In accordance with the instructions received, Miss Smith reported on October 15, and began her duties at Bellevue. After two days there, she was transferred to the Harlem Hospital. Upon reporting at Harlem Hospital Miss Smith was informed by those in Anderson, S.C.—Prof. M. H. Gassoway, for twenty year teacher and principal in the schools of Anderson, has been compelled to give up his school work and leave this community. He was president of the local branch of the N. A. A.-C. P., and the ignorant whites circulated the report that he was teaching intermarriages between the races. It is reported that, with his wife, Mr. Gassoway has gone to Cleveland, O. His is not the only enforced migration, as the Rev. Mr. Batchelor, pastor of a local church, has had to leave, going somewhere in Virginia. Mr. Timmina, editor of the local Negro paper, has gone to parts unknown, but is reported to be safely out of reach of his enemies. BRUCE EXOR OPPONENT Board of Education - Adopt Committee—Denounce BRUCE EXONERATED; OPPONENTS THREATEN Board of Education-Adopts Report of Investigating Committee—Denounced Parents' League.

Washington, D.C.—Members of the Parents' League, the organization of more than 20,000 members which has been trying for a year or more to cause the ensting from office of Roscoe Conkling Bruce, assistant superintendent of colored schools, were denounced by the investigating committee of the board of education, charged with making insidious statements in their testimony before the committee, and with being non-lawabiding citizens, in a report which exonerated and vindicated Superintendent Bruce. The report has been made public by the board of education, which adopted a resolution approving the report. The resolution pledged its support to Mr. Bruce in the administration of his affairs, promising to "protect his good name," and pointed out that the care shown by the committee and the soundness of its conclusions will be apparent in every "reasonable citizen of Washington." The majority report of the investigating committee, which was signed by Dr. H. B. Learned and Coralie F. Cook, not only given a detailed account of Bruce's life before his appointment here, but says that during his public service the testimony shows he has been a man of "right and fair intentions." However, the report adds that ministers have been made on his part; and now and again some degree of injustice through his failure to make simple direct statements may have been done. His would strengthen himself in the eyes of his subordinates' the report continues, "He naturally he could be a little less diplomatic in speech." Peyton's report, which took more than an hour to read, gave a resume of conditions which have existed in the colored schools under Bruce's twelve-year regime, and delved into his college career at Harvard and Tuakagoe Institute. Enraged over the character of the report, members of the league fired volley after volley of accusations at Dr. Learned and other members of the board, and told them emphatically the fight over Bruce's removal "had just begun." The league now plans to take its fight to the halls of Congress and demand a congressional investigation. LANGSTON PREDICTS VICTORY FOR ROBERTS Ralph R. Langston, campaign manager for Dr. Charles H.

This letter was signed by the general superintendent of training schools, and the stationery indicated that it was sent from East 26th street, New York, the office of Bellevue and Allied Hospitals. In accordance with the instructions received, Miss Smith reported on October 15, and began her duties at Bellevue. After two days there, she was transferred to the Hagstrom Hospital. Upon reporting at Harlem Hospital Miss Smith was informed by those in authority that injured nurses were not employed at that institution and her summary dismissal followed. This action was taken by the Harlem Hospital authorities, notwithstanding that only recently its doors have been opened for service by colored physicians and a Negro doctor appointed as interne. Because of this action by the hospital authorities, Miss Smith has engaged the law firm of Wheaton, Leavelle & Marshall, and through them instituted actions against Bellevue and Harlem Hospitals to compel them to observe the law. Miss Smith attended school in Columbia, S. C., being a graduate of the Howard High School and of Allen University, after which she entered Hampton for the course in nursing.

THE LATE COLONEL THOMAS HOUSEVILT Throughout the entire country men and women, white and colored, united on Monday, October 27, to celebrate the birthday of Theodore Roosevelt, who has been aptly named "The Greatest American." It was a fitting climax to the week's canvass made by the Roosevelt Memorial Association to raise funds to erect permanent memorials in honor of the former President at Oyster Bay, his late home, and at Washington. A flag was unveiled on Monday at the birthplace of Col. Roosevelt, 28 East 20th street, New York City, by the Woman's Roosevelt Memorial Association, and the information made public that $100,000 had been raised to renovate the building and restore it to its original condition to be maintained as a Roosevelt Memorial. In many of the churches on Sunday, special sermons were preached, the inspiration for them being gotten from the life and career of the man who stood for "All men up and no man down." Colonel William Boyce Thompson, president of the Roosevelt Memorial Association, announces that the membership campaign will be continued to accommodate many persons, not only in this but in other countries who desire to join. orably with that of the other candidates on the ticket. Leader John J. Lyons in an interview with Mr. Langston recently assured him of his support for a colored man for Congress next year. It will be remembered that Mr. Lyons delivered the full vote of his delegation for the nomination of Rev. R. C. Ransom when his name was presented to the congressional designating convention. members of the campaign committee looking after his interests is Peter Bough, a Negro leader of the 6th district. It is interesting to note that many of the cases prosecuted in New York County under the civil rights law, in which that law was violated by discriminations practiced against Negroes, have come before Judge Oppenheim and Mr. Langston says: "We cannot expect the support of white voters for our candidate if we fail in our, support of theirs. It is of vital importance that Miss Smith receives the entire Republican vote in the colored districts." HAWKINS ASKS SUPPORT ON HIS PAST RECORD John Clifford Hawkins, the Republican candidate for Assemblymag from the 21st Assembly district, is at present a member of the Assembly and is seeking re-election. He is self-made, having obtained his education by hard work and self sacrifice. He is a noted-exponent of and believes in a square deal for everybody. His ability as a lawyer and as a legislator is unquestionable. While the legislature was in session he made an exceptional vote which commands him to the public for re-election. He Hawkins is exceptionally popular among those who know him best. He is intelligent and is not given to making猜谜 which cannot be fulfilled. When approached by a majority of this paper he is able to make a prominent statement in respect. Every problem made by an up-to-date player, I learned in school. I am making a clean game and shall not carry on any guess. I am making a good guess by the help of my teammates and will be able to succeed if they help me. JUDGE SOL. OFFENSIVE JUDGE OPPENHEIMER Voters in the fifth municipal court district are being appointed to in behalf of Judge Sel Oppenheim, who is a candidate for nomination as a municipal court justice.

It is interesting to note that many of the cases prosecuted in New York County under the civil rights law, in which that law was violated by discriminations practiced against Negroes, have come before Judge Oppenheim and that substantial damages have usually been awarded against the violators. The 6th district is in the territory from 59th to 110th streets and from Lexington avenue to East river. EDITOR MOORE SPEAKS AT TRENTON MEETING (Spend Time To The New Yong Ace) (Special to The New York Age) Trenton, N. J.—It was a rousing assemblage of citizens which gathered on Monday night to hear Fred R. Moore editor of THE NEW YORK ACK, who came to speak in interest of the Republican candidates, Hon. Newton A. K. Bughee, candidate for governor; Hon. John E. Gill, candidate for state senator; William Lloyd Grover, candidate for prorogate; and Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange, candidate for the assembly. The Rev. Dr. Renatvee, who is doing splendid work in interest of the candidates, presided, and the speakers move Mr. Moore and Dr. Alexander. R was emphasized that Mr. Bughee is one of the best friends that Portsmouth Industrial School has and he has always stood for a sure deal for the Neuros. He gave words well to the colored people from the depth in community criticism. Mr. Bughee and other leaders were appointed as governors of the New York ACK. Des Moines Dailies Use Glaring Headlines and False Reports to Incense Whites. Das Mahn, Iowa.—That the white daily press is an active agent in the stirring up of race troubles was shown here recently in the abortive attempts of the Des Moines' papers to stir the whites to rioting pitch, following the killing of McCarthy, a policeman. TEXAS SHERIFF STOPS SELLING OF THE AGE Tells Travelling Representative that He Won't Stand for Its Circulation in His Community. According to advices received by The Age from one of its traveling agents there is a Texas sheriff who objects so strongly to the circulation in Texas of The New York Age that he has constituted himself a Board of Censors and in that capacity has issued orders to The Age representative to stop handling the paper in his community, accompanying his orders with the statement that "I won't stand for its circulation here." The business office of The Age has recently received orders from several of its resident agents in Texas, especially in the eastern section, cancelling their orders for papers each week, and asking to have the paper sent to them as individual subscribers. The conjecture aroused by these orders has been answered by the information received from Paris and Waco, Texas, telling of the action taken by the aforementioned Texas sheriff. The crime was charged to a "tall, dark Negro," and every colored person answering to that description was picked up by the police officer. When one man, who was thought to be the one wanted, was arrested, the papers carried the fact in glaring headlines that spread across the page, and declared that angry mob were gathering, when, as a matter of fact, there had been no demonstration of any sort. Pictures of the widow, with her two children, were used, and every article published had some insidious sentiment tending to anger the whiten. Finally, after several days of this newspaper propaganda, a small crowd of the lower element of whites did gather near the police station, but the better class of whites became active and the police authorities, after a change in the department had been made, soon cleared up the situation. Neighbors are Sticking Together. Immediate danger of a riot has passed but the newspapers have not changed their attitude and it is possible that may yet bring matters to a point where the lawless element will attempt to stage a demonstration. But the Des Moines Negroes are sticking together and the whites know it, so it is more than probable that no race riot will occur. One of the men whose influence is potent in creating favorable sentiment for the Negro is Herbert R. Wright, organizer of, colored work for the War Camp Community Service. His work is largely responsible for much of the recent progress of the race in this city, and he works constantly for the observance of law and order. Strong efforts are being made to induce the white editors to cease the vicious propaganda of which they have the directing force, and it can be seen that the whites are not so much inclined toward barbaric action as formerly. TEXAS SHERI SELLING' Tells Travelling Representat for Its Circulation According to advices received by T there is a Texas sheriff who objects so The New York Age that he has const in that capacity has issued orders to T the paper in his community, accompany "I won't stand for its circulation here." The business office of The Age has of its resident agents in Texas, expect their orders for papers each week, and an individual subscribers. The conject answered by the information received of the action taken by the aforementioned The Age's traveling representative writes that he was apprehended by one of the sheriff's gang, who wanted a copy of the paper for investigation. It was two weeks after this that the representative, "coming again into this sheriff's territory, was met by the sheriff himself and informed that the paper could no longer be circulated in that community. In his letter forfighting that information, the representative said: "Walt, there is one thing I felt good about. THE-AGE has been placed in every hole and corner in this country. Our people have been benefited through its investigation and it has put some people where it was badly needed. THE AGE CANNOT APPEND TO DIE HERE." Postmaster Questions Answer. That the effort to control the circulation of The Age is not confined to Texas is shown by another longer received from an agent thanked in a prosperous community in South Carrollton, or grown in which the fiction occupation is larger than the public and where for years the agent has been (Sponsored by Two New York Amt) Grand Rapids, Mich.—As a result of the refusal of a local cafeteria to serve the Rev. Wm. N. DeBerry, second assistant minister of the National Council of the Congregational Church, which is holding its biennial convening in this city, the National Council adopted resolutions denouncing racial discrimination of every sort. Following statements on the floor of the convention that the Rev. Mr. Derry had been released service because of her color, she Rev. F. C. McMillan of Chicago introduced a resolution denouncing Lynch law and asking for the Negro "racial and political rights guaranteed by the Constitution to every citizen," and "equal rights for equal service for the same." BUGBEE & ALEXANDER AT REPUBLICAN CLUB (Special to The New York Age) Orange, N. J.—On Monday evening, October 19, the Orange Republican Club gave a testimonial dinner to Hon. Newton A. K. Bugbee, Republican candidate for governor, which was attended by more than 600 persons, including a representative group of the colored citizens of the Oranges. Dr. Walter G. Alexander of Orange, one of the candidates for the Assembly, was seated at the speaker's table. Others at the speaker's table who devered addresses included Gov. Wm. M. Runyon, Hon. N. A. K. Bugbee, Senator Walter E. Edg, Hon. Warren C. King, State Senator Pilgrim, Col. Austin Colgate and Nicholas Murray Butler, president of Columbia University. OFF STOPS OF THE AGE tative that He Won't Stand on His Community.

In this case the agent was approached by the postmaster, who said: "I understand that you are selling the newspaper among the colored citizens that make an attack on Mr. James P. Byrne, the conspirator from South Carolina." The agent informed this questioner, so presumed of answering, that The New York Age was the paper he was selling and that he could read a copy of it at any time. Writing to the editor of The Age, this agent says: "You understand just what position I am placed in just now, but I hope it will be in a better position soon. I am going to leave the Smith. I am simply forced to do it." It is significant to note that this agent has not expended his order for this sale, but on the contrary has expended his order and will continue to pursue the conspirator from South Carolina. Young Surgeon Performs Notable New Operation Among those to distinguish themselves at the ninth annual session of the American College of Surgeons, held last week in New York, was Dr. U. C. Vincent of Bellevue Hospital, who, on Thursday, October 23, performed a new operation for varicocele before some of the most prominent surgeon in the country.

Philadelphia, North American Y. W. C. A. CENTER OPENED IN DETROIT (Special to The New York Am) Detroit, Mich.-The St. Aubin Center of the Young Women's Christian Association of Detroit, is probably one of the most worth while pieces of work launched by the War Work Council of the National Board. An interesting story of sacrifice and endurance lies back of the formal opening which took place October 18, 19 and 24, and permeated with the spirit of the Young Women's Christian association, the spirit of service. The first sacrifice was the breaking up of a boarding home for 50 white girls in order that a larger work might be carried on in that building among colored girls and women. Mrs. Cordella A. Winn, a special war worker from the National Board in New York was sent to Detroit to organize the center, and brought with her two workers whom she left in charge, Mrs. Mattie L. Johnston of Columbus, O., as executive, and Miss Olive L. Williams of Providence, R. I., as club, industrial and recreation secretary. The building was remodeled and redecorated from cellar to attic. Then began the task of equipping this large house of thirty rooms; soon Mrs. Johnston resigned to join her husband who had returned from overseas duty, but coming to take up her work was Miss Mabel L. Whiting, who was hostess at the Hostess House in Camp Funston. While the actual business of selecting and purchasing was performed by experts sent from the National Board for that purpose, the present completeness of every detail is the result of Miss Whiting's tireless efforts.

Throughout its offices, parlors, library, cafeteria, club room, rest room and recreation room, the dominant color note is the Association Blue. Around this note are woven harmonies and interchanges that always recur to the original motif, just as the spirit of the Young Women's Christian Association permeates all of the activities of its well rounded program. The constructive plan of recreation conducted by Miss Williams attracts girls in large numbers and has its results in the formation of clubs whose programs interpret the four fold development that is the goal of the Young Women's Christian Association—health, knowledge, service and spirit. Originally intended to serve girls in industrial life, the changing conditions of the community show that it can serve all girls equally well, and that in furthering the purpose of the Young Women's Christian Association, which is "to associate young women in personal loyalty to Jesus Christ," every class and type of girl finds common meeting ground. The presence of Miss Mary MacDowell of Chicago, and Miss Eva D. Bowles national executive secretary of colored work, made it a memorable occasion.

Although the Bellevue and Allied Hospitals have opened their doors to colored physicians as internes, the case of Miss Coral E. Smith would indicate that the management of the training schools is not ready to accept a colored woman as pupil nurse for a post graduate course. This inconsistency in policy would be puzzling if it was not so common. Judging from the facts noted, somebody in authority was bummed, and badly at that. Bellevue and its branches are public institutions, maintained out of the public funds of the city of New York, which are caused from white and colored taxpayers alike. No discrimination is made in the treatment of patients and there should be none made in the treatment of physicians or nurses. The policy of the municipal authorities has ended of late years toward the obliteration of any color line in city employment. No such reversal of policy as this incident would indicate should be permitted by the responsible heads of the department having control of those hospitals. THE CITY ELECTION Ordinarily in New York, City it is not regarded of very great moment whether the municipal machinery is run Republicans or Democrats. Under each party the taxes increase, while the provisions for public service and improvements remain about the same. While the offices to be filled this year are of minor interest, the are of importance because the President of the Board of Alderman and the Dorough President of Manhattan sit in the Board of Estimate and help make the budget. The amount of the budget affects taxes and rents and should interest every resident of the city. The woman voters have not exhibited the interest they should in these local matters, their registration falling short of last year by many thousands. However, it is well that the Republic beans should be represented in the Board of Estimate, and the fact that strong candidates have been named for these vacancies should result in their election. NEW JERSEY VOTERS The voters of New Jersey will vote this year for Governor, as well as for members of the Legislature and other State officers. The candidate for Governor, Hon. Newton A. K. Bingham, is well and favorably known among the colored voters of the State, having proved himself one of the best friends that the Horden-town Industrial School possesses. He has always stood for a square deal for the Negro and has aided the colored people who recently came to New Jersey from the South, to secure employment. The Republicans of New Jersey have also nominated a colored candidate for the Legislature in the person of Dr. W. G. Alexander of Orange. The voters of the race in New Jersey should give their hearty support to the whole Republican ticket. "A critic of the Post Office department, and their number is legion, terms the policy of the Postmaster General in dealing with the employees as "harsh and impugnably" with the result that it is now difficult to obtain men. As a result of this scarcity of help, it is trusted that "37 per cent of the new appointments in the New York post office are Negroes, many of them females." All of which goes to show that there is some truth in the old saw about it being an ill wind that blows no one good. Then it also shows that despite the hardships of the service, Ugle Sam can always rely on his colored nephews and nurses to help him out in an emergency. Every elected voter of Hawkins who desires to see the race come to the city government should vote for the Charles H. Roberts a remnant of the Board of Aldermen who voted to return Hawkins to the Assembly for another term. THINGS TO BE DONE. THINGS TO BE DONE. The Brooklyn Eagle does not believe that the assumption that the racial question is more dangerous to-day than it has been is well founded. In support of this belief it cites the remarkably economic progress of the Negroes during the past twenty years and the standing won by them, especially in Southern communities. It is further maintained that the race riots were due to reaction at the close of the war and were not due to increasing hostility. Whether this is true or not, there is a recognition of an important phase of the question in the following paragraph taken from the same article: There still remains many things to be done to insure "a square deal" to the Negroes. The housing conditions into which they are forced are a menace to the health of most cities. Germs are no respecters of persons and those breed in unsanitary Negro colonies attack the residents of mansions without sorrow. The improvement of these cities is of great way in which the whites could serve both the Negroes and themselves and could create that better race feeling, which tends to keep down violence. But the broad and hopeful fact is that the condition of the Negroes is growing better and not worse in this country. Point by point the justice of the race's contention for a square deal is being recognized and the ranks of those disposed to accord it are slowly increasing. This shows that there should be no relaxation of effort on the part of the race to win this campaign on all the points comprised in its list of wrongs. He righted. PREJUDICE AND PROFIT. A significant proof of the fact that race prejudice must yield when profits involved was given in the report made by the president of the Cooper's International Union at its recent meeting, held in New York City. President Hughes urged the delegates to enlist that employers were making race prejudice between white and colored coopers profitable. It was stated that the manufacture of slack barrels was largest in the South and that the product of this territory, claimed to be unorganized, is shipped into Northern markets thus coming into direct competition with organized Northern coopersage plants. While some of the Negro coopers in the South belong to labor unions President Hughes made the following appeal for a more perfect organization "We must bend our efforts toward unionizing our colored cooperies and stabilize in a comparative way their wage scales and working conditions. "We recognize the colored cooper equally as a producer of cooperage and guarantee to him the full protection of our organization on all matters affecting his daily working life." This recognition and guarantee of protection are due to the fact that the colored cooper is a necessary factor in the full unionization of the cooperage industry. It is for the colored cooperies of the South to decide whether the benefits that will result from their joining the union will justify such action in certain trades in the South Negro workmen have found advantages in unionism and their experience should be a guide to the cooperers. If unionism will bring increased earning capacity and better conditions of labor, the colored coopers of the South will probably accept this invitation RACE SUICIDE IN AFRICA RACE SUICIDE IN AFRICA That the women of a native tribe in Africa are practising a form of race suicide is the statement made by Lady MacKenzie, who has won a reputation as a mighty hunter and explorer. The reason for the practice she referred to was stated to be the fear of the women of the Masai tribe "that their children will be made slaves by the whites." She described her mission to a reporter as follows: After I have supervised the shipment to this country of a great store of trophies I shall visit the Masai, taking a complete surgical and medical outfit, including a doctor skilled in oculism. This race, a branch of the Zulu and one of the most remarkable tribes in Africa, is afflicted with an eye disease closely resembling trachoma. Unless this disease is checked speedily the whole tribe will be blind in a few years. I am hopeful of success in another mission. The Masai women are practising a form of race suicide in the fear that their children will be made slaves by the whites. Something must be done to make them understand that white people no longer make slaves of black people. We trust that Lady MacKenzie will be successful in both objects of her mission, but it brings an acute realization of the ravages of the white man in Africa when the determination of the Masai mothers to bear no more children as slaves is considered. The Age has pointed out to the voters of Harlem the opportunities offered them this year to elect fit representatives to the Legislature and the Board of Aldermen at the coming election. It is also its duty to indicate the equally great opportunity afforded to defeat an unfit candidate by refusing to vote for George W. Harris for Alderman. THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1, 1910 VIEWS and REVIEWS By James Weldon Johnson, Contributing Editor TERRORISM—HOW IT COULD BE MET. Terrorism is playing a big part in the South to-day. There is, perhaps, not a State in that section in which it is not being brought to bear on the colored people. This terrorism is being directed against the most shining marks it can find. It is the well-to-do, the prosperous and prominent colored man that is being terrorized. Several of the wealthiest colored men of Montgomery, Alabama, have had to flee for their lives. In two or three cities in South Carolina leading colored men have been forced to get out. From Jacksonville, Florida, comes the rumor that a number of leading colored men of that city have been notified that they must go. Of course, there is method in all this seeming madness; method with a double object. First, there is the intention of getting rid of as many of the leading spirits among the colored people as possible. This intention has back of it the expectation that with the leading spirits out it will be an easy matter to cow the masses into submission and to stamp out of them any and all of the aspirations they have, once and for all. It is thought that such an awful example made of these leading spirits will impress the masses with the futility of any efforts to rise to the plane of the white man's rights and opportunities. This plan does not take into consideration the fact that the new race spirit has permeated the masses, and often they are more determined than some of the leaders. Frequently, it is the leaders that act as a conservative brake on the masses. Some of these Southern communities are going to wake up to find that in getting rid of the leading spirits among the colored people, they are getting rid of the only element in the race to which they might appeal for the exercise of a conservative influence. Secondly, this plan has in view the securing for next to nothing of the property of prosperous colored men. When a well-to-do colored man is run out of a town and not allowed to come back, his property is virtually put on the auction block. Such a man will be confronted with the necessity of selling his property, and selling it, most likely, through some white agent in the town he has left. He will also find that he is lucky if he gets one-half or even one-third of what it is worth. What these men who are marked for sacrifice should do is difficult to say. It depends on the character of the individual men and the character of the various communities. There is no doubt that there are communities where an order for a colored man to get out would mean death if he refused to obey. It is also likely that a colored man too timid to show a determination to defend himself at all costs would meet with harm in any community which he was ordered to leave. However, we firmly believe that in nine cases out of ten an order "to get out" is a bluff; and we also firmly believe that if the bluff is called, in nine cases out of ten, the bluffers will lay down their hands. In one Southern city where several prominent and wealthy colored men were ordered to "run for their lives" an order was also sent to a colored preacher. The preacher sent back the following emphatic reply, "I'll be damned if I'll go anywhere." According to the latest news we have had he is still there. Although we do not get to church as often, perhaps, as we should, that preacher is one that we shall go to hear preach if we ever get the opportunity. And, yet, a man may say what he would do in a certain situation, but he does not know what he would do until he has the situation to face. So no one has a right to criticize too severely colored men who received orders to get out and who got out. This practice of terrorism which is now going on brings up again the question of the weakness of Negroes as individuals. No matter how rich or how well educated a Negro may be, he has not the strength as an individual to stand out against the combination of forces that are to-day being brought into play against the race. If a single Negro in a town is marked to go by the forces of prejudice and hate, perhaps go is the only thing he can do. He is up against a combination of forces, and he has no combination of forces back of him. He simply cannot stand in his individual strength. What should be the method of meeting the present reign of terror and all the other forces against the race? A combination of forces on the part of the Negro. Suppose the Negroes of the United States had in one efficiently conducted organization for the protection of their rights a million members—and a million is not more than they ought to have in such an organization—individual colored men who were threatened would not need to stand in their own puny strength, they could stand in the strength of organization. See how such an organization could be made to work now. Take the situation in Jacksonville, Florida, where it is reported that several prominent colored men have been warned to leave the city. Suppose the organization we suggest existed, and had, say, ten thousand members in Jacksonville—that is not too many for a city with more than sixty thousand colored people. The Jacksonville branch of the organization could say to the white people of the city, "We hold you responsible for the safety of these men, and we intend to see that they are protected." The declaration to protect the men who might be threatened need not necessarily be backed up by any show of physical force; and an organization of such proportions could bring enough industrial pressure to make good its declaration. Suppose they should say, "If these men are harmed or forced to leave the city, not a meal will be cooked, not a garment will be washed, not a team will be hitched, not a brick or a piece of timber will be moved, not a nail will be driven by any Negro until justice is done." That would be a general strike, and an organization such as we have been discussing would have the power to call it. We know of nothing that would be more effective. A threat by the Negroes in any Southern city to make the white people do their own work would carry greater terror than a brandishing of shotguns. THE SOUTHERN CREDO There has been heard a great deal of talk recently from timid, scared or venal colored men about the Southern white people being the best friends the Negro has in this country. We have pointed out who these men are and just why they talk as they do. It is to be noted that none of this sort of talk has been engaged in by colored women. We have yet to hear of a single colored woman being either frightened or bribed into forswearing the rights for, which the race has been fighting all these years or into lauding the well defined policy of oppression and injustice of the South as something satisfactory to the Negro and for the best interests of the race. And this fact about the colored women simply confirms us in the opinion we have before expressed in these columns, that it is the women who always have been and still are the mainstay and the chief hope of the race. Taken as a whole, the colored women are braver than the men and less liable to being bought off. They are more loyal, more self-sacrificing and more earnest as workers in all things pertaining to the welfare of the race. If there is any worthwhile movement among Negroes in this country which does not have to depend chiefly upon the women, to keep it going, the writer would like to hear about it. Getting back to our subject, what is there to all this talk about the Southern white man being the Negro's best friend? Absolutely nothing but bunk. It is true that certain Southern white men are friendly to certain Negroes. A white man of this class will lend a certain Negro money, will give him a job and will afford him a protection somewhat of the kind the old feudal lords used to afford their serfs. But this same white man while he is doing all this for a certain Negro because he looks on him as one of "my Negroes" will have not the remotest idea of according fairness and justice and opportunity to Negroes as a race, as men and women, as citizens of a common country. Perhaps there isn't a white man in the South who is not friendly toward, at least, one Negro. Even the men who lead mobs and lynchings and burnings at the stake, and even those—and they are the worst of all—who pass and maintain laws to rob and oppress the Negro race, they all have their certain Negroes toward whom they are friendly, whom they will help, to whom they will lend money and give a job. It is this seeming paradox in Southern character which misleads some colored people into thinking that, after all, the white man of the South is the Negro's best friend. We have heard colored men try to balance all the harm that Ben Tillman did to the race by pointing to the fact that he kept a colored foreman on his plantation in South Carolina. This is looking at the question through a pin hole. Ben Tillman used up the greater part of all the physical and mental strength he had in trying to keep the Negro race down. He used all the talent he possessed in ridiculing and vilifying and degrading the Negro race in the United States Senate and on platforms throughout the country. If Ben Tillman had been the benefactor of a hundred or a thousand colored foremen on as many plantations, it would not have been a counterbalance to his attitude on the Negro as a race. Regardless of all the cases of individual kindness and friendliness shown by Southern white people to certain colored people, it is clear to anybody with common sense that it is the firm intention of Southern white people as a class never to allow Negroes as a race to either enjoy the rights or become citizens or men in the fullest sense of the terms. An editorial in a recent issue of "The Shreveport (L.a.) Times" states the Southern credo on the Negro question as clearly as we have ever seen it put by one of that class of Southern, white men claiming to be the Negro's best friend. The whole article is written in a vein of friendly advice to the Negro, and by a writer professing to have the best interests of the race at heart. We should like to quote the whole editorial in order to show how a Southern white man who is utterly opposed to any development on the part of the race toward full citizenship and manhood can fool himself into believing that he is the Negro's best friend! But the whole article is too long. We, therefore, quote only the following paragraph: "We venture to say that fully ninety per cent of all the race troubles in the South are the result of the Negro forgetting his place. If the black man will stay where he belongs, act like a Negro should act, work like a Negro's could work, talk like a Negro should talk, and study like a Negro should study, there will be very few riots, fights or clashes. Instead of the 'societies' and 'unions' floating propaganda to 'lead' the Negro to 'independency' or to lift them up to the planet of the white man, they should foster education that will instill in the Negro the desire, and impress upon him the NECESSITY of keeping his place." There it is clear and plain. Those are the terms on which the white man in the South will be friendly to the Negro. There may be cases in which colored men feel that they are obliged to accept favors on these terms, however, they need not feel obliged to proclaim to the world that they are satisfied, and that the men who grant them the favors are their best friends. The Negro in the United States has got to face this fact: his best and highest future he has got to work out against and not with the present attitude of the Southern white man. We are not saying that there are not some individual Southern white men who have the best and highest future of the Negro in view, but they are so few as to be negligible. MUZZLE THIS HERO. Tirr Ack is just recept of the following letter, concernant the kind of speeches being made by exponent Henry Johnson, famous here of the old 15th New York regiment, which saw service in France as the 109th regiment, A. E. F. The letter explains itself. "I would like to ask if you do not think it about time that Sergeant Johnson, famed for his unequal fight with Germans in France, is out here here by Johnson in a few days ago in one of our churches. He prefaced the narrative of his famous fight with account of how the "old 16th" or the 369th wont from camp to camp in the United States attacking soldiers in the city, forcing their way into places where they knew they were not allowed; shooting up town; and acknowledging, generally, that he was just what our enemies like to charge Nogrow in unleashed with such monace peace of any community in which they happen to be. "To me his recital of the bulldoosh attitude of his regiment, especially in the South, was disgusting, but when, after telling how he killed Germans, he closed this part of his regiment, he told the white men I killed either—I killed a lot of white Americans (and our people really applauded this also, and in church). I really became alarmed, if it becomes known that our people approve of such remarks and such sations, then we lose the friendship of our friends, and there would be little prospect of any cessation of mob actions and riot riots. He really became ridiculous when he remarked that after doing what he had done if he were white he would be governor. He has undoubtedly been led to think such of what his people have said about him. The huddleful appearance in this church said that if white the horns would be blowing as announce him, etc. etc. "Just a few days before this Johnson appeared in, I did not hear him there. This church is one of the most popular churches in this town. Under if he was applauded there also. "Johnson is without question a hero; but he is not the only hero, he has valybelies, produced by the devil, and his ignorance and his lack of morality. We often complain that white people do not interest themselves in what the Negro is doing. It is quite fortunate for us that they do not hear what the Negro is saying, and do not see how he is being treated. For the ridicule to which we would be subjected would be worse than when it was said the Chicago Negroes wanted Jack Johnson made an alderman. Johnson is hurting us and The Age should be the paper to call him from the 'lecture' platform. He should be quelled." If the statements contained in the above letter are true, then Steercant a great favor by muzzling him to do him a foolish and indiscreet interruptions—Editor. A NATIVE HAITIAN'S OPINION To the Editor of The New York Ack. It would be impossible for me to express my appreciation for The New York Ack. Its arrival is looked forward to each week, and after a thorough reading there is always the feeling that one has had a delightful companion, which I had never had before, and I realize more all the time that to read The Ack is to be truly educated. Hence, it is needless to add, that in my opinion The Ack is the most valuable paper in the United States or education, and discuss the support of the men, women, and children should like to express appreciation of the editors and facts presented on present day discussions. S. JENNETT MINUS. Washington, D. C—A mammoth public meeting was held under the direction of Judge Robert H. Terrell, chairman of the national committee in charge of the work of collecting funds for the proposed memorial in honor of the late Col. Theodore Roosevelt, on Monday evening last, at the John Wesley A. M. E. Zion Church, 14th and Corcoran streets, where an opportunity was given the many colored admirers of Col. Roosevelt to contribute to this great popular movement to erect a permanent testimonial to his memory as a reminder to the coming generations of the most colossal statesman of his day. Addresses were delivered by the Bion John C. Dancy, Dr. Emnett J. Smith Judge Terrell and others. M. Waukee was rendered by the Amphibion Glee Club under the direction of J. Henry Lewis with a solo, by Mrs. Charlottie Wallace, and Dr. C. Summer Wormley. The Rev. W. C. Brown prospected the invocation and a number of Washington's leading pastors took part in the exercises. The appeal for a generous contribution was made by John K. Hawkins, secretary for the committee. Shelby J. Davidson, attorney at law who has been in charge of Y. M. C. A. work at Camp Dix, Wrightstown, N. J. since the entry of this country into the world war and who gave up a large law and real estate practice, has returned to the city with his discharge and will re-enter upon the practice of his profession. R. W. Thompson was the principal speaker at the closing-rally of the branch of the National Nexo Business League in Richmond, Va., last week. In the fifteen days' membership drive at Richmond, under the guidance of J. T. Carter, president, and Frank Howard Hallion, organization manager, the local organization more than doubled the numbers and a long step has been taken toward future growth, with a new headquarters in Sight and a detailed program outlined to bring all colored business factors into line for mutual advantage. The "Smarter Set" headed by Salem Tutt Whitney and J. Homer Tutt has been breaking all records this week.

BEAUTIFUL HOME WEDDING Montclair, N. J.—Miss Hilda A thea Peterson, only daughter of Mr and Mrs. J. E. Peterson, 11 Montaure place, was united in marriage to Frank Spencer, a prominent and popular young man of Ithaca, N. Y. at the home of the bride's parents. Thursday evening, October 23, at 6:30 p. m. The quiet home wedding was one of the most beautiful ever witnessed. The home decorations were most tastefully arranged. A bower of vio- lent flowers furnished an improv- sive marriage star to which the bride was led on the arm of her father. The groom was attended by his ultimate friend, Ralph Primus. The bride, unattended, wore gown of white georgette crepe and white satin. Her veil was arti- tively caught with orange blossoms and she carried a huge bunch of white chrysanthemum. The ceremony was performed by the family pastor, the Rev. J. Love, in the presence of a congi- crowd of relatives and friends. The many presents were both costly and appropriate for service and ornament. Among, them were a chest of silver from the grooms father, Frank E. Spencer, Sr., Ethica, a set of cut glass and silver filigree glasses, presented by Mr. Vernon Castle Tremon, a friend of the grooms' parents, and a half sheer silver table spoons from Ned Browne of Ithaca. Other presents from the assembled guests and those sent with best wishes for the young connoisseur presented a handsome tribute to the high esteem in which the young people were held by their friends. The new weddies have settled down in a well furnished cosy apartment in New York City where the grooms are engaged in business. Do Your Bones Ache, Your Joints and Muscles Swell and Pain You?

Francis Mores The Butter.....Allie Gorgas THERE have been several artistic triumphs at the Lafayette Theatre since the opening of the present theatrical season, but none has reflected greater credit on the Lafayette Players or the Quality Anusement Corporation than "A Fool There Was," which is entertaining the usual large audiences at America's most unique colored playhouse this week. The acting of Lawrence Chemaht, Abbie Mitchell and William (Babe) Townsend in particular may be recommended to Broadway playgoers without making a plea for charitable consideration on account of their color; and the scenery and costumes used are by far the most pleasing to the eye that have been submitted to Lafayette patrons this season. The outstanding feature of this week's presentation is the remarkable histrionic exhibition given by Lawrence Chenault, who makes the hit of his career before the footlights. Many of his admirers have all along declared that Mr. Chenault was the race's most talented leading man. If anyone has doubts on this subject let him witness a performance of "A Fool There Was" where Mr. Chenault as the husband reaches the peak of his dramatic endeavor, which stamps him as a finished actor. When a villain is hissed he usually takes this form of hostile demonstration, as a compliment to his work. Proceeding along a similar line of reasoning Miss Mitchell should have good reason to feel proud over her impersonation of a vampire. As the woman, she is a thirty-third degree "vamp" from whom Harlemites of that species can take lessons. Miss Mitchell never dressed her part better and were she to walk down Seventh avenue robed in the stunning gowns and hats she sports in "A Fool There Was" she would cause even a near-sighted man to look around more than once. As the friend, William (Babe) Townsend is very effective, playing the part with poise and conviction. Lillian Gillam has returned to the fold to the delight of her numerous admirers, and does the part of the child as no other member of the Lafayette Players can. Alice Gorgas is well cast as the sister and Susie Sutton is deserving of commendation for her work as the wife. Charles H. Moore, Thomas Moseley, Mattie V. Wilkes, Will A. Cooke, Barrington Carter, A. B. Conathiere, Harry Plater and J. Francis Moges give the principal characters in the play strong support. Go and see "A Fool Three Was" at the Lafayette this week, for you would be missing a treat if you did not see Lawrence Chenault at his best and hear Abbie Mitchell exclaim: "Kiss me, fool!" VANDERBILTS VISIT LAFAYETTE THEATRE Spending an afternoon at the Lafayette has been taken up as a fad by New York's 400, and the first distinguished party to visit this widely-known colored theatre was headed by Cornelius L. Vanderbilt on Friday afternoon last. The members of the party—both men and women—declared to Al Johns, who was responsible for their visit, that they enjoyed the song and comedy in "Hello 1919" and the intended making frequent trips to the Lafayette. The party remained until near the end of the last act, which was regarded as something unusual. Mr Vanderbilt and friends were most liberal with their aplause. "THE INVISIBLE FOE" AT LAFAYETTE NOV. 3 At the Lafayette Theatre next week another production dealing with the mysterious will be the offering. When the "13th Chair" appeared in Harlem a few weeks ago, patrons of the Lafayette Theatre thought it one of the most interesting mystery plays ever brought to the widely known Seventh avenue house. An unprecedented success was the result of the week's showing in this section, therefore it was natural for the Quality Amusement Corporation to look around and try to secure something akin to the "13th Chair." In "The Invisible Foe" the large clientele of the Lafayette will find something even more thrilling than its predecessor of thrills and mystery. In the coming production there will also be a touch of the supernatural, for death plays a big part and occult power is called upon to help develop the story. The half lights and shadows, the gloomy library designed by Urban, in which much of the action is passed, the pretense of the characters, such as colored actors will ascend—the incidents of the performance will help to add a sense of supernatural influences to a play that will undoubtedly appeal to hundreds of our people. Throughout there are interesting scenes and some that are truly engrossing. "The Invisible Foe" is so much more interesting than any play of its kind ever brought here, success is assured right from the start. In the cast will appear JamesH. Gray, Clarence E. Muse, Arthur Simmons, Charles Olden, Arthur T. Ray, Evelyn Ellis, Carlotta Freeman, Inez Clough and Rosa Lee Tyler. THEATRICAL JOTTINGS By Bob Slater Clarence Dotson is at Keith's Colonial, New York.

Petersburg, Va.—The first week's run of the two new colored theatres has not resulted in a very encouraging conclusion as to race support. Although the colored theatres are better in appointment and general equipment, on last Saturday night the four and most complex theatres in the city THE NEW YORK AGE, SATURDAY, NOVEMBER 1; 1919 had less than one hundred patrons present, while in the theatre conducted by white interests, colofed people stood and waited for seats. An infamous rumor has been circulated to the effect that one of the theatres is for the educated classes only Of course this is absurd. Then the price of admission to the colored theatres was more than at the white house; so these things among the pictures shows had been shown before at the white house. But probably the cause is due to the serials at the white house and when these have had their run the people will undoubtedly support their own. FOOTBALL TUSKEGEE WINS FIRST GAME. Tuskegee Institute, Ala.—Tuskegee Institute opened her football season with a score of 79 to 0 against the Industrial High School of Birmingham. The team outscored the opposing team in every department of the game because of her advantage in weight and training. Five minutes after the ball had been put in play Nofice went around right end for a touchdown. The team won the first half, their line of attack being line plunches and end runs. In the second half a few aerial executions were tried out with success. Hos, a new man, ran the team reminiscent of Willis, Cooly, Finley, Custerman, Johnson and Hill, also new men, did good work. Nobes (captain), Dixon, Myers, Williams and Baker have seen previous service. Stockton, Hawkins, W., Cooly, Kittie, Kittie, Anderson and Street, substitutes were sent in during the third and fourth periods. The visitors had a scrappy team with several clever tacklers and they took their defeat in a sportsmanlike manner. The contest afforded James Gayle, director of athletics, an opportunity to try out the variety of material which he has assembled, and the prospects for a successful season are bright. HAMPTON FOOTBALL SEABON ORENS Hampton, Va.-Hampton Institute opened its intercollegiate football season by defeating St. Paul School, Lawrenceville, Va., by a score of 25 to 0. The game was played on a wet field, which slowed it up considerably. In the first half Hampton scored three touchdowns, but during the second half the visitors played a much stronger defensive game, holding Hampton to one touchdown. At no time did the visitors get near Hampton's goal line. Both teams tried forward passing. Two of Hampton's touchdowns resulted from forward passes. The Hampton football aggregation this season is without the services of many of its former stars, who did not return to school. The team is composed almost entirely of new players. ST.
