equipped force that Russia has yet put in the field. So the autocratic, incompetent Czar and his entourage of grand dukes and grand grafters cannot be held accountable. The explanation now being offered is that German influence has honeycombed the ranks of the Russian army. In my opinion this is attributing too much power to German influence. I do not believe that German influence could be secretly disseminated to such an extent as to cause whole regiments to throw down their arms and flee. We shall have to look or a more plausible reason than that. In loking for this reason, we must bear this seemingly paradoxical truth in mind: Russia has been for generations the most autocratically ruled nation in Europe; yet the Russian people have been for years the most advanced thinkers of democratic ideas of all peoples in the world. The idea of democracy in Russia is a government in which the people really rule. Here in the United States we have a democracy in which the people merely vote—and about ten million of them are prevented from doing that. The power in control of Russia to-day is the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Deputies; that is, a parliament of industrial workers and the men who have had to do the fighting. And if the Russian people are not interfered with and handicapped in carrying out their plans, they will establish the first real democracy of modern times. With this truth about Russia in mind, we can well understand that when they threw off the yoke of the Czar the Russian people considered their victory won. What did it matter to them about Serbia or Belgium or Constantinople? They were ready to stop fighting and were anxious to go about organizing their new government, a government in which the poor man would have a chance to plant his feet on his own land and where the workman would be not a mere industrial slave, but a partner in the wealth he helped to create. And it is here that the Russian people have discovered the long hid secret of democracy. In this country the people have thought it was in laws; so we pass a new law for this and a new law for that, and in the end we find it works out just the same. But the Russians have learned that the workingman must become a partner not only in the right to vote, but a partner also in the thing that rules every country, regardless of votes, namely the wealth producing power. For be it understood that a country ruled by millionaires can no more be a democracy than one ruled by grand dukes. The Russian people are being goaded on by their allies to keep up the offensive, but their heart is no longer in the war, they feel there trict in town, it is dumped into the area into which we also dump the Negro, population. It would be a comparatively easy matter to produce statistics which indicate that the Negro is the worst criminal in the world, but how can he help becoming such? We subject him to the severest tests of our city life—physical, moral and political—and then cynically declare the "migger" is no good anyway. such a manner as to be able to reclaim the management of their property and abide by the decision of the majority. The latest charge brought against Mayor Mitchel by his Tammany-Hearst opponents is that he has But there is another side to this question. The Negroes who live under these unsanitary conditions are our laundresses, nurses and cooks. If there is cattagious disease in their own homes—and there is much of it—they are sure to bring it to our homes, either personally or through the laundry which we send to them. The writer concludes with the injunction: "Let us give the Negro a square deal." That is just what the race has been calling for, and the fact that white men of the stamp of this pronoun are coming to recognize the facts gives promise of better things for the future. May there be more increase in numbers and influence. Two notes that the two conflicting factions of the Odd Fellows of Georgia have entered into a promise of their differences in order to save the property of the orderer of good citizens. Now let them meet in grand lodge as provided by the orderer of the court and adjourn their differences so as to permit peace. Let them elect the proper officers in such a manner as to be able to reclaim the management of their property and abide by the decision of the majority. The latest charge brought against Mayor Mitchel by his Tammany-Ileast opponents is that he has acted "as an ally of the Republican party." His appointments were and are almost, wholly made from the rank and file of Republicans." This will certainly be news to the rank and file of New York City Republicans and might come under the head of important if true. That the spirit of mobocracy is no respecter of persons or color was again shown in the lynching of an impolite, white ioror leader, in Montana last week. This emphasizes the danger to the maintenance of law that has been allowed to go to such lengths in the mere suffiance of the lynching over a Socialist officer in Missouri Square. Garrett referred to the fact that a Negro was lurched on an average every four days in this country as illustrating the hypocrisy of the American people in their plea for liberty and democracy. All of which goes to show that the injustice dealt out to one race is bound to react on the whole nation. The injury to one is bound to become the chief end of all in time. their own salvation without hindrance. Nevertheless, they have the light of true democracy before their eyes, and if they fail, the failure cannot be charged entirely to them. New Russia is intent upon real democracy not only for herself but for the world. This was shown when the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Deputies issued as a basis for immediate peace the following demands: When these demands were issued several English newspapers set thenselves to show that this declaration of the Russian Revolutionary Government fully coincided with the Anglo-French war aims. To these English journals the organ of the Council of Workmen's and Soldiers' Deputies replied as follows—we quote from "The Masses": You are deceiving yourselves, gentlemen, or, rather, you are vainly striving to delude your fellow-countrymen concerning the real policy of the Russian revolution. The revolution will not sacrifice a single soldier to help you repair the "historic injustices" committed against you. What about the historic injustices committed by yourselves, and your violent oppression of Ireland, India, Egypt, and innumerable peoples inhabiting all the continents of the world? If you are so anxious for justice that you are prepared in its name to send millions of people to the grave; then, gentlemen, begin with yourselves. The slogan of democracy raised by Russia is sincere. It does not mean that only Belgium and Serbia and Roumania are to be delivered from German domination, but that North Africa and South Africa and India and other parts of the world are to be delivered from English, French, Italian and Belgian domination. And this goes to the heart of the whole matter. It is true that Germany started the great war, but there would have been no such war or cause for such war, were it not for the ambition of all the powers to dominate and exploit the weaker peoples. And as this greed of which all the great nations are guilty—and none more guilty than that Nation which is held up as the innocent martyr of the conflict, Belgium—is the main cause of the world war, so, there can be no hope of world peace until the right of one nation to forcibly impose its rule on another is denied to all nations alike. To-take this right from Germany and retain it for the Allies will only mean preparation for another and greater war. Strange things are happening, but nothing is stranger than that the first gleam of true democracy should shine from out darkest Russia. WE WANT THE PUBLIC WORD.

The President claimed that he was so busy with war matters he could not spare the time. There is no doubt that the President is extremely Busy, and there is also no doubt that he was not desirous of meeting any colored delegation at this time. The reason is plain. If the President should personally receive a colored delegation, especially such a delegation as the one sent by the Silent Protest Parade, he could not escape making some statement as to his attitude on the Negro; and that is something which Mr. Wilson seems bent on avoiding. This delegation in presenting its petition called upon the President to use his great official powers, to have some redress granted for the grievances set forth. The president was also asked to use his personal influence by speaking some public word that would give hope and courage to our people. Mr. Tumulty, replying for the President, stated in rather general and platitudinous phrases that Mr. Wilson was horrified by the East St. Louis riots and that "the matter would not be neglected." In support of this statement, he read a letter from Mr. Wilson to an Hon. Mr. Somebody, and cautioned the delegation that nothing in the letter was to be made public. That is just the point. We want Mr. Wilson to express his sentiments publicly. He might write a thousand private letters to friends and express sentiments regarding our treatment as fair as those of Theodore Roosevelt, but these letters will have very little effect. We could frame a sentence of fifty words, which if spoken in public by the President would do the race more good than any fifty thousand private and confidential letters that he might write to individuals. What we want from the President is some public utterance for fair play and justice to the American Negro. Has Mr. Wilson the right sort of heart and the right sort of courage to make it? A musical authority has proclaimed that the term "jass," variously spelled jas, jass, jaz, jazz, jasy, and jasz, is African in origin. It means to speed things up and was applied to music of a rudimentary, syncopated type.

Mercy and justice have alike been trodden under foot. Now the crisis has come and the ransom must be paid. We are thankful that there remains one great man, the hero of the nation, who fearlessly defended the murder of our defenceless people at East St. Louis, Col. Theodore Roosevelt. We as a race should tender him our undivided appreciation and our united prayers that his days may be multiplied and ten years of his life be increased. (Mrs.) CORNELIA E. WILLIAMS. Flushing, N. Y.

THE GROWTH OF LYNCHING. To the Editor of The New York Age, In 1894 a poor defienless Negro was lynched in the State of Georgia second of rape. He was taken from jail by the mob, saturated with oil and irritated at the stake. Excursion trains were run to the scene and the females of the mob secured the fingers of the victim as souvenirs, so the daily papers reported. Not a single protest did I see in the papers, except by our people and in our pulpits.

A MAN'S CHANGE TO FIGHT To the Editor of The New York Age: I congratulate you on the stand that you are making a difference there could be nothing better at this time than a full confession of faith by the authorized at Washington as to what they might do in the matter of providing a marry chance for the Negro to fight both in the army and the navy.

Nearstanding, grim forebodings, and the part of his work, in heavily paid military company, are representatives of the North Carolina virtual and Provident Association their shoulders to the wheel in a prime effort to stem the surging of the threat. The result was the widening of the following situations resulting from a survey of past half year's business. During the past six months, the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association enjoyed phenomenal growth, the largest increase in business, the most compelling partnership since the company organization. The gross collection for the first six months of 1917 represented $1,866,000 over $100,000 in 1918, while the gross assets of the company have increased to over $265,900.

No Negro insurance company operating anywhere enjoys a greater degree of patronage than the North Carolina Mutual and Provident Association.

PAUL'S FARMERS' CONFERENCE Lawrenceville, despite his skilful and informationful thirteenth annual session of the Paul Farmers' Conference in here July 26-27, was a splendid success. The attendance, despite the weather and high water, in various parts of the county, was 1,200. An outdoor meeting had arranged and a large arbor constructed but could not be used the first time. Though a large structure, was used to hold the throng. It was red letter day for the conference for former Gov. Mann address the gathering. The address from all parts of the county and in Mecklenburg, Greeneville and Lansburg. The former Governor received an introduction he arose morn after an Introduction by President Russell. After some complimentary remarks about what he had heard and not about the progress of the Negroes in Brunswick and what he had seen himself since being in their midst and self-serving as an uplift agency, which he was second to none in the country, he got down to his main topic: "Artsultural Preparedness." He said that he had been sent to them by the Virginal Council of Defense and laid stress on the importance of improving the and increasing its productivity. He also stressed the importance of cultivation the resources of the State could take care of 10,000,000 population instead of 2,200,000; that of the 25,000,000 acres of cultivated land in the State only 4,000,000 were under cultivation, 10,000,000 acres being held. He made an appeal for the cultivation of our lands. He the impatient and hard work of the estate's stationation service was referred to especially Dr. Eggleston's help in the velocipiting it. The speaker concluded by expressing gratification at the good relation of the race in the county as a result of the successful hearing arranging for a plan of operation, between the white and colored people in holding a county fair.

WALTON.) about the suffrage pickets are unalterably opposed to giving woman the ballot and are as equally opposed to giving the Negro a square deal. Perhaps, after all, these accounts were inspired for obvious reasons. This is an era of revolutionary changes, and colored Americans are as keenly awake to new conditions as the champions of woman's suffrage. Miss Clarke says "the spirit of democracy in these women is strong." So is the spirit of democracy strong in colored Americans. By cooperation both forces should be able to accomplish great good in their fight for a real democracy, provided, of course, they proceed on a fifty-fifty arrangement. For no newspaper—no power on earth can stop this great wave of progress which will bring to men and women, white and black a newer freedom. Not the kind of new freedom of which we read so much, but a New Freedom literal in its strictest sense. "THE GAMBLERS" NEXT LAFAYETTE SHOW The Gamblers' will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre, commencing Monday of next week. No better selection than this piece could have been made. It is a celebrated play by a celebrated author, Charles Kleing who gave to the stage such notable pieces as "The Lion and the Mouse" and "The Music Master." "The Gambler" offers fine opportunities for nearly every member of the popular stock company. The play itself is a genuine Broadway success and the story is one of absorbing interest, containing brilliant dialogue and made tense. No play of Mr. Klein's has been received with more acclaim and certainly none/that has been offered during the season will better please our patrons. The action of the play takes place in New York City, the first act showing the smoking room of a wealthy banker. We learn that this banker, Mr. Emerson, has entrusted the management of his affairs to his son, Wilbur, who, with his associates, have established a chain of banks throughout the city, which has severely taxed their resources. In order to meet pressing demands and secure more money, the directors, including Wilbur, have given their individual-notes, endorsed by old Emerson, to the bank. Using these notes Wilbur has borrowed funds beyond the legal limit, and the Federal authorities have found it out. A lawyer named Darwin is made special appointee of the United States Attorney General to prosecute Wilbur and his associates. Darwin is jealous of Wilbur for the reason that his wife was formerly Wilbur's sweet-heart. He is striving after political honors, and being a selfish man, is willing to sacrifice everything to his ambition. He and his wife are gradually drifting apart owing to his neglect and selfishness. Cowper, one of the directors, becoming panic stifles, makes a deal with Darwin to turn over the evidence necessary to the prosecution, in return for the confession, he makes a written confession, and placing it with the tell-tale notes in a package, delivers it to Darwin's house while the latter is away. Wilbur, learning of Cowper's duplicity, swears to recover the package and goes to the court to be tried, ordered by Mrs. Darwin as he is about to secure the package, which she contrives to get hold of. He tells her what he came for and begs her to give him the package, but she refuses to betray her husband. Darwin has been imprisoned, but is at his house and returns to find his wife and Wilbur together. Wilbur confesses why he came to the house, but Darwin refuses to believe either his wife or Wilbur and causes the arrest of the latter. He then demands the package of his wife. She refuses to give it up or tell where and when Darwin accuses of faithfulness. Gouged beyond endurance and stung by her husband's selfish motives, she denounces him and tells him she is through with him forever. Wilbur is released from fail and getting possession of the package from Mrs. Darwin destroys Cowper's sentence for the acts of himself and his associates. He goes to fall, however, cheered by the thought that happiness awaits him upon his release, in which he is old and sweetheart. The mere telling of his small insight of the gripping power of this fascinating drama, which holds one's attention from the very beginning. BORDENTOWN PREPARING FOR CHANTAQUA Bordentown, N.

ACCORDING to Miss Pauline Clarke, editor of The Suffragist, a weekly published in Washington, D. C., the suffrage pickets arrested and incarcerated at Occoquan charged with disorderly conduct on the White House Ground, were misquoted by the daily press when it was stated that they expressed great indignation over being compelled to occupy the same dormitory with colored women. Miss Clarke explains the correct attitude of the women in the following communication: To the Dramatic Editor of The Age: My attention has been called to an article of yours in The New York Age of July 26. The press accounts of the suffrage pickets at Occoquan were not accurate in expressing any distaste on the part of these women in being imprisoned with colored women. I think your article is somewhat unfair in accusing these women of being undemocratic. The objection which they made, to what they considered an intentional ill-treatment on the part of the authorities responsible for their arrest, was the dangerous sanitary condition of the dormitory which they were made to occupy with both white and colored prostitutes; although there were more than fifty beds empty in an unoccupied dormitory. I think that almost every up-to-date prison at present uses greater precaution than this to keep healthy prisoners from contact with the diseased ones. This is the truth of the matter, and any other point of view was irresponsible newspaper gossip. I felt that I wanted personally to point this out to you because the spirit of democracy in these women is so strong. Very sincerely yours, (Signed) Pauline Clarke, Editor. It is indeed gratifying to receive the foregoing communication for a number of reasons, and the editor of The Suffragist, by voluntarily stating the facts in the case, has helped to advance the cause of female suffrage among the colored people of this country; for many had become luke-warm toward these exponents of suffrage because of published accounts of their undemocratic stand on the color question. We agree with Miss Clarke that precaution should be taken to keep healthy prisoners from coming in contact with diseased ones; the latter irrespective of color, should be segregated and healthy prisoners irrespective of color should be kept to themselves. A like condition ought to obtain outside of prison. Negroes would not object to "Jim Crow" cars if the untidy and illiterate of both races were made to sit together and the cleanly and refined occupied seats in the same car, be they white or colored. The galling feature of our present-day democracy is the general disposition to class all colored people alike, making color a badge of inferiority. Colored voters, as a rule, were heartily in favor of voting for female suffrage until the papers told of how disparagingly the militant suffragists spoke of the colored female prisoners at Occoquan. Now that Miss Clarke has branded these reports as untrue we once more will espouse the cause of the suffragist. It is now recalled that the newspapers which distorted the truth THE DIFFICULTIES OF A PIONEER FILM COMPANY As a rule a small and growing business enterprise at first finds the road very rocky, no matter how worthy its undertaking may be, but when the proposition is fostered by Negroes the task is doubly hard. No one has a fuller appreciation of this fact than the management of the Frederick Douglass Film Company, said to be the only motion picture concern in the country backed by Negroes. * The moving spirits of the Frederick Douglass Film Company are Dr. Geo. E. Cannon and Dr. W. S. Smith, both of Jersey City, N. J. Dr. Cannon has put up most of the money to make the enterprise a success and Dr. Smith has spent many valuable hours to further the interest of the concern. Dr. Smith was in a voluble mood Monday, when an AGE representative opened up a discussion relative to the future of the colored motion picture industry and the many difficulties encountered by a pioneer. He expressed himself as being optimistic over the ultimate success of his company, provided the colored people of the country gave the desired support. "White film producers only manufacture pictures which ridicule the race," said Dr. Smith. "What they think is Negro comedy is usually a burlesque in the race. The Frederick Dahlhaus Films Company" has the field to give the public motion plays which do not degrade the race; but unless we receive the loyal co-operation of colored patrons of the movies we will be a failure. Managers of moving picture houses patronized by white people do not want photo plays representing the up-to-date Negro. It is, therefore necessary that we do business with what are commonly known as 'colored houses.' "The other day I went to a white manager on Eight avenue. New York, who makes most of his money catering to colored people. I spoke to him about using our latest photo play. 'The Scapegoat', and he told me that his colored people' did not want such a Negro play; that they were satisfied with what they were getting and liked the pictures with slap-stick Negro characters they saw at his house. I was unable to do business with him, for he felt that he knew what the colored people in the neighborhood wanted and he did not think it necessary to give them pictures of a higher calibre—pictures that would make them feel proud of being what they are. "Now this manager needs to be taught a good lesson by the colored people who are putting bread and butter into his mouth. If they make a demand for better Negro pictures they will get them; but if they continue to The Lincoln Giants won a doubleheader Sunday at Olympic Field, defeating Danhury 3 to 3 and then trouncing Schecteny 15 to 12 in a tightest.

"Nine-tenths of the reports on The Scapegoat' have been very good, but we have received a few criticisms. For instance, one colored manager in the South wrote that while he liked the patrons who were black, he thought it the best Negro photo-play they had seen, he did not relish the idea of portraying colored police officers, as he was afraid the white people in his town might not like it. "Some time ago one of our representatives called to see another manager with a view to booking-a picture. This manager admitted that two-thirds of his customers were colored, and yet he had the temerity to state that he used white pictures because Negroes preferred to see white faces on the screen or funny Negro pictures. Our representative asked him what he considered a funny Negro picture, and the reply was: "Well, you know I mean comedy, like Negroes in some hen roost, shooting craps, eating watermelon or razor fights. You know your people are funny anyhow." The manager further said that he once had a picture called "Ham Bone," which had five big black Negroes in the cast, and it was the funniest picture the people had ever seen, and the people nearly cracked their sides a laughing." As Dr. Smith says, the manager is anxious to give the people what they want and what they seem to enjoy. It is, therefore, up to the colored people to set the manager right by making an insistent demand for up-to-date Negro pictures and making known in no uncertain terms that razor-crapping, watermelon "comedy" is no longer desirable. You will be put on a better light before the world and such deserving enterprises as the Frederick Douglass Film Company will be morally and financially encouraged. This company has produced two photo plays which have attracted attention in all sections. The first, "Winning His Suit," has been cut to four reels and is a much better picture than when originally presented. The last and best picture, "The Scapegoat," in three reels, has made a big hit in many of the best picture houses, namely: Franklin, New York; Howard, Washington; D.C. Regent, Baltimore; Olympia, Philadelphia; Majestic Jersey; Phoenix, Chicago. "The Scapegoat" has pronounced by leading critics to be the best "Negro photo play ever produced. At a recent meeting of the board of directors it was voted to enlarge the activities of the firm and stock is now being sold at $$ a share.

HOMESTEAD GIANTS WIN SERIES Hor Springs, Va.—On Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday, July 30, 31, and August 14 the Homestead Giants defeated the Roanoke B. B. C. by the scores of 4 to 2, 10 to 5 and 10 to 9, the last game going for twelve innings before the contest could be decided. The first game was featured by the wonderful pitching of Geo. Henderson of Charlottesville, recently signed by Manager Carr. Henderson allowed but three singles. In the second battle, with Las Barker on the mound for the visitors were easy pickings. Parker never having cause to extend himself. Leroy-Wingo pitched the last game for locals and had his game won when in the 90th inning he weakened, throwing wild to first base for the last out thereby allowing the visitors to tie the score. Parker played in and held the *e*'sisters cafe. This game lasted twelve innings, the Giants finally winning. It was the snappiest game witnessed on the locals ground in many years. Burton, Watkins, Howard and Henderson played great ball for the Giants. Record crowds attended the series Manager Carr hopes to hear from the Brooklyn Slides this week. BINGHAMTON, N.
