THE NEW YORK AGE "Training Camp Continued as Colored Units are Not to be Formed Until October"--Ballou CAMP Fort Des Moines, IA.—Since the Colored Officers' Training camp did not begin, until one month after the white camps, the white officers were graduated and ready one month before the colored officers, and as the colored troops are to be organized in units by themselves and the work of organizing the white units is now going on and will continue until well along in October before the colored drafted men will be called to arms, the War Department thought it wise to give colored candidates for commissions as much valuable training as possible. Hence the reason for the one month's extension at Fort Camp Des Moines. The above is the substance of a statement made by Brigadier-General C. C. Ballou, in charge of the training camp here for colored officers, who has taken exceptions to the charge that the War Department has extended the period of training at Camp Fort Des Moines for one month longer because of the belief that colored men are not as well qualified for commission as white men when given three months of training. In a letter to Dr. George W. Cahans of Washington, D. C., in which trouble mongers are accused of sending out a misstatement of facts, Brigadier-General Ballou sets forth the position of the War Department as follows: anything at all of the necessary qualifications for an officer knows that three months are not one-tenth of the time really necessary for his training, and that not one of our officers of three months' training has more than a slight beginning in learning his duties. If time were available they would all be kept in training for a much longer time. Now, is it the part of common sense to graduate these colored candidates a month or two ahead of the mobilization of the units they are to organize, feed, equip and train, and let them idle away the interim, or is it good business sense to continue their preparation by an extra month of work specifically selected with a view to enabling them to avoid the very mistakes now being made by the less fortunate officers who, however, sadly they may need an extra month's training were not so fortunate to get it? No one but the above mentioned trouble mongers can have any doubt either as to the wisdom of this extra month's work, under the circumstances or as to being absolutely devoid of any reflection, whatever on the col Dr. George W. Calabasas Washington, D. C. My dear Dr. Cabar A3; I was very much surprised to learn that anyone should construct the one month's extension of this training camp is an indication that the colored candidates for commissions required more than white candidates, and that a separate camp would be made in order to bring up to the standard of the white camp. As a matter of fact no one is in a position to institute comparison between the proficiency of the colored candidates and the whites so no one has had an opportunity to compare their work. The Inspector general of the Army visited all of the training camps, and could therefore institute a comparison as to the little practical work he observed in his brief visits, and also as to their apparent discipline, set-up, and smartness of appearance. I am convinced from his remarks that the candidate at this camp would not suffer from any such comparison. Not a Question of Relative Fitness The fact of the matter is that there is no reason whatsoever for supposing that the extension of this camp to October 15 was caused by any considerations of relative fitness of candidates, and there seems every reason for believing that this had nothing at all to do with the matter. There are, unfortunately, some people whose stock in trade is trouble making, and whose one desire on learning of the extension of this camp was to twist the facts so as to create discontent and ill-feeling. These trouble mongers resemble certain foul birds who enjoy no food except carrion. There was not one word or figure in the report and recommendations of the classification boards at this camp that could possibly have indicated to the War Department, or anyone else, the lightest reason for believing that the stored candidates were not as well qualified for their commission as were the white candidates. The War Department has not felt necessary to explain its action, and it should not be necessary, but the following may explain the matter to those who see something sinister in everything they don't understand. The men conscripted under the first call are to be actually mobilized in several inerments. The reason is obvious. To dump thirty or forty thousand men in a camp all at once would be to create confusion if not chaos, and to entail much actual suffering. Most of the officers who are to handle these concepts are the briefly instructed men of these three months' training camps. They can't be expected to handle such matters efficiently till they have had a little experience with smaller ones. Then there is the vast problem of supply. The machinery needs time to get to running at maximum speed and efficiency. It needs oilup and to begin at rather low speed. The colored troops are to be organized in units by themselves, and not mixed with whites. Since the Colored Officers' Training Camp did not begin until one month after the white camps, the white officers were graduated and ready one month before the colored ones could be. That the white regiments should therefore be the first ones must be as simply logical as that two and two make four. It will be well along in October before the last several white increments can be picked out and cared for. What is the sensible thing to do while with the colored candidates commissions? Any man who knows anything at all of the necessary qualifications for an officer knows that three months are not one-tenth of the time really necessary for this training, and that not one of our officers of three months' training has more than a slight beginning in learning his duties. If time were available they would all be kept in training for a much longer time. Now, is it the part of common sense to graduate these colored candidates a month or two ahead of the mobilization of the units they are to organize, feed, equip and train, and let them idle away the interim, or is it good business sense to continue their preparation by an extra month of work specially selected with a view to enable them to avoid the very mistakes now being made by the less fortunate officers who, however, sadly they may need an extra month's training were not so fortunate as to get it? "No one but the above mentioned trouble makers can have any doubt either as to the wisdom of this extra month's work, under the circumstances, or as to being absolutely devoid of any reflection whatsoever on the colored candidates.

SCOTT MADE ADVISOR TO SECRETARY BAKER (Special to Tex New York Daily) WASHINGTON, D. C.—Emmett J. Scott, secretary of Tuskegee Institute, has been appointed civilian advisor to the Secretary of War and will take up residence in Washington, D. C. He will be in daily communication with the other two members of the committee, Felix Frankfurter of the Harvard University Law School, and Walter Eippman, editor of the New Republic. This committee will be in direct consultation with Secretary Baker. For the last twenty years Mr. Scott has been in the public eye. Before becoming private secretary to Booker T. Washington he attracted attention as a newspaper man, first on the Houston Post, Houston, Tex., and later as editor of the Texas Freeman. He also served as private secretary to the famous Texas politician, Wright Cuney. In the early days of Tuskegee Mr. EMMETT J. SCOTT Scott became private secretary to Booker T. Washington and for eighteen years served with great credit in a confidential capacity to the celebrated Negro leader, proving a most valuable and trusted assistant. It was Mr. Scott who framed the platform and handled the machinery of the National Negro Business League, who managed all the many trips that Booker T. Washington made through the Southern and Atlantic States, and who in all detail work of Tuskegee Institute as well as in the public work upheld the hands of his chief. He has a wide acquaintance and is the author of several pamphlets and books, among which are "Is Liberty Worth Savings?" "Tuskegee and Its People" and "Booker T Washington-Builder of a Civilization." DR. SOBEL ACCUSED OF SLANDERING RACE Dr. Charles H. Roberts, the well known dentist, takes exceptions to the erroneous statements made in an article written by Dr. Jacob Sobel of the Health Department, recently published in the daily press, in which Dr. Sobel undertook to intelligently discuss "The Mortality of Negro Babies in New York City." "Dr. Sobel's article causes one to thing that he has gone out of his way to create an unfavorable impression about colored people," said Dr. Roberts to an A&E representative. "In this respect it is in keeping with most articles written by white men concerning colored people. It must detract to deserve attention. "Dr. Sobel bases most of his discussion on statistics. We accept his statement in regard to the mortality of colored babies in New York City, but when he attempts to make it appear that similar conditions obtain with reference to the mortality of the colored people as a race, he is mistaken. In the South it is not known what the colored population actually is, let alone what causes the death of Negroes. The statement is usually made that they die from tuberculosis, syphilis or alcoholism. In most cases death certificates are not required. "In the first paragraph Dr. Sobel says that colored people die faster than the white people regardless of whether they live apart and under the conditions peculiar to themselves or among with the white population." One naturally wonders how the doctor made his comparison. There is no part of this country in which the colored live among and with the white population. Dr. Sobel knows full well that colored people are segregated everywhere, in the United States and are forced to live under worse conditions (sanitary and otherwise) than other grits or forfeitures. Shows Lack of Knowledge About Negro. "After having discussed at length infant mortality he concludes that 'the points of attack on the problem in the case of the colored population are: ilegitimacy, syphilis, tuberculosis, alcoholism, etc.' I should like to know if the 'points of attack' would be different in the case of the whites. Class for class, conditions being the same, whites suffer from the diseases mentioned above in the same proportion as colored people do. "Again the doctor makes the wrong impression when he states that 'one cannot escape the conviction that at present there is something inherent in the colored race which renders them more susceptible to the inroads of disease.' He states further: 'We feel that even if conditions among the whites and Negroes were the same the infant mortality would be higher among the latter because of this lack of racial resistance.' Here Dr. Sobel shows his lack of knowledge of the colored race from a physical point of view. As a matter of fact the colored man's physical stamina and power of resistance are unsurpassed. "Two processes served to increase the inherent vitality which already existed when the American Negro was taken into captivity; the process of selection and the process of elimination. The slave trader selected and captured when possible the best physical specimen to bring to American slave markets. The slave trader's method of transportation and the after treatment of the slave by the American slave owner constitute the process of elimination. The slaves were herded like cattle on the ships, shut in hot, close quarters, many to die of disease, suffocation and hunger, so that only those with great power of endurance survived. The American slave holder pursued with increased severity this process of elimination by driving the slave without pity and without mercy. The surviving of the ordeal was only by dint of physical stamina, for only the fittest could survive." Negro's Resistance and Recuperation "In addition to this state of forced physical perfection the Negro was endowed with a happy state of mind. This rugged bodily condition, combined with an easy mental state, counted well to the advantage of the American Negro. Again, the American Negro baby was breast fed to a greater extent than any other American, and American slave owners practiced eugenics among their slaves. "In regard to the power of resistance and the recuperative power of the American Negro, Dr DeWitt Bellinger Casler has thus to say. We have often talked about the matter of the resistance and recuperative power of the Negro race after operation, and I have no hesitation in saying that with a rather large experience I can state as my belief that the powers of resistance of the Negro race and their ability to recuperate after severe operations are greater than among the white. In the neurological work with which I have been especially associated in the wards of Johns Hopkins, the recuperative pow- (Continued on page 101) The image provided is too blurry to accurately recognize any text.

Colonel Roosevelt led in the cheer. Three hundred graduates of the public schools of Greater New York for the year of 1917 were present at the reception given in their honor Thursday evening, September 27, at Mount Ovet Baptist Church in West Fifth-third street, tendered by the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People and a committee of citizens.

Three cheers for him as the absolute incarnation of Americanism!" Want Non-partisan Administration Mr. Hughes in his earnest talk said in part: "Mr. Mayor, this great outpouring of the citizens of New York is a tribute to you personally. We believe in you. We knowing your work and your achievements, are here to express our absolute confidence in you. (Applause). But the attacks of ignorance and of malice. Malignant you seek to destroy you, but we know you, and we know your entenies, and it is because we know you and we know your enemies that we want you to run again for Mayor." "We are here because we believe in non-partisan municipal administration. You are the incarnation of that principle. With rare fidelity, with intelligence and expertness highly trained by POQUONOCK BRIDGE, CONN.—Charges have been made that colored employment agents in Baltimore representing the New Haven Railroad, sent undesirable help to this section during the month of September, few remaining on their respective jobs more than a day or so. On Saturday, September 1, it is said that sixty-six Negroes were sent to Poquonock Bridge by Baltimore agents and only seven were present the following Monday morning, September 3 On Wednesday, September 12, twenty-six more track hands put in appearance from Baltimore and only nine of the number were at work September 76. It is alleged that an additional twenty-six were sent here from Baltimore September 19, and at supper Friday evening, September 21, only six were present. The same agents are accused of sending forty-seven Negroes from Baltimore to Poquonock Bridge Wednesday, September 26, and forty-eight hours later but two reported for work. It is said that many of the men in question left Baltimore to avoid the anti-loading law now in force, and that the presence of this undesirable element of the race in New England will prove harmful to both races.

The following telegram was read from former President Taft: "My dear Gov. Hughes: I am sorry I cannot be present at the noon meeting tomorrow called to support the candidacy of Mayor Mitchell for re-election.

Ransom, the regular Republican nominee and Fusson's choice for District Attorney of New York County. Judge Ransom's wide experience in dealing with all races and classes in New York has rendered him capable JUDGE WILLIAM L. RANSOM of appreciating the fact that colored voters, while deeply interested in municipal reform, the reduction of taxes and other important subjects also want to know a candidate's attitude relative to giving the Negro a square deal. In a statement to THE Age Judge Ransom discussed his position on the race question as follows: "When elected District Attorney I shall do all in my power to secure a square deal for every man and woman of every race and of every color, and I shall do my best to make all honest law-abiding men feel that they have a friend in the District Attorney's office. I shall be the defender of the rights of all, the protector of their liberty and security.

Eight Thousand Negroes from North and South Carolina and Florida to be Trained at Camp Jackson—Virginia Recruits to be Sent to Camp Lee, near Petersburg. (Special to The New York Am.) WASHINGTON, D. C.—The first of the drafted Negroes will be mobilized during October, and Secretary Baker has announced that a complete unit of Negroes will train at each of the sixteen cantonments, instead of training them only at cantonments to which a considerable number report. The size of the unit will depend upon the number of Negroes there is from the divisional area which supplies each cantonment, but where there is a large surplus men will be sent to posts with smaller numbers for consolidation with the training units there. According to orders issued by the Provost Marshal General Crowd mobilization of Negroes enrolled under the selective draft has been ordered at various camps in the South, for them to receive the proper training, indicates that the War Department has decided upon the policy of training the conscripted men of the race at the camps adjacent to the localities in which they were drafted. Thousands to be at Southern Camp. Under the orders just issued 6,000 men of the race from North and South Carolina and Florida are being mobilized at Camp Jackson, near Columbia, S. C. This will include 26 per cent of the entire quota of South Carolina, composed entirely of Negroes. The order the colored troops at all can-call for the same percentage, making the totals from the three States as for South Carolina total draft, 0,081; 26 per cent 2,618 North Carolina total draft; 15,974; 26 per cent, 1,455 Florida total draft; 6,325; 26 per cent, 1,645. In Virginia provision has been made for the housing of colored recruits at Camp Lee, near Petersburg. Residents for the housing of those soldiers have been completed and all is reported in readiness for their reception. In compliance with a recently issued order the colored troops at all conten- tments will be trained separately. This however, does not in any wise mean that they will be trained less thoroughly. This precaution is taken as a matter of safety and to guard against any pos-sible breach of the discipline and good feeling that is desired to maintain in the army. 15TH ORDERED TO GO TO-SPARTANBURG, S. C. Col William Hayward of the Fifteenth Regiment received instructions from the War Department Wednesday to be in readiness to proceed to Camp Wadsworth, Spartanburg, S.

Companies A, B, C and D will remain in New York under LieuCol. Lorillard Spencer, but will soon follow for Camp Wadsworth. COLORED SUFFRAGISTS OPPOSED TO PICKETING Colored suffragists who attended the recent meeting of several hundred leaders and workers of the New York City Woman Suffrage Party at 2 East 38th Street, helped to pass the following resolution relative to the Washington pickets: WHEREAS Some men in the city of New York have said they proposed to vote against the Woman Suffrage Amendment, in order to rebuke the women who have picketed the White House. BE IT RESOLVED, That we of the Woman Suffrage Party of the city of New York protest against this vote, we have not plotted the White House and are to such tactics as emphatically any man in New York City. Let it not be forbidden that a million women in the state of New York have asked the men of this country for the vote. Shall this petition be denied, in order to express condemnation of a handful of women? These are times which call for calm mindedness, reason and fair play.

He carried a trunk on his back and was fol- lowed by his wife. They were both very ignorant, very foreign, very rustic. They wanted to cross the Avenue. A long line of automobiles was rolling by. Suddenly the traffic policeman spied the two piti- ful fgures. He put up his hand and the stream of splendid vehicles halted. He motioned to the man and woman and they safely crossed the street. And when they landed on the opposite sidewalk, the woman. choking with tears, said to her man: “Ah, Pachom! this surely must be a land of equality! For did you not see the soldier stop all the Magni- ficences in their carriages and help us to cross the street?” This woman, coming from a land where those in uniform were the oppressors of the people, realized Fusion Committee of 1917 Keep Mitchel on the job! —— ce TTRa T™ FAME CTATOE Tt.

NDOL HAIR PAPLOR, 2887 Th Ave, HM, Y. that she had found a city where the police were the friends and protectors of the people. That is the spirit of the Mitchel administration. ‘That is the mind of Police Commissioner Woods. It is to make the poor, the weak, the friendless man and wo- man realize that the police- man is their servant, their friend, set in his place and dressed in his uniform to Help, and not to Hurt. His business is.to befriend and protect New York's citizens. It is not to club, and abuse, and arrest, except as these things are necessary in order to insure protec- tion for those who need it. The policeman is my: big brother, and yours, with the power of the Great City behind him, to keep us all in our ways. Few realize how the policeman has been transformed from Bugaboo to Big Brother by the Woods’ idea. He still chases thieves, arrests rowdies, clubs the roughs, and is a terror to evil-doers, but he is doing a lot of other things these days. He lectures the children in the schools about street accidents. He drills the boys in the Junior Police. He gives the boys and girls presents from a grand Christmas Tree at the station house. = y Ih other days when a criminal had finished his term in prison he was hounded by the police; now the police have an employment bureau for these unfortunates, and have helped 800 of them to get jobs and make a fresh start.

In response to the overwhelming demand of the citizens of New York, as was demonstrated by the gathering of over ten thousand of them in City Hall Park, on Monday, Mayor Mitchel has decided to run for re-election. The demand for him to enter the campaign was endorsed by such eminent citizens as Col. Roosevelt, ex-President Taft, former Justice Hughes and Public Service Commissioner Straus. Those desirous of good government, regardless of the politics in it, will support Mayor Mitchel for election with the rest of the Fusion ticket. The present administration has given New York: the best government it has had in many a day, regardless of the errors of emission and commission incidental to municipal affairs in general. It, therefore, deserves the endorsement of the people. The voters of the race in Harman have the opportunity of a lifetime afforded them to rally to the support of their candidates for the Assembly and the Board of Aldermen in the persons of Edward A. Johnson and James C. Thomas, Jr. There is no doubt as to the regularity of the endorsement of these two candidates by the party, and their general fitness should command them to the voters in general. They, together with the rest of the Fusion ticket, should receive the loyal support of all persons who believe in good government. A. PLEDGE TO THE WEAK In a signed statement issued by the Hon. W. G. McAdoo, secretary of the United States Treasury, setting forth the purposes of the Second Liberty Loan, we find the following inspiring paragraph: "We fight also for the noble ideal of universal democracy and liberty, the right of the smallest and weakest nations equally with the most powerful to live and to govern themselves according to the will of their own people." This will carry a welcome message of hope to the people of the little Republic of Haiti, now experiencing the rigors of American military rule, and they may regard it as a pledge for the restoration of their autonomy, after the necessity for the American occupation has passed. Let the Haitians make the best of the present situation and set themselves to learn and practice the lessons of good government after the present crisis has passed. As the Public of Chicago truly says: "Haiti is one of the small nations whose right to independence and self-government has been violated." FREEDOM FOR AFRICA That the present world's war is destined to work widespread changes in the relations of all the peoples of the globe has been pointed out by many farsighted observers. One of these changes that affects the destinies of the African races in their native territories is predicted in a recent number of the Christian Register, an organ of the Unitarian denomination published in Boston. The writer says: Nearly all of Africa has been cut up into spheres of influence, and the Great Powers of Europe that are now attempting to destroy each other will soon be at odds over what are known as their colonial possessions. It is incredible that the tribes and nations of Africa will always be denied the right of choice as to their political and social relations with the masterful nations that have ruled them. Will the European governments allow Africans to say who shall be their masters, their fellowworkers, their friends? If not now, at some later date freedom must be decreed for Africa. Because he had steamed engines and machine-guns, Kitcheler could mow down the natives by the thousand and then establish a university at Karthoum. But some day Africans will have steamed engines and machine-guns of their own. Then let Europe beware. There is every reason to believe that future events will verify the prediction made above. Already unrest and dissatisfaction are being voiced by the native papers of South Africa and the West Coast over the arbitrary and unjust exactions of the Dutch and British officials who dominate their affairs. Robbed of their territorial rights and made the victims of increasing taxation without representation, with forced labor as an impending resort, the endurance of the natives is being tried to the utmost. Such a situation cannot endure forever and the strongest loyalty to the Empire cannot withstand the strain unless something is done to bring about relief. The best statesmanship of Great Britain will find the problems of her African possessions none too easy to solve. A FLAG FOR ETHIOPIA A FLAG FOR ETHIOPIA. There used to be a saying current some time ago to the effect that "every nation has a flag, but the Negro." To supply this deficiency, we have received a letter from James Cannon, president of the U. B. F. Club, Inc., Long Branch, N. J., enclosing a drawing of a flag or emblem. This is intended to represent the Negro in general, he says, "that is the whole Ethiopean race." His sanguine expectation is that "if this flag is introduced among the colored people in this country, the thought of inequality and nonrepresentation will vanish. In other words, it will give the Negro an emblem to respect and to make respect." The drawing depicts a banner divided into three panels. The first division at the left contains horizontal stripes, five being yellow, three black and three brown. The center consists of alternate red and white stripes, with a broad black stripe at the bottom. The panel to the right contains a five-pointed star, white center and red border on a field of blue, under which run four stripes of red, black, yellow and brown. We fear that Mr. Cannon's design will not fill the bill. The general effect is too prismatic even for a "rainbow division." There is already one flag in America which the Negro has made his own, by his blood and tears and toil. It is the "Red, White and Blue." He has earned a part and share in the National emblem since the foundation of the Republic that none can take away. Some of the language difficulties that beset the American forces sent to France are amusingly set forth in a recent magazine article by Heywood Broun. He instances the keen disappointment experienced by some of the Negroes who accompanied the American army. A little group of these hailed with joy the sight of a couple of black colonials in the French uniform. They rushed toward them with friendly greetings only to run up against French phrases. Evidently the members of the expeditionary forces must at least be prepared to ejaculate: "Bon jour, mon garçon, comment se va." TOWN TOPICS ON THE RACE QUESTION. Town Topics is what is called a society journal. It relates each week the doings of high society. Its special function appears to be the purveying of choice bits of scandal about the "Four Hundred" while at Newport, down on Long Island or on Fifth Avenue. But occasionally Town Topics takes a fling at the race question, and whenever it does, it is as bitter as a society journal could possibly be. Just why Town Topics should concern itself at all with the race question is hard to understand; and why it should be so nasty about it is harder still to understand. It appears that Town Topics has heard that the colored people of New York intend to press their claims for political representation both in the state and municipal governments; and feeling that such a course is far from wise, it gives out the following warning and advice on the subject: The demand made by New York Negroes for representation in the State Legislature and in the city's Board of Aldermen is not calculated to further their claims for equality with the white race. Political place and political pap are not to be had for the mere asking. Such gifts are not conferred on any ground of justice, but by the force of votes. When the Negroes are strong enough to elect a black man or to compel the white men of a political party to nominate him they will get the office, and not before. They may parade as much as they please and carry all the banners and transparencies they can invent, but they will be no nearer the coveted prizes. And there is another thing the colored brother must learn: He cannot persuade or beg the white man to accept him as a social equal. There can be no real social equality without intermarriage, and the white people of America, North or South, will never consent to missegenation. The assimilation of ten million Negroes by ninety million whites would result in a mongrel population that would lower the standard of American manhood. The Negro should be given every opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as long as he observes the line of social demarkation between the races. Notwithstanding the tone of the above paragraph, its absurd contradictions and zigzag Southern logic, it contains one striking truth, a truth that the American Negro ought to know well by this time. "Political place and political pap are not to be had for the mere asking. Such gifts are not conferred on any ground of justice, but by the force of votes." Here is a political text that the American Negro must learn by heart. It is true today, and it has always been true. Perhaps it might interest Town Topics to know that the "colored brother" is fast realizing this truth. In Chicago, he has learned it and acted in accordance. In that city the colored people do not merely ask for appointive offices, they go in and elect members of their own race or dictate the nomination of men acceptable to them. And we can also assure Town Topics that the "colored brother" in New York will shortly be doing the same thing. There are now in Harlem, living in a solid community, more than one hundred thousand colored people. When they become politically organized, a point they are fast reaching, they will have representatives of their own race and choosing not only in the municipal and state governments, but also in the national government. So much for the grain of truth in the Town Topics article, now for a glance at its zigzag Southern logic. The paragraph goes on to say that the Negro must learn that he cannot persuade or beg the white man to accept him as a social equal; that there can be no real social equality without intermarriage; and that the white people of America, North or South, will never consent to intermarriage. Now if the white people of America, North and South, cannot even conceive of such a monstrous thing as intermarriage, why is Town Topics so fearful that social recognition would bring it about? If colored people are such innately inferior things, if they are such naturally repulsive things, closer contact with the other race would bring about just the opposite result. All I can make out of this ancient argument is that colored people are not, after all, so inferior and so repulsive as their detractors would have the world believe. Then there is the statement that any mixture of white and black blood produces an unspeakable mongrel. The word "mongrel" being used in the worst sense that it has in the language of animal breeders. This is an assertion that is frequently made, and that should always be contradicted; for it carries the implication that black blood is an indelible taint. In the terms used by Town Topics Frederick Douglass was a mongrel, and Booker T. Washington was a mongrel. Now, in spite of the heroic times in which Douglass lived, it would puzzle any fair judge to name the twenty-five greatest Americans of those times, and not include Douglass. It would puzzle a fair judge to name the twelve greatest Americans of the past The headline editor of the metropolitan daily who wrote "La Follette Must Go, Say Bankers," must have been groping for an argument to reinstate the Wisconsin Senator in the affections of his Western constituents. what are styled "New Phases of the Negro Problem." Among these phases are the progress of race riots northward, together with the migration movement, and the various questions grow- Beautiful "high brown" Negro dolls are advertised by a Philadelphia concern, the latest in make and design being named the "Society Belle" and "Mary the Maid." Soldiers from the front, boy scouts and campfire girls are other patterns offered. This is an ingenious yet perfectly natural way of inculcating race pride at an early stage in life. Holyoke, Mass., is mentioned first among the cities in which concrete results of the war work conducted by the National Urban League can be seen. Improved working conditions for Negro employees, better housing and more wholesome recreation are enumerated by President L. Hollingsworth Wood as some of the results attained through the work of the league. The workers have been aided to find proper homes, the jobs best suited to their training, taught how to protect their health, informed how to educate their children as well as themselves and put in touch with their churches. This is an example of the good work done by the league in many communities. A writer in the Christian Register of Boston considers in a sympathetic vein what are styled "New Phases of the Negro Problem." Among these phases are the progress of race riots northward, together with the migration movement, and the various questions growing out of the war and the draft. The recourse to petition and the vote and trade-patronage are regarded as powerful levers when brought to bear upon men in high places. A hint of another remedy is perceived in the recent decision of a white jury at Jacksonville, Fla., in favor of a Negro who shot a white invader of his home. This acquittal indicates a gain in the community's sense of justice. The writer concludes: "It is this deepdown growth in the white man's sense of justice and inter-racial sympathy which will work as an interior force, together with the exterior economic forces urged by Dr. Washington, to bring equality of opportunity and harmony of effort between races so long associated yet so long estranged." The open letter addressed by Prof Kelly Miller to President Wilson is compelling wide attention in the public press. H. L. Mencken reviewed it at length in the Evening Mail and the New York Globe pronounced it "a dignified and compelling protest against the massacre in East St. Louis." The letter was published in full in the Congressional Record and has also been printed in pamphlet form. twenty years and not name Booker T. Washington. In fact, it could not be done. In the terms used by Town Topics, Alexandre Dumas of France was a mongrel, and Alexander Pushkin of Russia was a mongrel. And yet, the United States in its whole history has not produced a romancer, the equal of Dumas or a poet the equal of Pushkin. Of course the men I have named are exceptions, but if the statement made by Town Topics were true, these men, as they were, could never have existed, they would not have been possible. Th closing pronouncement by this Town Topic sage is so ridiculous as to be humorous. "The Negro should be given every opportunity for life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness as long as he observes the line of social demarkation between the races." In some parts of the country an observation of the "line of social demarkation" means that Negroes must not ride in a first class railroad car, that he must not sit where he pleases in a street car, even that he must not sit down in some of the public parks. But aside from that, no self respecting man is going around voluntarily acknowledging that he is, on account of his race, unfit for human companionship. When Town Topics accorded to the Negro life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness, it did so with the emphasis on "pursuit." TWO QUESTIONS. Writing for the Continent, lecture upon its treatment of the country that in going over the seelooking such undemocratic tend burning and the East St. Louis man the Florida Times-Union asks the South could fit a savage to exerce country within a few generations infinite credit? Her work was taken the trustees of the new system in them?

That is guilty conscience. It is true that with the English language, the Western civilization, but the credery, it must be given to the Negro of slavery.

The first part of the second saying that God alone knows what South's "work" had not been taken how the trustees of the "new system" reposed in them, we must answer They have turned it back over int Writing for the Continent, Charles Stelzle reads the South a lecture upon its treatment of the Negro. He reminds the whole country that in going over the sea to set up democracy, it is overlooking such undemocratic tendencies at home as the Memphis burning and the East St. Louis massacre. In answering Mr. Stelzle, the Florida Times-Union asks the two following questions: "If the South could fit a savage to exercise the duties of a citizen of this country within a few generations, can she or her people be denied infinite credit? Her work was taken out of her hands in 1865; how have the trustees of the new system justified the confidence reposed in them? The very audacity of the first question makes it unanswerable. What argument can be brought to bear on a mind that believes the South performed a moral and Christian duty in enslaving a race and keeping it in servitude for two hundred years? The question asked by the Times-Union means to imply that the Negro would not have been fitted for citizenship had it not been for slavery; therefore, slavery stands justified. That is going a long way to get salve for a guilty conscience. It is true that the Negro did come out of slavery with the English language, the Christian religion and ideals of Western civilization, but the credit for that cannot be given to slavery, it must be given to the Negro. He came out as he did in spite of slavery. It was his own strength that enabled him to withstand slavery, and it was his own capacity that enabled him to make the English language, the Christian religion and Western civilization his own. Had the Negro not possessed these elements, slavery would have killed him. The first part of the second question can be answered only by saying that God alone knows what the result would have been if the South's "work" had not been taken out of her hands in 1865. As to how the trustees of the "new system" have justified the confidence reposed in them, we must answer, "They have deserted their trust. They have turned it back over into the hands of the South." WHAT THE NEGRO PRESS SAYS Last Monday was the first real Labor Day the Negroes of this state ever had. Those that labored at the camp got $4, $8.80 and $11 a day for that labor day's work. Such labor days once a month would not hurt the Negroes. Yet some of them loafed, hung around the station and pool rooms—Columbia (S. C.) Li,ht. When Black Soldiers Looked Good. When a state of anarchy prevailed at Spokane, Chief Sullivan was assassinated, supposed by an I. W. W. The sheriff was powerless, more than 700 I. W. W's were incarcerated. At last the government was called upon. The commanding officer at Fort Wright marched down Riverside Avenue with 400 black soldiers. The I. W. W.'s were marched to Fort Wright, and anarchy, like the silent Turk, folded its tent and went its way. At that time black soldiers looked mighty good to Spokane. — Portland (Ore.) Advocate Letters have been received by citizens of this city from friends in other places expressing regret on account of the "riot" in Lexington between the soldiers and the Negroes. To our way of thinking, Lexington has not as yet had a riot of any kind at all. There has been a slight disturbance, and we do not know who was in fault, as we were not there. We have heard it slightly whispered through the keyhole that the two soldiers who were shot last Sunday night were not shot by Negroes, but were fired on from a "house" by some of their own color.—Lexington (Ky.) News. Quite a number of the substantial white business men of the city are alarmed at the "unrest" that is so evident these days among the colored people of Houston, especially the laboring classes, who are leaving Houston in droves, depleting in many instances the working forces of some of Houston's largest business and industrial plants.—Houston (Tex.) Freeman. Minors Have Eyes Opened. The Reporter is not at all surprised at the result of the movement on part of the United Mine Workers' officials to disturb the peaceful relations which have for nine years existed between the coal operators and the miners. Not surprised, because we early saw the utter futility of attempting to form a stable union between the white and the colored miners of this section. Not surprised, because we recognized the strength, the foresight and the general acumen of the coal operators of Alabama. Not surprised, because we knew that in unionizing the white leaders would demand all the honors and all the emoluments of office holding, and would recognize the Negro only as a free-frying sustaining member. Not . . . --- No Riot in Lexington. --- "Unrest" in Houston. Charles Stelzle reads the South ae the Negro.

Make a world for your children to live in.—Danville (Va.) Torchlight Some folks seem to think that all a Negro can do aside from manual labor is to be a "parson," as some of them call it. They seem to think that every Negro man they see who is not dressed in overalls is a preacher, and failing in that they size him up as a school teacher, and then their last catch is a doctor. It does not seem to occur to them that he might be a business man engaged in a purely legitimate business.—Helena (Ark.) Reporter. Requisites for Leadership. Men who would aspire to leadership, who any line must inform themselves, control their feelings and be brave enough to go straight ahead in the path of duty fearless of any consequences. The minister of today should study the pre-requisites to leadership. The minister of all men should know his job, and how to do it; he should possess a large amount of self-control, he should permit no personal liking or pleasure or ease to govern in matters of duty and obligations; he should courageously push the battle to the gate, determined that nothing short of victory will satisfy him.

The Catholic Church with its strength and organization, with its reasoned appeal to the emotions, with its broadness of vision, would prove the salvation of the colored race. Catholicity really influences the Negro. Where it has established its sway over the minds and hearts of the Negro you have a splendid Christian and an exemplary citizen. In view of the social and religious needs of the colored race it isamentable that the Catholic Church has not reached a title of its people. The location of the race where the church was least influential accounts for the small number within it. Considerable missionary work is done but it is a battle against great odds. Leaders of the Negro race, who are correctly striving for the redemption of their people through social and economic betterment might well turn their thoughts to that great and growing institution, the Catholic Church. Without doubt it would prove a haven of refuge to the colored man, and be his sure defense for his rights as an American. What a Convention Did for Mushrooms There were at least 20,000 to 25,000 people who came to Muskogee to the National Baptist Convention and they left in that beautiful city fully $200,000. This same wonder city entertained the National Negro Business League some time ago, much to its credit and much to its profit. Grand lodges go there and organizations of all sorts are attracted to Muskogee for the holding of their annual sessions. As a result, Muskegee Negroes have grown richer and better known all over America. One Muskegee colored drug store proprietor last week declared that his cash registered from $350 to $400 each day during the session. One Negro traitor employed six extra men to press clothes. Restaurants charged 35 cents for meals that surely had a profit in them and black chauffers reaped a barrel of dollars. Rooming houses (some of them) charged as high as $2 for a bed and it was paid, and nobody kicked, and every other activity of black folks, including dry goods stores, barber shops, grocery stores, hamburger stands and boot blacks reaped a golden harvest. In other words, the Muskegee Negro business men grasped a year's profits in a week from the National Baptist Convention. A great many of these will not be on the anxious seat again this year about their financial affairs, because of the dollars left by the Baptist hosts.—Oklahoma City (Okla.)

THE NEW YORK AGE THE ARRANGER OF MUSIC (NY LESTER A. WALTON) WHAT the song-writers are doing on Broadway usually is interesting reading to those who possess a fondness for dance and song, and despite the big raise in the price of paper and ink, many columns are being devoted to the composer by theatrical journals and other periodicals. In contrast to this generous attitude of the press toward the composer might be mentioned the indifference manifested toward a most important member of the song-writing industry—the arranger. The arranger seldom breaks into print, although his valuable services are seldom underestimated by those with whom he transacts business. But as the public is more concerned about the originator of a composition than the arranger the position of the latter is analogous to that of the "rewrite man" on a newspaper. While he straightens out the involved parts of the manuscript and does all the retouching with a fine Italian hand he gets no credit on the outside for rounding something into a finished product. The arranger is generally the technician of the song-writing business. One of his functions is to do for the composer what the composer cannot do for himself. Few composers of music are capable of properly putting down their melodies on paper. Here is where the arranger becomes the master of the situation, the "Pooch Bah." The average composer is completely at the mercy of the arranger when he wants a melody transferred from his head to paper. Quite often the composer occupies the peculiar position of knowing what he wants but is compelled to get someone else to carry out his ideas. His knowledge of harmony, the blending of chords and diatonic progression are more academic than technical. It is the arranger who makes it possible for the cadenza and other effects in the accompaniment, these features being looked after when the original piano copy is being made. When the theatre-goer attends a musical show and is thrilled by the superb or orchestral accompaniment to the singers little is it thought that this fine piece of instrumentation was developed by the arranger from the piano copy; that from his brain were evolved the 'cello solo part, the crash of drums and the bleating of French horns. Much depends on the vocal orchestrations used in a musical production, and there are times when an ordinary song makes a hit because of its orchestral embellishments. Those who trip the light fantastic owe much to the arranger who makes the dance orchestration, and those who would follow a brass band a mile'ate greatly indebted to the arranger who has written the band' orchestrations. What makes the job of orchestrating an exacting one is that the arranger personally has to make each orchestration for he cannot impart his ideas of how it should be done to anyone else. Just as the literary man must write his own book, so must an arranger make his own orchestration. Will H. Vodery belongs to that category of musicians who do not occupy the spot light as much as they are justly entitled to. Although a composer of ability, he has made an enviable reputation on the Kiallo as an arranger, and in recent years has had but little time to give to original compositions. Mr. Vodery is a young man in his thirties and a native of Philadelphia. With one exception he is more in demand than any other arranger in New York. The notable exception is a white arranger who was in the business when Will Vodery was studying music in the "Quaker City." Nearly every music publisher in New York seeks the services of Will Vodery, and such prominent --- producers as Charles Dillingham and F. Ziegfeld commission him to arrange vocal orchestrations for their productions. Most of the music in Ziegfeld's Follies is arranged by this talented colored musician, who occupies a unique position in the realm of melody, and who, like wine, will improve with age. The next time you attend a musical show or a dance remember the arranger. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS. Chris Smith and Henry Troy have turned out the best colored act of the season. They are working on the Loews Circuit. First half of the week at the Bijou, Brooklyn, they stopped the show. Lew Payton and Jim Burris are to be featured in a musical show."Dr. Beang From Boston."

"THE FIGHT" TO BE SEEN AT THE LAFAYETTE Bayard Veiller, author of "Within the Law" and the "13th Chair" has written a play—the "Fight"—dealing with politics, graft and women. This new piece will be seen at the Lafayette Theatre next week. Commenting on the play the New York Harold said: "To judge from the title The Fight' Bayard Veiller possesses the basic elements of good dramatic action. It never overreaches itself by becoming theatrical or melodramatica. His theme is a strong one, the action never lagging. The attention of the audience was caught at one by wisk first action. The well-dressed characters who unfolded the story of the play, the struggle for supremacy between a woman candidate for mayor of a town in Colorado, and a political ring. The lines 'got across' well and there was a tincture of satirical humor that kept the spectators in a state of pleasant anticipation. The second art in the scene between the United States Senator and the woman candidate for mayoralty, was exceedingly strong, especially where she fight for a clean town. In the third act, a run on the bank is introduced in which the Graft Ring is trying to ruin the woman, but she by clever acumen, by her cleverness, by saving the bank and also winning the election. "Mr. Veiller has given us a play that has force and character." 1 INCOIN & NOW LEAD By winning two games Sunday at Olympic Field the Lincoln Giants forged ahead of the Royal Giants in the series for the local championship The Lincoln Giants now lead six games to five.

"I served for several years in the City Courts where cases were tried before me by colored lawyers. Colored men also served as jurors and on numerous occasions the defendants or witnesses were Negroes. I do not believe that any colored person ever left my court feeling that he or she had been discriminated against on account of color. Experience has taught me that it is possible to create and preserve in the courtroom or in any public office a fair-minded attitude—one prompted by the mind and heart, and maintain a point of view causing every one in the courtroom to feel that in the presence of the law all are equal and entitled to fair treatment, accorded no advantage or disadvantage because of not being identified with any particular race. "As District Attorneys of New York County I shall deem it my duty to see that every accused person, however poor or obscure, is treated fairly, and if dued I shall be glad to give case the proper attention. During my regime there will be no 'trame-ups,' no railroading, and the misstrain practice of assigning commute to and the accused will radically rebound on ended outright. An Interesting Career Judge Kahn who is being backed by the Republican, Fusion and City Democrat tickets, was thirty-four ARTISTS. years old on Jun 24. His career of more than ten years as a member of the bar of New York City has been unusual in many ways. He is regarded as one of the forceful figures of the local campaign and was urged by Gov. Whitney Mayer Michel and other leaders to make a whirlwind fight against Tammany. William L. Ranson was born on a farm and at eight his parents moved to the city. His father was a working man in moderate circumstances, and as his sisters needed money for their education and support young Ransom carried newspapers while attending the public schools. Later he worked as a printer's helper on Saturdays, and before leaving high school he was editor of a trades-union paper. After leaving high school Mr. Ranson became a newspaper reporter and earned enough money to go through Cornell College. In 1907 as a junior two years out of law school Mr. Ranson in 1907 assisted the late William M. Irvins in conducting an inquiry as to the finances of the Metropolitan Street Railway Company. In 1900 and 1911 he represented commercial and labor organizations in New Jersey, conducting a successful light in their behalf before the Interstate Commerce Commission against the railroads. In 1913 he was nominated for Justice of the City Court on the Republican, Progressive, Independence League packets and was elected by 27,000 votes. While a Judge of the City Court Mr. Ranson introduced the special calendar idea with a view to securing immediate action in cases involving labor and services, business men's accounts and the like. Last April Judge Ransom resumed as a Judge of the City Court at a salary of $12,000 a year for over seven years more upon the solicitation of Gov. Whitman and Chairman Oscar S. Sirio of the Public Service Commission to become chief counsel of the commission at $10,000 a year. In a surprising short time Judge Ransom, as chief counsel performed the task of reorganizing the law department of the Public Service Commission, and since his incumbency many victories have been won by the commission for the public's interest, due, in a large measure, to the important part played by its chief counsel.

"It is said that Mr. Mitchel cannot be elected and that Republicans should vote for the nominee of the party. My belief is that even if it were certain that Mr. Mitchel would be defeated, as it is not, good citizens moved" only by a desire for good government, should vote for him.

I come here to say a word for the man whom every Hunt and shadow Hun in New York hates, with the utmost bitterness. I am glad to see the sign showing that the East Side and the women and our fellow citizens of foreign birth are for Mayor Mitchel. I know what I am saying when I say that during the half century of municipal government we have never had as good an administration as this of Mayor John Purroy Mitchell. And now, friend, the man serves his party best who makes that party an instrument for serving the country well, and every man, of whatever party, Democrat, Republican, Socialist, Labor; every man who in the open backs Mayor Mitchell is by just so much helping his party organization? (I think) John Purroy Mitchell he is in the best Mayor we ever had, but I ask yet to stand by him because he stands in this city as the foremost, the most fearless, the most uncompromising embodiment of the American spirit. (Applause.) There is nothing fifty-fifty about his patriotism. He is straight United States. Nobody has any doubt where he stands. "He has had but two purposes in view, first, to serve the city in executive office, and next, to serve all of us by serving the nation as an American citizen and patriot. I ask you to see that we put in. for another term in office, that he give his life to the best man and ministeration it has ever had and the man who now in New York stands foremost as an embodiment of the spirit of true Americanism."
