The cordial welcome extended the delegates by the white and colored citizens of Chattanooga was one of the features of the session. Among those to bade the visitors welcome on the opening day was Gov. Tom C. Rye, who was heartily applauded when he said that if it came to the place that he could not be governor of all the people in the State of Tennessee he would resum from office. He praised the loyalty of the Negro and paid a tribute to the memory of the late Booker T. Washington. in his efforts to the uplift of his people, the elevation of the lowly. Dr. R. M. Moton and Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul General, Baltimore, Md., were the principal speakers Thursday evening at the Court House Auditorium, addressing the largest audience to see the man who successfully filling the shoes of Booker T. Washington, who was introduced by Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute and secretary of the league. In discussing "The Negro Migration," Dr. Moton said that while various estimates had been made as to the number of Negroes that have gone North in the past eighteen months, he was of the opinion that 300,000 is more nearly correct. He urged that the representatives of both races get together and openly discuss the race question, saying: "I don't believe the southern white people were ever more open to suggestions and to co-operation on the race question as they are today, and I would suggest that in every community the Negro leaders would confer with the leading white people, seeking their cooperation along the lines as I have in direcited. This whole situation must be in a sober, unselfish spirit—a spirit to help the Negro and to help the country. There is a platform upon which Major Jesse M. Littleton also praised the loyalty of the Negro in the present crisis and referred to the changes time had wrought and the fast decreasing prejudice against the Negro declaring that throughout the country conditions were getting better. J. Read Weight, representing the Chamber of Commerce, pointed out the possibilities for remendous service, the league can render to the race and the nation. Prof. W. H. Singleton, principal of the Boward High School, Mrs Hattie R. Jackson, H. D. Alexander, also dedicated addresses of welcome. Response to the welcome addresses was made by Charles H. Brooks of Philadelphia. The eighteenth annual session of the league was called to order Wednesday morning by G. W. Franklin of Chattanooga, at the Lyric Theatre, which was well-filled with delegates from every section of the country. A large chorus, made up of local singers under the direction of Prof. A. G. King, rendered vocal selections. Pruyer was offered by the Rey, C. A. Bell, pastor of the First Baptist Church. Scott Bond, the wealthy farmer of Madison, Ark., John T. Frazie of Auburn, Ala., and S. Cooke of theocheut Oaklin spoke on farming. Pruyer told how he managed his large farm and how it had been obtained. From the sixty-acre tract of land which his wife, a tribal girl, owned as an allotment, on which there are now twenty-one oil wells, turning out 108 barrels of oil to a day, he has been able to pay cash for a 625-acre farm, worth $50,000. President's Annual Address. President Napier delivered his annual address Wednesday evening at the Lyric Theatre where every available inch of space was taken. Mr. Napier spoke of Booker T. Washington's efforts to bring about a better feeling among the races, saying in part: "Emancipation had brought physical freedom to the slavery but effects of centuries of slavery still clung to him. A combination of circumstances and events had placed him in a peculiar situation. If, after emancipation had come, a spirit of friendship and helpfulness had been inspired and cultivated between ex-slave and ex-master both would have been in a different temper adjust the new conditions and in which the sound of negroes. It was just Booker T. Washington came upon the scene that this propaganda was set out and began to be promoted. He realized from the beginning that there could never be any real progress in either when two races dwelt in one land ready always to fly at the throat of each other. "Like the lowly Nazarene, he saw his work, realized the enormity of it, threw his whole being into it, nor did he rest until nature gave way and his God called him to his reward for his devotion and faithfulness to the cause of humanity, to his country and his race. The heritage left by him to his race exists in a betterment of the condition of every individual member there. Either directly or indirectly his work has in one way or another had the effect of not only raising and elevating everyone with whom he came in contact, but many who have never seen the head of him have been inspired with boltly ideals, have been raised to a higher standard of civilization, to a greater degree of usefulness. "He was the friend of all. He knew nothing but to love his fellowmen, even for those who reviled and hated him those who misunderstood and misrepresented his aims and methods, those who never allowed an opportunity to pass to place him in a false light before his fellowman and the country, he never was known to utter a word of abuse or rude reproach. He was always too hard to understand." VOE7XXX No. 48 in his efforts for the uplift of his people, the elevation of the lowly." Dr. R. R. Moton and Dr. Ernest Lyon, Liberian Consul General, Baltimore, Md., were the principal speakers Thursday evening at the Court House Auditorium, addressing the largest audience of the session. Many were curious to see the man who is successfully filling the shoes of Booker T. Washington, who was introduced by Emmett J. "Scott," secretary of Tuskegee Institute and secretary of the league. In discussing "The Negro Migration," Dr. Moton said that while various estimates had been made as to the number of Negroes that have gone North in the past eighteen months, he was of the opinion that 300,000 is more nearly correct. He urged that the representatives of both races get together and openly discuss the race question, saying: "We don't have more than white people ever more open on suggestions and to co-operation on the race question as they are today, and I would suggest that in every community the Negro leaders would confer with the leading white people, seeking their cooperation along the lines as I have indicated. This whole situation must be met in a sober, unselfish spirit—a spirit to help the Negro and to help the country. There is a platform upon which every one of us can stand and mutually work—for the good of man, the honor of our country and the glory of God." Dr. Lyon, in speaking of Liberia, said the funds of the little republic are depleted, its transportation funds crippled and the country is altogether in a bad state. Resolutions offered by Dr. Robert E. Jones, editor of the Southwestern Christian Abvocare, were unanimously adopted requesting that the President of the United States appoint a commission to inquire into the condition of American citizens abiding in Liberia. League Adopts Resolutions. Resolutions deploring the death of Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, and John E. Bush, second vice-president of the league, resolutions calling attention to the splendid co-operation given National Negro Health Week and resolutions thanking the citizens and press for kindly consideration shown, were unanimously passed. Other speakers Thursday were Fred C. Gassett, Cartersville; Ga.; A. L. Garrett, Fayetteville, N. C.; W. P. Ware, Somerville, Tenn.; Clinton J Callaway, Tuskegee Institute; Dr. J W. E. Bowen, Atlanta; F. M. Fitch, Winston-Salem, N. C.; T. K. Gibson, Atlanta and J. C. Lindsay, secretary of the Georgia State Negro Business League and T. Clay Moore, Nashville Reports from the National Negro Press Association, the National Negro Bar Association and the Negro Bankers' Association by Henry Allen Boyd, Berry W. Howard and B. M. Roddy, respectively. At the closing session of the meeting on Friday, Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune, principal of the Girls' Training School at Daytona, Fla., interestingly told how she founded her institution and its rise and Daniel. Freeman, representing the United States Government in the food conservation campaign, were the principal speakers. Friday evening the delegates and visitors were guests of the Chattanooga Business League at the National Guard Armory, which also was attended by representative members of the race inattentionoga and vicinity. Dr. W. A. Thompson acted as toastmaster. Among those who spoke were: Dr. N. D. Shambrorguer, pastor of Wiley Memorial Church, Chattanooga, on "Opportunities!" Webster L. Porter, Knoxville, on "The Press," Perry W. Howard, Jackson, Miss., "Our Professional men;" T. Clay Moore, "Our Professional men;" Mrs. Mary D. Talbert, Buffalo, "Our Women," and President C. J. Napier, Nashville, "The National Negro Business League." This year's session at Chattianoga was full of inspiration. Nearly two hundred members of the league were present. About four thousand persons attended the meetings, the attendance at the session Thursday morning at Umbrella - Rock, Lookout Mountain, having been kept down on account rain. Robert - Clay, Clay - Mrs. Mrs. Clay, leader of Brixton, Tenn., rendered guest Members of the league gave $410 to the Frederick Douglass Memorial Fund and $35 to the Girl's Training School, Daytona, Fla.

Zion Church wish to thank THE NEW YORK AGE for its co-operation in advertising the camp meeting.

The officers of the church report that there were $346.81 raised at the camp EIGHTH ILLINOIS UNIT NOW IN TEXAS (Special to The New York Times) CHICAGO, ILL. —The departure of Company G of the Eighth Illinois for Houston, Texas, last Saturday refutes the reports published in the daily press unanimating from Washington, D. C., several days ago that no colored troops would be sent South because of the opposition of white residents of southern cities. The unit left from the Dearborn Street Station and the soldiers were given a great send-off. They boarded a big train made up of dusty sleepers, baggage cars and a mule car which bore placards bearing the following inscription: "The Chicago-Berlin Express." The company left the armory at East 35th street and Forest avenue amid the booming of drums and tooting of horns. Headed by Capt. George Allen, the boys in brown were cheered to the echo as they marched. Many of the soldiers carried flowers, gifts of female admirers. Company G is the last Chicago unit to go to Houston, having gone to prepare for the other companies of the Eighth, which is officered by Negroes from Colonel down. Col. Franklin M. Denison is head of the regiment. FIFTEENTH REGIMENT DOING QUARD NINET The Fifteenth Regiment has left Camp Whitman and the units are getting valuable experience, guarding muni- tion plants and railroads. The headquarters of the regiment are at 120 Broadway, where Col. Hayward spends much of his time. The headquarters and supply companies are at 191 Harrison street, Brooklyn Company B, Capt Fillmore, captain, is filling a number of posts. Seventy men are doing guard duty at the armory, Seventh avenue and 132nd street; thirty-four are at Erie Basin under Leut Reid, whole some members of the Company are at Poughkeepsie and other towns up-State. The machine gun company is doing creditable work at Ellis Island. The Second Battalion, composed of Companies C, F, G, and H are at the Government cantonment at Yaphank, N. while the Third Battalion, composed of Companies I, K, L, and N are at the Government cantonment at Wrightstown, N. J., where the crack regimental band is also stationed. Companies A and D are at Harrison, N. J., and Company C is stationed at Alhoya. Col Hayward is receiving flattering reports about his men. The officials at Ellis Island, in particular, have spoken in high praise of the machine gun company. NEW JERSEY STATE GUARD TO HAVE NEGRO TROOPS (Special to THE NEW YORK AOK) SEA Gurt, N. J. - Negro troops will be included in the State guard being formed for riot duty and service in other public disorder. Authorized for the raising of two platoons of twenty-five men each at Jersey City and a similar number at Atlantic City was sent out to-day by Governor Edge. The colored troops will be additional to the 2,500 contemplated in the original plan for the State militia. The original apportionment of county quotas will not be affected by the increase in the strength of the State guard. The Negro soldiers will be the first colored men included in the military establishment of the State. Success attained by Public Service Commissioner Hayward, New York in recruiting the Fifteenth New York infantry and record of Negro troops in the regular army were considerations that led to the decision. COLORED COMPANY DE-TACHED FROM REGIMENT (Special to The New York Age) BOSTON, MASS.—Company L. of the Sixth Massachusetts Infantry, the only colored company in the Massachusetts National Guard that passed into Federal service, will not go South with the other units of the regiment, but has been sent to the Watertown Arsenal for guard duty. It has been detached for regiment until further orders. The order of detachment, it is believed, means the company is passing out of the Sixth Infantry for all time. The reason for not sending it with the other companies is said to be due to the policy of keeping colored soldiers out of the South. The company has been with the Sixth Massachusetts Infantry for forty years.

The city is in gala attire and the visitors are being royally received on every hand. As $2,500 will be distributed in prizes to the successful contestants in the various drills, rivalry between competing Pythians of the uniformed rank is keen. One of the features of the Supreme Lodge session was the report Wednesday of Supreme Chancellor S. W. Green, showing the growth and resources of the order. Its membership now numbers over 105,383, and total financial resources placed at $1,553,-895.63.

Tuesday evening when he led a parade several photons of -reservoirs, headed by the Metropolitan Life Insurance Band, through the streets of the Harlem section. Mission of Harlem for colored chefs for the Navy was not very productive. Had inducements been made for Negroes to become regular seamen, results might have been different. It is said that many hundred chefs are wanted for temporary duty in the Navy. NAVY MEN PARADE FOR NEGRO Following is the statement submitted by the Supreme Chancellor from official reports received showing the growth and financial resources of the order exclusive of the grand jurisdictions of Alabama, District of Columbia and Missouri: Number of lodges, July 1, 1915, 2,861; number of lodges, July 1, 1917, 2,806; decrease for the two years, 45; number of members, July 1, 1915, 94,021; number of members, July 1, 1917, 105,383; TO DRAFT NEGROES FOR FARM WORK TO DRAFT NEGROES FOR FARM WORK (Special to The New York Age) WASHINGTON, D. C.—It is reported that Negroes throughout the South who are anxious to fight in the United States Army in the present world war are greatly exercised over the talk of Negro conscripts being drafted to work on the farm. That the officials at Washington are seriously considering the feasibility of such a step, was made known recently in despatches to southern newspapers, which told of the War Department approving the suggestion of Major Gen. Wood that an area of from 120 to 150 acres be set aside at each cantonment for the intensive cultivation of vegetables by troops "especially fitted" for that work. The despatch further stated that such a scheme, it was believed, would help solve the race problem at the various camps, inferring that by putting Negro conscripts to growing vegetables would please rabid southerners who oppose the bringing together of white and colored soldiers in the same cantonment. Some profess to see the reason the Government singled out its colored citizens by making reference on the registration card to those of "African descent." increase for the two years, 11,362.

Value of property owned by grand lodges, $508,798.90; value of property owned by Supreme Lodge, $70,000 value of property owned by subordinate lodges, $473,374.83. EMPLOYMENT AGENCIES TO AID IN CONSCRIPTION Because of the many anonymous letters received and the unexpectedly large number of exemptions in Harlem on the ground that wives are entirely dependent upon husbands for support, Local Board No. 140 of which Ralph E. Langston is chairman, has secured the co-operation of the various employment agencies, which have promised to give married women work. The board this week sent the following communication to a large number of employment agencies: You are hereby requested to give such information as you possess concerning employment given by your office during the year 1917 to any woman whose name appears on the enclosed lists. Please give this matter your immediate attention. (Signed) RALPH E. LANGSTON, Chairman. In the majority of instances the employment agencies in question promised to give women sent by the board preference. DROWNED AT YAPHANK Private Färrell of Company G, 15th Infantry, was drowned in a pond near the old Mill at Yaphank late Saturday evening, having met death in an automobile accident with three white soldiers. The men were out riding on a motor truck when it plunged over the bridge into the water. EAST ST. LOUIS RIOTER IS GIVEN FIVE YEARS (Special to THE NEW YORK ACE) BILDEVILLE JILL-S. L. Schulz, who was one of the 105 persons indicted here in connection with the East St. Louis race riots, was brought into the Circuit Court from Mount Carmel, Ill., Saturday, and pleaded guilty. He was sentenced to five years imprisonment. The National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, has been conducting an investigation with a view to ascertaining what impression Negro labor is making with white business men who now employ both white and colored people. The answers received from the heads of the respective firms have been particularly encouraging, most of the employers speaking in complimentary terms of the records made by Negro help. In several instances white employees objected to working with colored people, but they either obeyed the instructions of their employers or were discharged. The league carried on the investigation by supplying each firm with a statement slip containing a series of printed questions. The report of a rug company in East 131st street, where colored girls are employed, contained the following information: Question—"How are the girls going along?" Answer—"Very well." Question—"Do the girls show interest as the white?" Answer—"You question—"Have they as much stamina Answer—"Yes." Question—"What impression do you get of their home conditions by the way they come to work?" Answer—"Not interested in that. Only concern is that they work and work satisfactorily." Question—"How many girls do you employ?" Answer—"About twelve or fourteen." Question—"How do they get along with the white?" Answer—"All right." Question—"Have you the knowledge of any other manufacturer who you could recommend and who would be likely to use colored help?" Answer—"I do not know of any in my line." Question—"Will you continue to use colored girls?" Answer—"As long as they give me the satisfaction they have I will." The gist of the report made by the owner of a silk mill in West 140th street, where four hundred colored girls are employed, that was that they show capability in their work, take interest in it, and the firm is satisfied with the experiment of hiring colored help. The chief fault found with the girls was that they made bad time in the mornings, while others show a tendency to lay off in the afternoons. In the wake of a wist factory in 131st street reports that the twenty colored girls do not evince as much interest in their work as the white girls they show the same ability, one young woman making $18 weekly, while another has not earned less than $12 a week for ten months. In answering the question: "How do the colored girls get on with the white girls?" the proprietor makes the following reply: "I make them get on. I fired a white girl not long ago because her mother asked if she could not be changed on a machine so as not to work with colored girls." The head of this firm stated he was very much satisfied with colored help and saw no reason why any other manufacturer should not use colored girls. The representative of a firm on Canal street furnished the information that the firm is at present employing four colored girls, one an accomplished stenographer; that they work regularly and more will be used next year when the plant is 'enlarged. In a thriving city in Northern New York a big firm, according to the report, had one Negro in its employ on June 1, 1916; now it is working 250 colored men who are giving more satisfactory service than Poles or Hungarians. Most of the help is from Georgia and North Carolina and a few from the West Indies. The men work regularly, show the amateur interest and stamina as white help and when they want a day off ask for it instead of staying a home without notice as foreign help do. They are advanced accordingly and there is no friction between the races. All are treated alike and the manager says he would not get rid of the colored men for any other people.

Scotland, well known as a justice of the peace and now document clerk in the County Clerk's office, recently received a letter from John George Russell, of the British West Indian Regiment now attached to the East African Fighting Force in German East Africa. Among other things the writer says: "I went to France in August, 1915; fought at the Battle of Loos, was gassed, and sent home to England. As soon as I got O. K. again I was packed off to Egypt and had a grand time of it, seeing all the old historical sights in Cairo and around. I went into action on the Suez Canal; got wounded in the left leg. Back again to hospital at Alexandra. "As soon as I got all right I was sent out here' (German East Africa), now nine months' ago. Of course I have had some pretty narrow shaves out here. But up to the present I am safe. This is the worst country and most unhealthy part of the globe, the worst part of the globe, fever, dysentery and all sorts of diseases out her—and then the Germans to be out under. "After a battle, at night, all the wild beasts congregate around our camp by scenting the human blood. They prowl around—animals such as lions, tigers, hyenas, leopards—and they have carried off four of our men already. Of course this does not frequently occur to units. I am now an officer, with a command in an African regiment. We have just marched 100 miles in two days and twenty-three hours, and we are forcing it to get into action, as we eager every time to "strafe" the Germans. These African boys have no mercy on them.

C.—After evading officers for about ten days Reuben Bailey, a young white man of the Barton's Creek section of Wake County, has been placed in jail without bail upon a charge of housebreaking and criminal assault upon Mrs. Cora Winston, a colored woman. The double crime against the young man, it is alleged, occurred August 7 and his arrest followed an escape from Deputy Nipper shortly after the crime occurred. Bailey was en route to Raleigh with the deputy sheriff, when he jumped from the buggy and hid in the tall timbers. He gave himself up. Bailey is charged with going to the Negro woman's home, forcing an entrance into the house through the front door by removing a latch and criminally assaulting her in the presence of Mrs. Winston's two young children. The young man is well connected and has many friends in Barton's Creek township, where the charge has created much interest. *Special to AL KAHM JACKSON* *COLUMBIA, S.

The following item published in the Charleston News and Courier will shed some light on the intentions of the War Department, so far as utilizing the services of Negroes drafted into the service is concerned: The War Department has approved the suggestion of Major Gen. Leonard Wood, U. S. A. commanding the Southeastern Department, that an area of from 120 to 150 acres he set aside at each cantonment for the intensive cultivation of vegetables by troops who are "especially fitted" for that work. It is believed that this will help to solve the race problem at the various camps. Ever since the device of the "torn corner" of the card denoting the conscript to be of African descent was revealed, some such method of segregating that element of the national forces was to be looked for. But it was hardly to be expected that General Leonard Wood would be set up as the father of the idea. It may have been wished upon him, on he may have evolved it from his experience in Cuba. It is ominous in the construction put upon it "to help solve the race problem at the various camps." Does this mean that all Negroes, regardless of their former training or present fitness for farming, are to be segregated as "especially fitted for the intensive cultivation of vegetables," and thus be removed from training with or proximity to the white troops in the same cantonment? Or does it mean that the cultivation of vegetables is to form a part of the duties of the forces in training, upon the basis of fitness for the work, without the drawing of any color line, and to be accepted as part of the burden of the war, the same as digging trenches and drilling? There has been too much discrimination on account of color in the army already. If more of it is to be attempted in the effort to cater to the South, it can only be productive of evil results. There would be no race problem to solve at the various camps, if a square deal was given and discipline maintained. THE BOERS OF AFRICA. When the British conquered Oom Paul and took over the Boers' country as part of British South Africa, it was hoped that a more liberal policy would prevail in the treatment of the oppressed society that territory. But as the Boers have regained through politics nearly all that they lost through war, the state of the natives does not appear to be much improved. The latest oppression put upon them is by means of a bill for the administration of Native affairs, by which their power to hold land is restricted as to virtually deprive them of their present holdings and remove them from the soil completely. The only South African of Dutch extraction who voted against the bill, defined it in the following terms, according to the South African Native Opinion: At present there was a Location act which pressed pretty severely upon the natives, but it was considered a necessary act and was the law of the country. The present bill, however, was a hundred times more severe and would deprive the natives of any chance of living on farms under present conditions. The immediate effect would be to drive the natives into the towns where there were far too many natives already. 'The bill simply would, mean that the natives could be servants and servants only and hundreds of natives would be rendered homeless. What was going to happen to them? British rule among the natives of South and West Africa has not always been characterized by equity and justice, but it seems that the Boers have not learned moderation since their defeat. It needs the restraining hand of Great. Britain to curb their oppression of the natives. AT THE WHITE HOUSE GATES. The ever growing tendency of a certain element of the population to resort to mob law upon the slightest provocation was strikingly illustrated last week in the attacks upon the woman suffragists in Washington. These women have been picketing the White House grounds for many weeks, displaying banners with inscriptions intended to influence the President into advocating votes for women. The good taste and expediency of some of the inscriptions displayed by these militant suffragettes, as they are known, have been questionable. At all events much bad feeling has been aroused and disorder provoked among the spectators of their performance. The arrest and sentencing of a number of the women to the workhouse on the charge of disorderly conduct a few weeks ago was one of the incidents of their campaign. Undeterred by this the women resumed their picketing with banners, with more obnoxious inscriptions. The onlookers registered their disapproval of the sentiments displayed by destroying the banners. A special dispatch to the New-York Times describes an incident of turmoil as follows: When William Bayard Hale, former special envoy to Mexico, standing at the west gate, started to sympathize with Miss Katherine Morey of Boston, whose banner had been seized by the crowd, he was set upon by sailors. "You'd better keep out of this," yelled Hale, as a sailor began to push him along. A jeer came from the crowd. Mr. Hale turned to get away, some of the crowd making a path for him. But as he moved along some of the men turned upon him, giving him a bad jostling that sent him reeling. "Eventually Mr. Hale was allowed to proceed after somebody in the crowd shouted "Hang him up!" The cry of lynchers, "Hang him up!" resounding within hearing of the White House. It should bring home to the country and to the Government the necessity for the sternest repression of the mob spirit wherever it crops out. "VIGILANTES" IN·NEW YORK The police inspector who told the new organization of "Vigilantes" that "it is dangerous for any body of citizens to usurp the burden of government," enunciated a great truth. While the purpose of the "Vigilantes," as announced, is, laudable enough, namely the suppression of sedi tious street speakers, it is a mat- Last week we commented on a letter written to the New Republic by Mr. Bolton Smith of Memphis, regarding the certainty of the guilt of Ell Person. Mr. Smith's letter took up not only the question of Person's guilt, but the whole race question in the South. Indeed, fully one-half of his communication was a general consideration of the race problem. I shall now comment on some of the things said in that latter part of the letter, and for these reasons: Mr. Smith, although a bit of Southern birth, has lived in the South for thirty-five years, and is an integral and influential part of the business and, social life of Memphis; this makes what he says worth considering because it sheds a light upon enlightened Southern opinion on the race question. Furthermore, I wish to be fair to Mr. Smith, and not leave The Age readers under the impression that he either sanctioned or condoned the Memphis crime. In his letter to the New Republic, he went on to speak about the crimes of rape and lynching as follows: Again, if "we have beats in human shape amongst us," to quote one of our papers—the question may be asked, "Whose fault is it?" If they are cared with liquor or cocaine, it will be found that these were sold by a white man. If the beastliness is inercidable the place for such a person is in a colony for defectives such as that at Vineland, N. J. In most cases the right sort of education for useful life will prove an all-sufficient remedy. I have never heard of a case of rape by a Negro possessing any education at all. It is in the darkness of a mind deprived of any participation in the life and hope of the world that such thoughts are born and matured. But a people who lynch Negroes are not likely to provide for them improved education—so that, in effect, the two methods for lessening Negro crime cannot be used simultaneously. The main truth to be extracted from the above paragraph is that black rupists, just like white rupists, are men far below the lowest average. The worst calumny that our detractors ever attempted to fasten on us is that we are a race of rupists. The attempt has even been made to show there was a proportionate relation between this crime and the increase in education. But here is the voluntary testimony of a well informed man who has lived for more than thirty-five years in the heart of the darkest South, declaring that he never heard of a case of rape by a Negro possessing any education at all. He might have added truthfully that rape is a more common crime among whites than among blacks and among the former is, usually a more fiendish deed. He might also have mentioned the fact that cases of rape furnish only a small fraction of the "causes" for the lynching of Negroes. The following paragraph indicates that Mr. Smith has given some thought to the race question in its broadest sense: Perhaps the race question is the world problem most difficult of solution—which will threaten the peace of the world even after all others are eliminated. If we consider the South a laboratory where a solution may be sought, we can realize the importance of intelligent treatment—and yet our policy is one of thrift—pure and simple. He is entirely correct in his surmise; the race question is one that will threaten the peace of the world, if the white race continues in its arrogance to act as though all darker races were here only to serve its purpose. It is folly to think that the darker races, that big majority of the earth's population, are going to submit forever to the sort of treatment the white race now subjects them to. The great war has been an eye-opener, and the darker peoples looking on have learned their lesson. He goes on to probe deeper into the race problem in the South in fact, deeper than most men. Southern or Northern, dare to go: The South looks askance on Negro improvement because she is afraid it will promote the amalgamation of the two races. But for this apprehension the same spirit which in a former generation produced the northern abolitionist would now bring forth a greater number of southern men sexually interested in the welfare of the Negro. In justification of her apprehension the South points to the fact that wherever a lower and a higher race have lived in the same territory they have become completely blended. But this mixing has occurred outside of the marriage tie and this suggests that the path of safety may be found through the spread of education and morality—rather than in the direction of oppression and lynch law. Here we have a confession that what the South fears is that if the Negro is accorded just treatment and fair opportunity, his improvement will be such as to bring about the amalgamation of the two races. We are afraid that this confession from Mr.-Smith is ities. A body of "Vigilantes" is credited with the lawless hanging of an unpopular labor leader in Montana, and the next lynching party in the South can be expected to assume that title to cover their lawlessness. The grounds upon which it was decided that a Vigilante should make an arrest were: (3) Any statement denouncing Government action in sending troops abroad. It must in fairness be admitted that the new organization started its delicate task with discretion. The members refrained from attempting to make arrests at first and merely reported the instances of seditious speech noted. May they exercise equal discretion in the future and invoke the law and not the mob in the fulfillment of their mission. One prison sentence is reported as the result of a plea of guilty made by one of the 105 persons indicted in connection with the --- East St. Louis massacre. The sentence was five years for inciting to riot for one S. L. Shulz. The haste of the accused to make this plea indicates a desire to escape trial on a more serious charge, probably murder. The murderers of East St. Louis should not be allowed to evade the full penalty of their crimes by pleading to minor degrees of culpability. The full rigors of the law should be enforced. The Amalgamated Clothing Makers, a labor organization, recently complained of the conditions under which army uniforms were being made. Sweatshop work at less than union rates and unsanitary surroundings were some of the accusations. The final count, however, was that "white girls and women are being replaced by Negroes who are untrained and unskilled." It is unfortunate that organized labor seldom omits an opportunity to raise the bars on account of color. More sympathy would be felt for the cause if an "open door" policy prevailed. going to bring down upon his head the criticism and wrath of many of his fellow southrons. And yet, why should it? Every legislator who helped to put the anti-intermarriage laws on the statute books of the Southern states has tacitly made the same confession. In the face of this confession and those confessions, we ask, what becomes of the oft quoted doctrines of "innate inferiority," "natural aversion," "crime against God and nature," "great gulf fixed by God from the creation of the world," etc., etc.? The closing paragraph of this rather remarkable letter is well worth quoting: Fortunately, perhaps, for all of us, the emigration of the Negroes to the North bids fair to reach such proportions that magazines published in the North may soon open their pages to the discussion of the race question even when not moved thereto by a lynching. We cannot save the world for democracy unless we show our faith in justice at home. If we do not establish justice where we have the power to do so how can we expect others to believe our promises as to matters not yet in our control? Here Mr. Smith brings out a new thought on the migration of the Negro to the North; suggesting that it may result in making the settlement of the race problem a national rather than a sectional question. The last two sentences breathe a broad spirit. Indeed, they contain the secret of the solution. And it is so simple that it ought not be called a secret. It is nothing more or less than simple justice. A NICKNAME FOR THE SOLDIERS. A good deal of printers ink- pended in trying to find a popular France. A great many names ha- ents to the newspapers.

His whole makeup spells his name "Tommy Atkins." There is where the mysteriousity of the name lies. Do you suppose for the War Office had decided to use "Ezekiel Brud," that the British soldiers would have been that name? Is no reason why the American soldiers should insults." If they are called by any nickname, already universal name is "Yankee." Our son were called "The Yankees." The colored skinned Yankees' by the Spaniards. But theington would undoubtedly object to Southern a whole being known as "Yankees." Let nobody worry. Nicknames are not A good deal of printers ink and silly sentiment has been expended in trying to find a popular name for the American soldiers in France. A great many names have been suggested by correspondents to the newspapers. Most of the newspapers have united to make "Sammy" popular, but word has recently come from the other side that the soldiers positively resent being called "Sammies." Other names are being constantly suggested. Some one has proposed "Johnny Yanks," a compromise between "Johnny Rebs" and "Yankees" of Civil War days. Somebody else proposes "Liberty Boys," and there are many other names being put forward. More effort and publicity has been put behind "Sammy" than any of the others; but aside from the fact that the soldiers themselves do not like the name, it has failed to strike the public favorably. "Sammy" was supposed to be a term that would be suitable and would hit because of its diminutive relation to "Uncle Sam." There is also no doubt that it was suggested by the universally accepted name for the English soldier "Tommy" or "Tommy Atkins." Now, you can christen a boy anything you like. You may bestow upon him a plebeian "John William" or an aristocratic "Percival Reginald," but a nickname is never the result of prearranged formality. The boy who is christened "Percival Reginald Smith" may go to school and be dubbed "Red," and known to his friends as "Red" Smith for the balance of his life. A nickname is often acquired in an unaccountable and mysterious way. It is never done with premeditation aforethought. A man can't even give himself a nickname. It has been tried. Many a man has wanted to be known among his friends by some particular nickname, but couldn't make it stick unless there was that mysterious spontaneity in it which is back of all,popular and endearing nicknames. And just a nickname can't be voluntarily pasted on a fellow; neither can it be scraped off, once it is on. The boy who goes to school and achieves the distinction of "Red" Smith, will never be able to get rid of the "Red" as long as he lives. But, back to the soldiers. Take "Tommy Atkins." The English people didn't make up their minds that their soldiers should have a pet name, and then pick out Tommy Atkins for them. The name was first used by the British War Office to fill in the specimen form of a manual distributed throughout the army, in which details concerning each man were to be entered. It was used in about the same manner in which "John Doe" is used in court proceedings. The name struck the fancy of the English people and the British soldier is universally known as "Tommy Atkins." And there is a reason. The British soldier in his natty uniform—not the slouchy khaki uniform of war time—his little skull cap stuck on one side of his head, and swinging his swagger stick as he walks about the streets of any English city or colonial town, is indeed a military dandy. His whole makeup spells his name in large letters, "Tommy Atkins." There is where the mysterious secret of the popularity of the name lies. Do you suppose for a moment, if the British War Office had decided to use "Ezekiel Brown" in the forms it issued, that the British soldiers would have been known universally by that name? There is no reason why the American soldiers should be known as "Sammies." If they are called by any nickname abroad, the natural and already universal name is "Yankee." Our soldiers in the Spanish war were called "The Yankees." The colored soldiers were dubbed "Smoked Yankees" by the Spaniards. But the powers that be at Washington would undoubtedly object to Southern soldiers or the army as a whole being known as "Yankees." However, let nobody worry. Nicknames are not made, they just happen. BEST PAPER HE EVER READ. To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: Please find enclosed my renewal of the best colored paper I have ever read and oblige.

To the Editor of THE NEW YORK AGE: I am writing these few thoughts on the day that commemorates the 70th anniversary of the birth of the Republic of Liberia, on the West Coast of Africa. Our brethren in Liberia need succor. May it not be one of the ways appointed by God to bless the people of color in these United States through aid and we shall give to our own helpless men. At any rate, it will not involve anyone in our part to follow a single plan which shall very hastily sketch, but, which, it followed, will mean so punch for our brethren across the sea.

What marvels has God wrought among the people of African descent during that period? All of us must realize this. All of us ought to feel grateful way down in our hearts to the great and good God who has done such great things for us. And we ought to translate all this into some one, simple, and amused act, which will be to His glory as well as to the welfare of the most needy of our own flesh and blood. Now, my simple suggestion is this: In every state in this union, in the chief city of that State, let at least one clergyman, representing each of the religious organizations of that State; one teacher; one representative, each, of all of the professions, assemble and organize a central state league. The work of this state' central league should be, in the simplest manner possible, to organize in each community of that particular state, that in each such community, a "thank offering" of one dollar each, may be collected from every minister of the gospel of every creed; from every school teacher, and from every Negro professional man, of whatever character. In addition to this, each minister contributing his dollar should, at the same time, be requested, in his own way, to solicit from his people whatever he may be disposed to give such a worthy object. While, for encouragement of one another, in the united effort, report by states could possibly be made; as to the amounts the Hon. Ernest Lyon, presenting the Liberia government this country yet, the varying state committees should correspond directly with His Excellency, President Howard, of the Republic of Liberia, and transmit to him directly the "Jubilee Offering" of the people of the particular state. Let each state have all the glory it may desire. If ever Liberia needed, our help, NOW is the time. Unless 'some better plan is suggested, I most earnestly commend to the thoughtful, and benevolently disposed of the race, a trial of the simple plan, which, necessarily, I have hastily sketched. GEORGE F. BRAGG, JR. Baltimore, Md. TUSKEGEE COURSE IN AGRICULTURE TUSKEGEE INSTITUTE, ALA—Booker T. Washington preached farming, living on the farm, growing more products; indeed becoming independent through farming. Three food specialists and the whole world began to take the same people. What the New York state government abroad, he sought to practice at home. He always maintained a flourishing garden. Indeed one on his pastures when we were home, was tasting the same fruits and vegetables tables from his own garden. He kept bengee, ducks, all kinds of fowls and allowed nobody to gather the eggs but himself, he fed these himself. Doing the first thing himself, he insisted that the Agriculture Department of his school should be involved in agricultural activities. It is only in these trying days that the Tuskegee Institute farm appreciates this initiative in our quality farming. Seeing this initiative in practice, the department of Agriculture of the Booster T. Washington school is driving in the spurs, to international studies in each of its programs, to the development of very practical and attractive to turn out leaders in community and stale farming equipment for the purpose. A three-story agricultural building, with class rooms, office rooms, assembly rooms, farm laboratories, agricultural common in the South, except outdoor, a tree garden raising every variety of foodstuff; an outdoor variety of the best breeds of pigs; a dairy farm the leading breeds of cattle; a horse barn with mules and horses; a poultry yard; a cattle barn with animals; an experiment station with cute of animals; an experiment station with fills ills and cure of plants—these make up the great laboratory in which to train the NEGRO girl as scientific and practical farmers. The course of study covers a period of four years. In a broad way, it gives plant study three and four. Beginning with the junior class the students of the Agricultural Department spend one half of each day except Saturday in the study and practice of agriculture, and the other half of each day is dedicated of all farming, namely, plant and animal life, the Department of Agriculture gives the subjects and the phases of subjects by grades and teachers, and the student. While pursuing academic subjects which correspond roughly to the seventh grade the junior class studies in agriculture, soils and fertilizers, livestock, farm crops and agricultural sciences, the second half year, adding dairy to the second half Along with the routine work there are three sources of inspiration for the student in the classroom: the university's emblem of all classes in the department, gathering in the assembly room of the Milk Institute, instructors confer on various agricultural problems and discussions, listen to inspirational lectures by outside men and by experts in the field, and study the problems are not always men from the schools, but are men and women who have made the reputation as practical farmers and farm women who are, studying a few weeks side-by-side with the students—studying the two months' course in soils and plants or in animal products, which the department is offering. To these individual cases are added what if years a haem been known at the Short Course in agriculture a great inspiration as well as much knowledge in agriculture. The student sees men and women in locality; with all sorts of food, prejudice and injustice against them, they are taught to defend themselves and wealth from the enemy. This is hegged on to reason that if such a man a 40-year successed in spite of ignorance and poverty, he would be able to many branches of the subject and harter the knowledge of the business of farming, the chemistry of the soil and an acquaintance with the science. Reverting to his specific training in agriculture, the student finds his work set out in practice in diversified areas and then uses it in the productive departments of the school to increase his efficiency. Thus in the study of daring he learns to use the figure of the animal, the productive departments of the school, the horns, the mouth, the chest, the trunk, the udders. He learns to body a dairy cow from the figure of the animal, how to heat it to get the milk; how to feed it in various seasons to get the most milk; how to handle it in handling knowledge to this end; how to handle it in common use. He learns what kind of food is best for milk production, what a best for butter or cream, what is best for milk of a certain kind of knowledge to this end; how to handle it in school's large dairy farm of farms or more or less to apply on a large scale what he has seen in a sort of clay form laboratory with the farm, with the farm crops, with fruit trees with working, studying intensely divided cheese, then applying his knowledge to a student as a diploma he must pass one more course in a course in work on the farm. All the things this far, though on a large scale. The student must pass the test in an artificial situation. Thus he can gain his diploma by the artificial situation he completed twelve months before the school or farm on some far or plantation in applied the school. This with the teacher the school work pursued by all his students the school work is hoped to be in a measure what the Washburn eagerly wished for all such students. He trained farmer, an intelligent livestock man, a farmer, and a rural commerce leader in builder. Age Won't Matter Then.

However the conservative element claimed that it had been unable to study throughout the city and county studying the conditions in a same and significant way to secure entry to the party council, and win the confidence of the white Republicans before Negroes will ever be able to elect one member on primary or general ticket. The radical element, on the other hand, say it is not time to be intimidated by promises and threats, and attacks by the Republican County Committee (White), promises to give the colored candidate favorable consideration. They have resolved to support their own independent colored candidates for Assembly and Freeholder. The disillusioned radicals are sour and pessimistic over the report of an executive committee that appointed the appointed committee of sixty to arbitrate political matters for the betterment, of racial conditions in this city and county and have made an effort to improve the issue on so-called race principles.

SOCIETY'S lack of respect for the musician and the mistreatment of colored Americans are the two chief reasons a German musician gives in Musical America for not taking out his citizen papers in the United States. Although he has been in this country ten years he has never become acclimatized, as he is not in sympathy with our institutions. The German musician expresses himself in part as follows: "I came to America because of a disagreement with my parents, who did not want me to marry a young girl whom I loved. And so, in a fit of anger, I left. My life was sorrowed at the start, for the young girl would not leave her parents, even for me. So I have remained single. I make a fairly good living. "I do not like this country because the musician, to begin with, has not the standing that he has abroad, especially in Germany. You may say $ _{2} $ what you please, but the musician is looked upon as belonging to a class of people who are apart and do not belong in what you would call 'good society.' Oh, yes, he has to play when people want to dance or sing, or when they want opera, or when they go to hear the symphony. Then the musician is all right. But socially he is not received here like the lawyer or the doctor or the business man. "To give you an idea how your so-called Four Hundred appreciate a musician, let me tell you that not so long ago I was with a party of artists, a world-renowned pianist, a singer, a violinist, at the house of a multi-millionaire on Long Island. I was the accompanist to the singer. While we were waiting for the dinner to be over, so that we could give our concert, some ladies who had been invited to come to the concert arrived in their automobiles. When the butler told them to pass through the room where we were, one of the young ladies asked, "Who are those men sitting there?" "Oh," said the butler, 'those are the musicians who are to give the concert.' "Gracious!' exclaimed the young lady. 'Must we go through the room where the musicians are?' "And that will give you an idea of the respect in which the musicians, even the greatest artists, are held by what is called 'American Society.' "In the next place, I look upon this country as a country dominated by English hypocrisy. You have a prohibition which does not prohibit. You have the State of Maine, which has been 'dry,' as they call it, for years, where in Bangor alone there were over four hundred saloons at one time, for I. was there and I know. "I never felt so bad in my life as when I heard a lot of colored children singing in a school once in the South, 'My Country, 'Tis of Thee, Sweet Land of Liberty.' And that very morning I read in the paper, in that very town, there had been three Negroes lynched, and afterwards it seemed they were innocent of the crime with which they had been charged. And there were those poor colored children singing of liberty!" Putting aside the color question injected into this criticism of American customs and things, and taking up the broader issue—the status of the musician in this country—there is no denying the fact that the complainant has "hit the ball's eye." The musician, as a whole, does not relatively occupy as high a standing in the community as those of other professions, although he devotes hour after hour to become proficient in his life's work. When a doctor or a lawyer is summoned to the home of the rich, he gains admittance through the front door; but when the musician --- is sent for to dispense melody, he, as a rule, is ushered in by way of the same route taken by the ice man or delivery boy. And yet his duties are strictly professional the same as the doctor or lawyer, who carries with him a bag of some kind containing medical instruments or legal papers. The treatment accorded colored musicians at the beginning of the dance craze some years ago at Sherry's and some of the other far-famed eating palaces in New York was something frightful. When the hour arrived to feed the colored musicians they were given far less consideration than the white musicians; so much so that on one occasion James Reese Europe told his men to pack-up and was on the verge of walking out, when the manager learned of the objectionable place the Negroes had been directed to eat and the bad food unnecessarily provided by underlings. Then the colored men were escorted to one of the finest private dining rooms in the establishment and given the same menu as the guests. This was the beginning of a movement on the part of colored musicians in New York to secure proper recognition, and they succeeded in winning the respect of those who hitherto had looked upon them as menials. Of course, there were notable exception—wealthy women who went out of their way to see that the musician was well taken care of: but in the majority of instances very little kindly attention had been paid him. I heartily agree with the German musician, who, in his plaint, says the musician in America is not respected as he should be; that the position he holds is not as correspondingly high as that occupied by the members of other professions. Now if not why not: BOTH RACES TAKE PART IN BIG MUSICALE ATLANTA, Ga.-On' Tuesday evening, August 14, when an audience of 3,000 persons of both races stood and joined in the singing of the "Star Spangled Banner" with a chorus of 500 voices one more advanced step in church cooperation in citywide programs had been taken in Atlanta. On May 29 a banquet was given under the auspices of the Y. M. C. A. by the ministers, at which time Dr. J. E. Moorland, senior International Secretary of the Y. M. C. A., delivered an address. As a result of this meeting a subsequent meeting was held by the ministers, at which time selected musical beats were given at the City Auditorium, which would be compoed of all the choirs. A program committee was appointed consisting of one minister from each denomination including the secretary of the Y. M. C. A., Prof. Kemper Harbeld, musical director of Morehouse College, was selected to train the chorus and direct the whole affair. Nothing in recent months was more popular than this united chorus idea for three hundred and twenty-one persons registered for rehearsal, representing the choirs of 28 of the leading churches in the city. The chorus in itself made up a good size audience, and the music it rendered was in keeping with the size. There were prominent citizens in the audience who had without hesitation that this United Choir Chorus gave to the city the best musiciae ever held in the city of Atlanta. An additional feature of much importance was the rendering of several selections by Chas A. Shelton Jr., the city organist. This was the first time that the city organ has been used in a program made up of colored talent. This great organ, the largest, and finest in the entire South, with two pianos and orchestra supporting the three hundred voices, made the welkin ring with sweet music. All was not one great chorus, however, there were solos, vocal and instrumental, quartets and sextets and male choruses. The solo work of Miss Annie Massey, the leading of the melodies by Miss Violet Thomas of Athens, the solo of Miss Jessie Holmes and Fred Hall at the piano, all brought forth, much applause. The Y. M. C. A. Quartet was repeatedly enclosed Miss Florence Harris presided at the other piano with credit and ease. From the time the chairman of the evening, Dr. E. P. Johnson, called upon Dr. L. H King to lead in prayer until the close not a poor number was rendered. At the Lafayette Theatre next week the supreme sensation of last year's Theatrical season "The Vampire," will be produced.

It has aroused great audiences in the principal cities to an enthusiasm inspired by few plays and typifies the forces, good and evil, that sway a man.

Its dramatic episodes are tense and thrilling. Its examples of stage realism are striking.
