Many of these writers, unable to vote in the New York City elections, are using their influence with friends who do live in the city to vote in the 19th A.D. urgently to support Mr. Moore's candidacy. A former resident of New York City, having lived here from 1900 to 1913, since which time he has given his attention to developing home possibilities in New Jersey and Zion. He is a member of Zion Main street, East Orange, N.J. writing telling why he thinks the election of Mr. Moore would be an inspiration to the Negro. His letter reads:
WARDRED CLUB
MR. PRED I M MOORE
Why I think your election to the Board of Aldermen should be an inspiration to our group of people in New York City:
Because you have fought their battles for the right, things and the right principles of life in the great city for the work for many years, free of charge.
Living in the City of New York for thirteen years, from 1900 to 1913, I do know something of the political situation in your city. I also realize the danger of the Tammany Hall Democrats; they are not democrats by custom or principle, bhit for the sake of jobs that Tammany Hall represents. Being president of the Third Ward Republic Club of East (Continued on Fourth Page)
Vote For Fred Moore
Mr. FRED R. MOORE:
The end of the campaign is drawing near, when this coming Tuesday, the 8th, the crucial political test will be applied to the race group in the 19th Aldermanic District, New York City.
My earnest wish is that you will be successful in your candidacy.
I read the issue of The Age that one of your friendly correspondents, writing from Corning, N. Y., states that "We are all praying for your election." GOOD!
We are told in James.5116, "The effectual prayer of the righteous valleth much." While this is unquestionably true, I do not believe PRAYER without WORKS will succeed with any more than Faith without Worship.
I trust, therefore, that your friends and others will get busy between now and next Tuesday and take nothing for granted.
If any race man, in your district, personally differs with you on any issue whatever, let him now forget and go to the polls and vote for the greatest good to the greatest.
Friend Moore, you being one of the F. F. V. s., I hope you will be able to corral every man in the Old Dominion colony in Harlem in your interest.
As to my Tar Heel brethren in the same bailiwick, I am going to FRED MOORE, a man who is honest and dependable; and, moreover, one has the courage to stand by his commitment, remaining steadfast for what he believes to be right, regardless of the consequences.
I, however, any of you prove
I want in this political contest, I
will pardon me for saying
that I more wish to see any
such of you in North
North State, where you well know,
then though you may be qualified,
you are deprived of the privilege
and right to elect a member of our

office, whatsoever I hope I
have made myself plain in the
presence. NO, DO YOUR DUTY!

All voters desiring instruction in use of the voting machine are urged to go to rooms of the Association of Trade and Commerce, 2370 Seventh avenue, and the law offices of French and French, at 139 West 135th street.

DEMOCRATS USE NEGROES FOR THEIR OWN UNDOING
DEMOCRATS USE NEGROES FOR THEIR OWN UNDOING
Negroes should vote for all of the Republican candidates on Election Day, November 8, and put a stop to the Democrats' game of playing Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde with them in relation to their progress and welfare. We submit the following for your consideration:
Governor Alfred E. Smith, a Democrat, will not appoint a Negro to an important office because he is afraid the South will be against him for President in 1928.
Mayor James J. Walker, a Democrat, while visiting in Rome, Italy, objected to French Negroes dancing with white women in a cabaret.
Justice Leon H. Abrams, a Democrat, sitting in the 7th District Municipal Court, Manhattan, has insulted Negroes on numerous occasions in his Court.
The 7th District takes in all of Harlem, from 110th street, west of Fifth avenue, to Spuyten-Duyvil. A Negro Judge should be elected to this Court.
There are a few Negro preachers and lawyers of the "jack-leg" type who will earn a little change during the campaign for giving expression to views favorable to the Democratic candidates, but no race or group of people will ever rise high in the public regard, or take a place alongside of men and women who think and act from principle, as long as they permit themselves to be used for their own undoing!
CHARGE TAMMANY HALL WITH ATTEMPT TO USE MONEY IN EFFORT TO WIN HARLEM VOTE
More and more evidence comes to light daily to show that Tammany Hall Democracies are planning the expenditures of large sums of money in the 19th Assembly and Aldermanic Districts in the hope of controlling the Negro vote. And steps are being taken by the Republican leaders to forestall any attempt at debauching the voters of this community.
Tammany Hall, as represented in Harlem, is on the run. And the voters will resent the polls any intimation that they are venal and ready to be seduced by taking money for their suffrage.
"Show the Tammany henchmen that this slur on the integrity of the voter is resented," is the word heard in all sections. "Show them that you regard the ballot as an instrument to be wisely used for the advancement of rights and that you will use it for the best interest of Harlem."
Tammany Hall, as represented in Harlem, has no respect for the voter—it has broken faith. it has dissipated the United Colored Democracy; it cares nothing except to climb into power through your suffrage.
Gov. Smith Insulted Race.
Governor Smith, who is active United States, has given the Negro regime in Albany. He ignored the called on him last June to urge the telling them frankly that 'it was not other city officials were against it.' The Committee was composed should remember the insult had terror and vote them out. And now Governor Smith has get busy and work to win control elect all Tammany Democrats.
Governor Smith, who is actively a candidate for President of the United States, has given the Negro no kind of recognition during his regime in Albany. He ignored the committee of Harlem citizens that called on him last June to urge that he sign the Municipal Court Bill—telling them frankly that it was not wanted and that the Mayor and other city officials were against it.
The Committee was composed of outstanding citizens. The voters should remember the insult handed this body by Tammany's Governor and vote them out.
And now Governor Smith has issued orders to his henchmen to get busy and work to win control of the State Assembly and to reelect all Tammany Democrats.

The Late FLORENCE MILLS
Brightest star in Theatrical Firtism is Dimmed by Death's Murky Miracle
PASSING OF MISS FLORENCE MILLS Noted Actress Dies At Heighth Of Career; Ill Only 8 Days
One month after her return home follow the biggest triumph ever won by an American actress abspread. Florence Mills, premier Negro actress, died Tuesday morning. November 1, at 4,15 o'clock, at the New York Hospital for Miss Diane. Miss Mills was suffering from a run down condition following her strenuous work in Paris and London, and entered the hospital on Tuesday, October 25, for what was annacued as a slight operation. Until Monday, the reports from her bedside were that the operation was successful and she would be able to return home within a few days. When the news of her death flashed through New York Tuesday morning, the entire city was shocked. Florence Mills, never of a very robust constitution, literally worked herself to death, is the opinion of her friends. Beginning as a member of the original Shuffle company in 1922, Miss Mills worked continuously until her death. She achieved a win in New York that made her services in great demand and it was to satisfy this increasing public that she worked incessantly.
Managed by Lew: Lealie.
After a time in "Shuffle Along," she went under the management of Lew Leslie and on her popularity he established the Plantation Revue in a part of the old Winter Garden on Broadway. For more than a year she held forth as the star of this revue. Then Leslie took Miss Mills—and her company to London in a revue which he called "Dance in Dixie." After a few months abroad with this production she returned to America—to star in another revue by Al-Woods, "From Dixie to Broadway."
Her greatest success was achieved in Lew Leslie's "Blackbirds," which first played to Miss Mills' own people of Harlem at the Alhambra Theatre. For six weeks she played at this big house. Then Leslie took the show to Paris where it was immediately hailed as the greatest American revue to French capital. It played to captivate audiences in Paris for five months. Then it was taken to London, where it held forth for six more months. In London the Prince of Wales is said to have been captivated by
TAMMANY PLAYED FOR INSINCERITY IN ITS PLATFORM Rendall Church Members Hear Candidates For Various Offices
A two weeks celebration in honor the eighth anniversary of Rendall Memorial Presbyterian Church was started Sunday evening October 0, with an interesting program which addresses were made by prominent political and civic leaders. The occasion was programmed as "Community Night." After invocation by the pastor, the Rev. Thomas J. B. Harris, and a selection by the Rendall choir, Mme. D. W. Harvey, organist, the meeting was turned over to Andrew M. Robinson, a prominent member of the St. James Presbyterian Church presbyterian Mr. Robinson told the establishing of both the St. James and Rendall Churches and complimented the members of Rendall on the progress they are making. He called on the following speakers: Hugh R. George, investment broker; James H. Hubert, secretary of the New York Urban League; Judge John R. Davies, candidate election as Municipal Court judge; James H. Hubert, Democrat candidate for the Assembly Assemblyman Abraham Grenthal, Republican candidate for re-election; and Fred R. Moore, Republican candidate for Alderman.
Tammany Hall Scored.
Judge Davies scored Tammany Hall for insincerity in its advocacy of a non-partisan judiciary. He called attention to the fact that both he and Judge Sidney C. Grainie had served full terms on the bench and received the endorsement of Association and leading civic organizations, but Tammany Hall had refused to represent them on the non-partisan basis. Assemblyman Grenthal and Attorney Hall are caidulates for the same office and both presented the credentials to the voters present. In addition, Mr. Grenthal charged that his opponent was putting out the false report that he was not a resident of the district. Moore congratulated the church for its anniversary and recited some of the reasons for the Republican. Mr. George made a special plea for the support of Moore and Judge Davies in the election, November 8.
Voters in the 21st A. D., are urged to support the candidates of Felix Unger State Assembly, and John Clifford Hawkins, for member of the Board of Aldermen. Both are experienced and well-equipped for performance of duties attaching to the respective offices.
COL. THEODORE ROOSEVELT AND U.S. ATTORNEY TUTTLE SPEAK AT REPUBLICAN MASS MEETING Refuge Church of Christ Is Scene Of Big Republican Rally; Moore And Grenthal Get Big Welcome
Col. Theodore Roosevelt and United States Attorney Tuttle were the principal speakers at a bishop Republican mass meeting at the Refuge Church of Christ, Elder R. C. Lawson, pastor, Monday night October 31. The meeting was under auspices of the Republican organization of the 19th Assembly District and the church was filled to its capacity with voters from all sections of the district.
RESELECT HIM!
Col. Roosevelt drew thundersheers from the audience when he recounted some of the evidence in insincerity on the part of Tammann Hall, and when he said that Governor Smith wanted to proclaim himself a sincere friend of the Negro groups in New York, let him suffer treatment, for the ex-soldier and other members of the race in the South. He said that the Governor would not speak out against discrimination inside the Negro by while proclaiming of the South for he knew that a portion of the country would not support his Presidential aspirations if he showed friendship for the group of American citizens.
Plea for Harlem Judges.
U. S. Attorney Tuttle made plea for the support of Justice Davies and Justice Grane of the 7th Municipal District. He pointed out that Governor Smith had

WILL SMITH RUN?
By HART LYTTON.
It's a long, long trail to the 1928 campaign, but the Presidential political pot is seething like a witch's caldron.
Far from being an off year, the present local campaign, with its increasing entangling issues, bids farewell all previous presidential candidate in point of partisan bitterness and nullification of the people's rights.
The Wise Men of Gotham are muddied.
In Presidential years New York State is safely Republican. It is conceded by the supposed wise political prophets to be not even reasonably debatable, but out of a clear sky comes the lightning flash that consumes the religious and wet insignia and from the snowdust pyre rises the figures of Teapot Done and the Knapp census exposure.
Country Is Wondering.
The whole country is wondering what the answer will be, and asking if these two issues have not been raised as a smoke screen to befuddle the local voter as to how he is being deprived of his rights of suffrage in the local campaign. Young Teddy Roosevelt, in his conversation, speech, and the political knife of "Ruby" exposure into Governor Smith to the Smith, retaliated with the Knapp census scandal inquiry, and the Supreme Court aids with the Tepat Dome oil decision. Hon. Josephus Daniels, President Wilson's Secretary of the Navy, throws more fuel under the boiling pot with the suggestion that the Democrats should next year wage a militant and brilliant campaign against "Dollar Diplomacy" by a frontal attack on Republican ranks. He charges that the houses of Morgan and Mellon control the international and taxing policies of the Government, and that the diplomatic policies have created dislike and distrust of the United States, nationalization in the world, including China. But to offset Secretary Daniel's charges, rises to plague the political rises: the voice of President Roosevelt from the grave, again castigating the "malefactors of great wealth," meaning those to
(Continued on Second Page)
Col. Roosevelt drew thunderstorms cheers from the audience, when he recounted some of the evidences of insincerity on the part of Tammany Hall, and when he said that if Governor Smith wanted to prove himself a sincere friend of the Negroes in New York, let him urge fairer treatment, for, the ex-colleagues and other members, of war-taken race in the South. His answer that the Governor would not dare attack the enemy against disrespectful insurrection, the behalf of the South for he knew that section of the country would not support his Presidential aspirations if he showed friendship for this group of American citizens.
Plea for Harlem. Judges.
U. S. Attorney Tuttle made a plea for the support of Justice Davies and Justice Crane of the 7th Municipal District. He pointed out that Governor Smith had championed a non-partisan judicial when he wanted the Republican party to endorse Democratic judges but refuse to carry one this policy when it came to these two Republican judges, whose splendid record entitles them to support from all citizens, regardless of party. He also pleaded for the voters to elect Moore and Grenthal.
Collector Charles W. Anderson presided, and in his introductory remarks took occasion to compliment the candidacy of Fred R. Moore to the voters. The enthusiasm of the audience reached a high pitch when Mr. Moore arrived. He was escorted to the platform by the Young Voters' of Harlem, an organization of which Attorney Myles A. Paige is the head. There was also a great deal of enthusiasm for Mr. Grenthal. He was last speaker on the program, and past eleven when he hegan his address practically all the audience remained to hear him.
Other addresses were made by Former Congressman Martin C. Ansorge, who is a candidate for Supreme Court Justice; Judge Sidney C. Crane and Judge John R. Davies, candidates for re-elections as justices of the Municipal Court.

Reelect Judges Crane, Davies and Panken Of The Municipal Court
Judge Jacob Panken of the Municipal Court, Third district, New York City, who is a candidate for reelection on the Socialist ticket, is a member of the race living in his trist. He is a friend to all in the Municipal Court, often referred to as "the poor man's court." Judge John R. Davies and Judge Sidney M. Crane, Republican candidate, should have your unqualified support. They, too, are your friends.

All members of the race living in Kings County, Brooklyn, will should cast their vote for Refresh, which will candidate for Judge of the County Court, Kings County.
An outstanding lawyer, Mr. Perry will make an outstanding judge. Regardless of your party connections, you should give support on Election Day. November 8.
During the war an old gentleman of means devoted his time to work his assistant to Red Cross welfare workers on the micrars at the Port of Embarkation, Hoboken, New Jersey. His work was unceasing; his interest alive, his ambition was to be service to the vast army who passed through the port on the way to France. So, too, the work of the teachers of the public schools is unceasing their interest alive, and their ambition is to be of service to the vast army who pass through the public schools on the way to their work. The teachers are endeavoring to reach the parents of the children to awaken their interest and to seek their cooperation in school so that the children may be better prepared for their life work. The teachers believe that mothers would take more active interest if they knew, in a general way, how to assist the teachers of their children. In this article I shall confine myself to the subject, "How Mother Can Help the Teachers of the Sixth Grade."
While these suggestions apply especially to the sixth grade, mothers who are interested will find ideas that can be applied to their children who may be in other grades.
See that your child attends school regularly and that she comes from school may mean loss of promotion. Loss of promotion discourages the child and discouragement often leads to truancy. When your child becomes a truant, she is a problem of the school and to you. Parents can valuably assist the teacher by preventing the child from becoming an illegal absentee. Try to establish the habit of regular attendance in the child when he is in the lower grades. By the time the child reaches the sixth grade, the habit will be so well established that it will become automatic.
II. HEALTH.
Parents will assist their children by following the advice of the school doctor. They should acquaint themselves with the steps to be taken about decayed teeth, adenoids and consils. If the doctor recommends the use of glasses for the child, the parent should promptly follow his advice. Find out where the clinics are located and make use of them. You cannot expect unhealthy children to do efficient work in school. It handicaps the child and discourages the teacher when the parent fails to cooperate in this matter.
III. HOME STUDY.
The sixth grade child has homework. Will you please see that she does it?
But first will you see that it is possible for her, to do it? Have you a quiet room where she may study without interruption? Has the child proper equipment with which to work? It is impossible to expect her to study if she is not assisted along these lines. If you are interested in her progress, you will carefully inspect her report card. Become acquainted with her teacher and confer with her concerning your child's progress. Teachers are always pleased to do this.
IV. ACTIVITIES
Are you interested in how your daughter spends her leisure time? This is a very important matter and one which needs your utmost cooperation. The school authorities select the best literature for your child to read during her leisure moments. Do you see that she reads? Do you supervise her reading at home?
Do you give thought to the companions she has? Do you exercise judgment in the selection of the movies or the theaters that she attends? Do you encourage her to become a member of some good athletic club? Are you careful to see that she gets the proper amount of outdoor exercise? Does she spend her ewings in her home and does she retire early? She needs rest. Your assistance along these lines greatly helps her teacher.
Do you give your child an allowance? In the sixth grade, it is necessary for her to buy-material for her sewing activities. She really should subscribe for "Current Events" magazine. This little magazine helps to keep her informed on the important topics of the day. She is often asked to contribute to worthy causes as the "Red Cross" and others of similar nature. Giving to worthy causes socializes your daughter.
V. COMMUNITY SPIRIT.
The schools are trying to develop the community spirit. Children work in groups to accomplish a definite result. The very success of our children in later life depends upon their ability to work with others, to do well the past for which they alone are responsible, and at the same time, to do it in such a way that it will blend harmoniously with the work of others. So can we expect you, our parents, to extend to the children a good example? Can we expect you to cooperate with us?
VI. PARENT ASSOCIATION.
Do you belong to the parents association? You are interested in your children and in the community in which you live. Show a 100% spirit. Join this association. Become acquainted with your principal and teachers and neighbors. Blend your work harmoniously with ours and your children will show the results.
A novel and interesting mother's meeting was held in the kindergarten of P.S. 5, Manhattan, last Friday afternoon. After a brief introductory address by Sidney A. Swartz, principal of P.S. 5, the kindergarteners, Miss Smith and Miss Landau, had the 40 mothers present, go through the regular work of a kindergarten class. They begin with the salute to the flag and singing of "America". Then they pumpkins out of paper and colored them; played kindergarten games and sang some songs that their children had learned during the day.
The mothers entered into the spirit of the occasion quite eagerly and all declared that they had not enjoyed themselves so much in years.

rose in their might, and after a severe contest with hireling troops, stormed the Bastille. The French revolution had begun.
Ours is a contest, not beginning with the storming of a Bastille, but destined to end only with the overthrow of those forces which challenge my election to the County Court and the election of my comrade. I am not unmindful of the difficult perplexing character of the campaign made, to justify the wisdom of my designation to head of the Socialist candidates in Kings County. Nor am I insensible of the subtle
(their state, being surreptitious to
ahim, the force of the argument
ye, adversary as, bad, for the
people's confidence, in but cause,
and an acceptance of its principles
as their rule of political action.
Full well I know that a majority of the people of our County, impressed by the beauty and obvious ways of the capitalist, can describe the heathate to throw off the yoke under which they are held by the magic of this influence. And it is for us Socialists to labor among them, and spread the message of Socialism, before them, that they too may be enlightened of its blessings, and induced to accept its principles as their rule for political action, not by that physical force, with which we are employed, but by speaking it in emotional appeal to the human mind, in such portions as to dissolve the false doctrine of individualism and capitalism in our midst; by the natural and irrestible affinities of reason.
Serving-A Common Master
Differing little in audacity from that which sustained the Bastile in France, both of the major parties striving in the interest of a common master, have sought for years to make labor subservient to the will of capital, and the eating of our bread by the sweat of the brow an axiom in the material existence of the working man. And so, both consider any philosophy that has the proper adjustment of the relationship to the economic and industrial world, idealistic in form, false in principle, and its prophets disturbers of the public peace and safety.
Forgetting the checkered history of parties and that no single theory of civil polity will remain for any length of time against the opposition of a minority whose aim is to adjust the living of man, both assume that-the inlier in the economic world is to be considered means to avoid and so give the war confronted with industrial injustice to the wage earner, more properly called wage slavery, which inclines me to consider it in relation to its co-evil, chattel slavery.
Making Brothers Enemies
For years prior to 1820, the chatel slavery question in America became acute, and during the Presidency of Monroe, when Missouri presented her petition to Congress for admission into the Union as a slave state, a bitter verbal warfare ensued between the North and South, until it culminated in the War of 1861, when a member of the country holding man of humble being, the other considering him a thing; and bitter enmity was created in a few moments between former friends.
The seed of capitalism had been sown and was soon to yield a harvest in the reaping of which an ocean of blood and tears were to be shed. Henry Clay succeeded in passing the Missouri Compromise, which forever excluded slavery in that portion of the country which lay north of 36 degrees 30 degrees north ofitude, in the slave state. The Compromise was regarded as a final solution and settlement of the question, and was such for 30 years.
The Dred Scott Decision
New Mexico asked admission to the Union in 149, and Texas, through capitalism, set up a western boundary line which again threw the county into trouble and ended in the Compromise of 1828, which granted Pennsylvania, a Democrat, with southern tendencies, was elected President, and in this year Dred Scott, a slave, who claimed his freedom by being carried by his master from Missouri to Illinois, free from the Compromise, and in the Missouri Compromise, had his appeal heard in the U. S. Supreme Court; and those Justices, wearing the mantles of capitalism, rather than the robes of justice, uttered through its Chief Justice Taney, its judgment which he issued to it on the status of a thing, a chattel, merchandise to be bought, sold or traded, holding:
In the opinion of this Court the legislation and histories of the 'times', and the language used in the Declaration of Independence shows that, neither the class of persons who had been imported as slaves nor their descendants, whether free or not, were acknowledged as part of the people. They had for more than a century been regarded as an order, and altogether unfit to associate with the white race, either in social or political relations; and so far inferior that they had no rights which a white man was bound to respect, and that the Negro might justly and lawfully be reduced to slavery, for his benefit. He can be bought, sold or traded, and treated as an ordinance of the state and traffic, wherever a profit can be made of it. This opinion is fixed, in the civilized portions of the white race, and is regarded as an axiom in morals as well as in politics."
A Damnable Influence
There, my friends, stands chatteel slavery and its damnable influence as it then stood; unmasked; unprotected in the highest tribunal f justice under-capitalism: heartless, grasping, tyrannical; with the death of the king denounced by Cicero, and a meaness beyond that of a Judas, denounced by the civilized world. But time at last sets all things even, and the Civil War determined that man was an end in himself; Thomas Carlyle that "might makes right" could not remain longer in our system of government. Chatteel slavery being thus eradicated, the capitalist turned his attention to exploitation in another field, and labor was attacked with wage labor.

that all the work of the industrial industry should be adjusted. The industrial injured that clusters honest labor is like villainous as was chanted lavery. In antiquities, the bobcadian in proportion to his value as a wealth producing machine—a thing; and each man is employed as a means to another's end; and in each the ylicious philosophy of Thomas Carlyle, that "might makes right is exempt of labor, of laborary hours, of labor, slave wages, and the conversion of that labor into wealth for its explorer, is just so many hours of ease and contentment for the Capitalist."
The Great Injustice
And here is the real insinuation of the system; that man, who is designedly and constitutionally, an end in himself, is reduced to the status of a thing, a means to another's end. And it must end, as all injustice does end; just as chastity is savery indeed; for against it is the human heart; against it is the human heart; against it is mature, in all its subtle forces, against it is the law of self-preservation; against it is right; and finally, against it is Socialism, and in the end it must conquer. And the cry is the appeal of Danton, in the French constitution. "To Conquer we have but to dare, to dare again," Always to dare, and we shall
Always to dare, and we shall conquer"
conquer.
Judge, exemplified capitalism and with all his gold, drawn from the toil, the sweat and blood of labor, was a queer specimen of humanity beside Eugene Debs. Both lived and died among us. The one strove to amass great wealth at the expense of labor, and succeeded in breaking a strike with Negro scab labor, and thus jive lived and died with none to injure his departure. The other lived and battled for the uplift of humanity to lift the weary toiler to a higher life, and to live with life with the living; and thus he lived a noble life and died a noble death, which is life's chief concern. Great was his glory, in not falling short of the natural character that belongs to the Socialist.
Flesting and Forgotten
Full well I know how fleeting and soon forgotten are the lessons taught by death; the gay will laugh the solemn broom of care plod on, and each one as before pursues his favorite phantom; but long, long years will pass before the pleasant memories of the life of Daisy Duck. And having a community of interest and deainy with those remaining comrades who have so signally honored me, I here pledge the remainder of my days—striving with them—to uphold the principles for which he lived and died; dedicating whatever of talents I possess to the aims, hopes and aspirations of Socialism, by attacking the evil forces of capitalism in the highest and labor rises where it is lowest, till both find a common level in our community.
Into the hands of the toilers,
therefore, with the most affectionate
confidence in their virtue, do I
commit these precious hopes. Even
I may live long enough yet to
see the approaching completion, if
not the perfect accomplishment of
them. Please shall I then design
the scene to filter actors: please
shall I then lay down my weared
and garbed coat, and I shall
leastest thy servant depart in
peace, according to Thy word, for
mine eyes have seen Thy salvation."

New Bridgwick, N. J. The central figure in the trial of Beasle Morse, charged with conspiracy to murder her weakly, father, George F. Morse, her sister, Mrs. Elmer Dey; the latter's husband, and their foster son, Raymond Britton, that she might come into possession of her father's fortune, was her colored maid, Mamle Todd, who is also on trial as an accessory. Mits, Mabie, was inflicted after desecration, poisoned as gunmen and disliked with the maid, representing her employer, to kill the aged man and other members of the family. Mr. Morse, who has come to a natural death since that time, did not believe his daughter had conspired against his life and provided ball for her release. And at his death, it was found that he had left half of his $100,000 estate to her.
Used As A Go-Between.
When the case was called in County Court on Monday, attorneys for the Morse woman moved a dismissal of the indictment, but the motion was denied by the court. Mamie Todd, was the first witness called by the prosecution, and she declaimed that Miss Morse would arrange for the wholesale killing. The -maid testified that she had gone first to William Chasey, fish dealer, suggesting that he could make an easy $1,000 by hiring gunmen to kill four persons. Chasey, she said, had introduced her to the man whom, she knew only as Alice, had been a gunman, to whom she had paid $200, warning them that this was to be a job for an undertaker and not for a hospital.
Washed Money in Alcohol.
She asserted that she had received the money from Miss Morse who had washed each hill in alcohol and wrapped the lot in brown paper, in order to prevent any finger prints from showing on them. She herself had worn rubber gloves, she said, when she handled the money, still wrapped in brown paper, to Mickey and Alec. To Miss Morse, she declared, had borrowed the money, part of it from Thomas F. Burke, an undertaker of Perth Amboy, and the rest from Cornelius McCrellis, of Highland Park. Counsel for Miss Morse, who was the witness on the statements of the witness on the ground that she might have been undertaking the enterprise quite independently of Miss Morse, but each time the woman outshouted the attorney, several times declaiming, that she did not approve of murder myself.
Maid's Story Coeroborated.
Chasey, the fish dealer, whom she had selected as murder broker, had similar scruples, it appeared for he went straight to the Prosecutor, he testified, with the information gained, from the Negro woman. The Prosecutor assigned to him two detectives, John Krueger, who was introduced to Mamile Todd as Alec, and George David, who was introduced as Micky. Krueger and David corroborated Mamile's odd story to their meeting, and he had with her bombing the Morshe house, blocking the road when all the victims were out for an automobile ride and shooting them when they came to the harrife and ramming their motor car with a truck Burke testified to Lending Miss
Morse $200 and McCrellis
ing $105.
Jury. Acquits Both.
Beate Morse certified on Tuesday, defying all of the charges contained in the jungle "Todd's evidence. The jury, after summation by counsel for both sides," said charge by the Judge, "deliberated for two hours and twenty-five minutes, then brought in a verdict, quitting both mistress" and "maid on the charge of, conspiracy to murder."
Another indictment charges adding in a conspiracy to murder, and this still pends. Morse is under $10,000*bail on this indictment, while the maid is released under her own recognition. It is believed that, Prosecutor Toolan will ask the dismissal of this charge.
WILL SMITH RUN?

whom Josephus Daniels refers as controlling our international policies and fixing out taxes. Dense as this political smoke screen is it cannot hide very long the local issues of this campaign such as housing, taxation of the colored electorate without representation, and denying the right of suffrage to thousands of voters for partisan purposes.
"Aman Corner." Agog.
The political "Amen Corner," both in. Washington and New York, are all agog' over a rumor that will not 'down,' and which seems to be gaining ground, even though Governor Smith has begun his threatened tour of the State to oppose the constitutional amendment for a four year term for the Governor with the State election, falling the same year as presidential elections. Will Smith run? is the whispered inquiry frequently hard where politicians gather.
Will Rogers, wanked, to bet that President Coolidge would run. He named the sum of $5,000 as the amount he would bet. William Randolph Heath, not wishing to the outdone as a political prohet, took up the offer and laid $10,000 to the $5,000 of Cowbill Bill, that President Coolidge would not run. Now the sporting fraternity, who politicize inside, are showing a deal to the president, making inviting, to wager that Governor Smith will not run. Strange to say a rumor is gaining ground that the New York Governor withdrawn from the field of presidential candidates is not beyond the range of possibilities:
Two reasons are given as authority for the rumor. They are Smith's poor, health, and the widening split in *Tammany Hall* between the Smith and Walker faction. It has been kept a secret for a long time from the public, like the political rumors it has finally filtered through the political barrage into non-majestic land, and will soon create a brainstorm among the $\textcircled{9}$ Democratic electorate.

That we have a Governor, as Alamy, and a Governor, as Alamy, and a Governor, Mayor, sitting in the City Hall of the City of New York City, the authority and, wield wide influence authority and, wield wide influence With two officers, men as Smith, and Walker, holdout, there is bound to be friction from the first.

Democratate party in this city, Tammany Hall fears, this will indicate to outside democrats that the party is not satisfied with Smith, and with lack of harmony in Tammany Hall the chance, of nominating Governor Smith as the Democrat of Presidential candidate next year, becomes dubious.
Smith-Walker Schism.
For a long time it has been rumored - in Albany, and also around the Biltmore Hotel in New York City, that Alfred E. Smith is not a well man. Newspaper men, who see the Governor daily, have long since sensed his condition, but have refrained from giving publicity to the warnings of his physician. The demand or suggestion, coming out of the West that both Smith and McAdoo withdraw from the race in the interest of harmony, and McAdoo's immediate withdrawal, are offered as an indication that the way has been made possible for Smith to withdraw on the ground of 'ill health.
Criticism of Mayor Walker's administration by Governor Smith's friends in Tammany Hall, so it is charged, has been very pronounced and created great antagonism. His recent passage of a law that will kill Will Smith hurdles for 1928 has brought down an avalanche of condemnation on Mayor Walker, and the friends of Governor Smith directly charge, when gathered in those places where men and political reputations are made or destroyed, that was signed in 1928 as the point of the Mayor to injure the chances of the Governor for nomination next year.

THE POOR MAN'S COURT.
The Municipal Court of New York is rightly termed the poor man's court, because it deals with those civils involving small amounts, but which affect a large portion of the population. In many of these cases the parare too poor to retain counsel and is especially needful that their interbe guarded by a wise and experienced judiciary. It is for this and other sons that the re-election of judges to have served satisfactorily one or the terms is desirable. This principle retaining in office judges who have vied their worth to the community is approved of all good citizens.
there is more than a partisan reason before to be urged for the re-election such judges as Sidney C. Crane and in R. Davies, whose records have remended them tothe residents of Haru. Judge Davies has served twenty-s on the bench and administered just impartially and faithfully. Judge me has manifested equal distinction character in dealing with the cases right before him. Both of these judg-have treated all litigants fairly and surely, as well as the counsel who pleaded the cases of their clients. We conduct shines by contrast with main judges, who show but little re-rect for either the poor litigants dra-gel into their courts or their lawyers, cause of some personal bias or preju- Both Judge Crane and Judge ties should be re-elected, irrespective the claims of the candidates opposing m.
Next in importance to having fit judge in the poor man's court is to have proper representation in the Board of Hermen and in the legislature at Ally. The aldermen deal with problems city control, that affect all citizens in daily living. They have a hand in ing the tax rate and the spending of city's money, which comes out of pockets of all citizens, either in the form of rent or taxes. The State legislature makes the laws which regulate rights of the citizens in matters of land property, and the proper kind of representatives should be sent there and in office as experience renders their vice more valuable.
The Republican candidates for judges,armen and assemblymen measure up the high standard demanded of such officials and deserve the support of allers who are seeking good governn. Our voters should support Judge Crane and Davis for the Municipal art and the Republican candidates for german and Assemblyman.
DEMOCRATIC DUPLICITY.
since the advent of the new municipal administration and the progress of governor Smith's presidential boom, he has been a perceptible cooling off the treatment accorded Negro voters the local Democratic ranks. Under Hylan regime Harlem came in for a large share of municipal patronage and generously treated in local improvements. Mayor Hylan was a prominent at public meetings in this section, made himself popular by his united interest in local projects.
Under Mayor Walker's administration we have been but two appointments due to local offices of importance. One these was the retention of Ferdinand Morton as a member of the Civil Service Commission and the other the king of Thomas B. Dyett as an assistant district attorney. The effect of first appointment was partly nullified the curtailment of Mr. Morton's powers as a Tammany leader, and the disition to limit the influx of colored ers to the local Democracy was partly shown during the period of registration and enrollment. The episode of or Walker's color line demonstration in Roman night club, as reported in aerial cable to the New York World,
has never been thoroughly explained; but can only be accounted for as a concession to Southern prejudices. At the State capital, Governor Smith vetoed the bill providing for an additional municipal court in New York City, less it might afford an opportunity for the elevation of a Negro to the municipal bench. Despite his alleged freedom from racial or religious bias, he has signally failed during his terms as Governor to name any member of the race to a position of honor or emolument under the State government. To do him justice, Governor Smith has made no hypocritical protestations of any special friendship for the Negro, but has calmly ignored him as a citizen and a voter.
Tammany Hall, through its present leaders holding high office, has clearly shown its desire to clear itself from the suspicion of catering to the Negro vote. It has reversed the policy initiated by Richard Croker and his successors, of treating the Negro as an fullfledged citizen with a vote in his hand. It has endeavored to conciliate the hidebound Democracy of the South by turning away the black voters who have helped to keep it in office. Southern delegates must be won over to the nomination of the New York Governor, at the sacrifice of the Black Tammanyites.
It must also be remembered that apart from the Negro Democracy, there is a considerable number of colored voters who in the past have voted for the Governor on general principles. Clearly they cannot follow him in catering to Southern race prejudice.
WHAT IS PATRIOTISM?
The New York World last week denounced Mayor Thompson's show in Chicago, as it termed the effort to oust Superintendent McAndrews from the school system, "as funny as a crutch." It added that it is not so funny when you realize that it is good politics for the mayor of a big city to spend his time insulting a powerful and friendly neighbor. It also finds it exasperating that this can pass for patriotism in a civilized community. But the writer of this philippic did not pause to think that this mode of procedure did not originate with Mayor Thompson. The background and basis of American patriotism for more than a century has been blind and unreasoning denunciation of British tyranny. It has been taught in the schools and formed the theme of all Independence Day orations. Tammany orators in Congress have all joined in twisting the British Lion's tail in and out of season.
Why should Mayor Thompson be excoriated for following such good precedents as those furnished by Bourke Cockran, William Sulzer and other representatives of the common people? To be sure, New Yorkers familiar with educational matters recall Superintendent McAndrew as an efficient and conscientious educator, faithful to his profession, whether as a school principal or supervising officer. They do not believe that he has changed in this respect since he has wrestled with the vexatious Chicago school problem. But this is a question for Chicagoans to decide.
The election of Mayor Thompson was a rebuke of the effort to inject Southern race-prejudice into Chicago politics. It was the demonstration of the best sort of patriotism against the spread of intolerance and race hatred. While we may deem the Thompson anti-British campaign a trifle overdone, especially, since it has elicited the approval of the Ku Klux Klan, it is a minor evil born of the early days of American disapproval of all things British. It is probably a reaction against the too eager approval by Easterners in accepting and swallowing without question all things bearing an English hallmark.
Patriotism is a cloak of convenience that can be easily invoked to cover some outrageous sins and inconsistencies. It is claimed by the Ku Klux Klan as well as by the Sons of the Revolution and the Daughters of the Confederacy, and all of these fail to recognize the title of Crispus Attucks and Peter Salem to the role of patriot. Think of a film portraying the fall of Major Pitcaim at Bunker
Hill without showing the black soldier whose bullet struck him.
The sentiment of patriotism is too often an empty term used to appeal to the prejudices of the ignorant and unthinking, as in this. Chicago case. But why should the World wax so lugubrious over Mayor Thompson, when it has Mayor Walker back at home. Let it seek to get a refutation of the cable dispatch it published from a special correspondent in Rome, a few weeks ago, concerning Mr. Walker's conduct in a night club, as given in an interview with its proprietor. Or must this reported slip be overlooked as an ebullition of American patroltism of the kleagle brand?
EARL CARQL AND MARCUS GARVEY.
A New. York showman named Earl Carroll was recently released from the Atlanta Penitentiary on parole during good behavior, where he had served part of his sentence for conviction on the charge of perjury in a United States court. Carroll's offense was the original idea, as it appeared to him and a group of sophisticated newspaper men, to attain front page publicity by inducing a showgirl to disrobe and take her place in a bath tub on a stage, the tub being allegedly filled with wine, presumably champagne. The charge of violating the Volstead act was not proved, but Carroll made the mistake of denying the other facts which were proved by competent testimony. His offence was seemingly expiiated by the time he spent at Atlanta and no serious objection was raised to his release.
Some of our esteemed contemporaries of the Negro press have sought to use this Carroll case as an argument for the release of Margus Garvey on parole. Garvey was convicted of an offence of a more serious nature, as it appears to us, the effects of which are still causing more or less suffering among the hundreds of people who invested their savings in his specious schemes, only to find themselves left with worthless slips of paper representing stock in some moribund steamship line, which had ceased to have any active existence. It is only for those hopeless dupes of Garvey's plea for racial cooperation, who invested their money in good faith, that we can feel sympathy and pity.
Whether Garvey actually practiced dishonest methods in his use of the moneys entrusted to him we do not know, It is sufficient to say that he was convicted of obtaining these moneys through a misuse of the United States mails and that they were not applied for the purposes intended. Such a misuse and diversion of the funds of ignorant and trustful converts to his doctrine of racial development was a crime, not only against the individuals who put their savings in his schemes, but against the race whom he exploited. It was a moral blow at all similar efforts for race upbuilding. If Garvey has sufficiently expiated his violation of trust, it might be well for the government to release him. But we can find no precedent for such action by comparing his case with that of Earl Carroll. Carroll swore to a lie to cover, a vulgar advertising scheme. Garvey destroyed the faith reposed in him as a leader of his race.
NICARAGUA AND HAITI.
It has been announced with much show of disinterestedness that the United States government will give the inhabitants of Nicaragua an opportunity to elect a new president, at an election to be regulated by the military forces that now uphold the present government of President Diaz. Under this arrangement no Nicaraguan who has previously held the office will be eligible for reelection, and an opportunity is guaranteed for every qualified voter to cast a ballot. If this guarantee is strictly observed the anomalous situation of a Nicaraguan president representing American capitalists and holding his place only through the force of American marines and bombing planes, may be changed to a condition more consistent with the status of a small but independent republic.
Why this demonstration should be extended to Nicaragua and not to Haiti, which has been under American occupation for several years, despite the provisions of the infamous constitution written by Franklin K. Roosevelt, while Assistant Secretary of the Navy under the Wilson administration, is hard to determine. In this constitution which was forced upon the Haitian people, provision was made for a general election of a president and a national assembly. This provision has never been carried out and President Borno was declared re-elected by a council of ministers an-
The Republic of Haiti is at present governed by an American High Commissioner appointed by this government, who carries out his ideas through the pretext of a Haitian president and his council, kept in office through the menace of the marines and a
Under the heading of "The Slave in the Pullman," Americo, a Catholic review of the week, said that the nearest thing to a slave observable in this country is the Pullman porter. Concerning the movement to abolish tips in favor of a living wage, it said:
Whatever may be said of the legal and practical value of this argument, it is clear that the porters suffer from a grievance. They have a right, founded on the natural law, and taking precedence of the right of the Company to declare dividends, to receive a living wage in return for their services. They do not get it. Unless they demean themselves as a mendicant class, they run grave risk of malnutrition. It seems to us that a corporation which deliberately pays an insufficient wage, is a public misuse. Further, a corporation which fosters the creation of a menial and mendicant class is contrary to public policy.
Two marvelous improvements have made their appearance in the Pullman cars in the last twenty-five years. One is a separate curtain for the upper berth, and the other is a slot for discarded razor blades. Apart from these alterations, the interior of the Pullman is mudd the same as it was at the time of the Buffalo Exposition. In other respects, too, the company shows an unwillingness to change, and the chief of these is to yield to humanitarian ideals. Should it evince a willingness to revise its wage-scale upward in favor of the porters, the public will overlook its rooted conservatism in other less important details. Humanity comes first.
As corporations are said to have no souls an appeal to humanitarian ideals would probably be in vain.
Referring to a request of the United Daughters of the Confederacy for the turning over of two hundred letters written by Confederate prisoners at Camp Chase, the Cleveland Gazette said;
This reminds us that one of the most popular acts of Governor Joseph Benson Foraker was his refusal to acquaint in the request for the return to the South of the rebel flags captured by Ohio regiments during the War of the Rebellion, that were located in the State House at Columbus. Governor Foraker, great and good friend of many people, was a friend and member of the U.S. Senate where he made that wonderful fight for the "Black Batball," our soldiers at Brownsville, Tex., who were "lynched" out of the U.S. army by President Theodore Roosevelt, who also refused to reinstate them after they had been proven innocent of the trumped-up and false charge of "shooting up" Brownsville. The writer helped to elect and re-elect Judge Foraker governor of Ohio and later, in his later life, literature, had the additional honor, of which he has always been very proud, of helping to elect him to the U.S. Senate. Joseph Benson Foraker was unquestionably one of the very few ablest, statesmen of his time and a great jurist.
The veteran editor of the Gazette should write his reminiscences of such stalwart Republicans as Senator Foraker, as their kind has passed away.
The Philadelphia Tribune made the rather sweeping assertion that colored people do not pay their pledges, which default it correctly stamped as dishonesty. It said:
The Board of Directors of the Douglas Hospital began the Nurses' Home for the Douglas Hospital because certain people gave their word of honor that they would contribute definite sums of money. Some of these people have paid. They value the word of honor the majority of them have not paid. If they would pay their pledge the building could be completed in the next few months
The Haitians are paying a high price for the benefits of civilization which are being forced upon them against their wishes By a step-fatherly American government, whose paternal discipline is administered in drastic doses. The editors of the Haitian press who dare to voice a protest against such measures spend most of their time in jail, while the high Commissioner seeks to suppress their insistent pleas for independence.
The contrast between the suppression of all attempts at self-government in Haiti and the measure of self-expression guaranteed to Nicaragua, under this proposal for a new election, is indeed striking.
These unpaid pledges are causing great injury to the much needed Nurses' Home. They should be paid even at a sacrifice. Several other organizations have experienced the same thing. We should not make pledges that we cannot keep. There is no need to promise to pay one hundred dollars when you know you may be unable to promise. The honest and square thing would be to promise five dollars or ten dollars and though the heavens fall, pay that. It is infinitely better to promise five dollars and pay it than to pledge one hundred and forget about it.
Without excusing those individuals who deliberately pledge contributions that they do not intend to pay, there is a tendency among solicitors to urge or exact pledges beyond the capacity of the subscribers to pay. This should be avoided.
"Good Housekeepers Wanted" is the appeal of an editorial in the St. Luke Herald of Richmond, Va. In getting down to braa tasks, the editor emphasized the crying need for oldfashioned housewives and housekeepers as follows:
Great nations like the irrepressible Germans have great and good housewives back of them. The wandering and successful Jews have great and willing mothers as the bulwark of their present and future promise of prosperity. The sturdy, hard-listed, and faithful Italians and Japanese willing and ready mothers who still housewives sew bottoms on shirts and trousers.
The colored people of America lack sufficient schools and colleges; we lack well-paying jobs; we lack a sufficient share of this world's goods. But our most vital and far-reaching shortage is a sufficient development and training of good housekeepers.
The Virginia editor scored the "crop of silly and frivolous flappers among our women who cannot be satisfied without the attractions of card parties, the dances and the movies." And yet these diversions need not prevent these scaled flappers from developing into modern house-keepers.
That Chicago is not as bad as some reformers and play producers have depicted it, is shown by the administration of justice in its courts as seen by the Chicago Whip. It said:
With all of its bootleg scandals and murders, with its bandit gangs and outlawry, with all of its frontier roughness and uncoughed, Chicago seems to mite out more undiluted justice than any other city in the American nation. There are instances and cases where race and religion seeps into the court rooms, there are incidents where powerful forces bring prejudice to bear but they are rare. Day in and day out our hundred or more lawyers practice before the courts and secure justice for their clients. Justice sits on the bench in Chicago.
The element of politics has never become so acute that a Chicago judge has allowed his political affiliations to outweigh his sacred duty in administering the law. "Trujans and Tyrians are treated with no discrimination. Democratic judges in Chicago have the right to have their party and have almost the man, given us a square deal. Republican judges, even when the hooded and sinister figure of the Ku Klux Klan importted them, still stood and performed their duty without bias or partiality. This is one of the reasons why we love Chicago. Here we have the feeling of personal security, here we have hopes for the future, here we have dreams. Here we hope we can all of the gifts and enmilment American people. Everything is not conducive to our peace and happiness, not everything conforms to,
scheme of Utopia, but here Justice is not blindfolded and we do not come before the bar with fears and fore-bodings. We come as upright American citizens with the full knowledge and expectation that Justice will be done.
The experiment of having Justice officiate without blinders appears to work well in Chicago.
Commenting on the views expressed by Senator Bingham of Connecticut on the treatment accorded to the Chinese by foreigners and the promotion of trade relations with the United States the Washington Tribune said:
The senator says nothing about any theory, or philosophy; but he does

Orange for three years, one of the best in Essex County. I know what it is for some people to conserve themselves to a good cause. While we have not the largest organization it is one of the best.
Think what Mr. Moore has done with The New York Age: not only on a fine paper, but owns the building, in which he is placed in employment to many of our boys and girls, and where every colored paper in New York City could be printed; if they so desired, at lessense than they pay other printers.
With the assistance of the colored churches, the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People, the Southern Beneficial League, the Pullman Porters, the Negro Business League, the Colored Medical Association, the Colored Bar Association, the Clubmen's Association, and many white people will support you, and many of the fraternal organization will or should support your election.
One of the essential things to the success of any candidate is to have the taxes registered; because so many do not register, they cannot vote.
You have the well wishes of the Third Ward Colored Republican Club of East Orange, N. J. J. W. HUDSPETH, President.
FROM MISSISSIPPI
Congratulations and good wishes come from Hattiesburg, Miss, sent by G Hardaway, president of the loco-Groeb Business League. He writes:
Mr. FRED R MOORE:
Congratulations to you on being nominated for the position of Alderman from your district. I know you will be elected. And from New Rochelle, N. Y., you are a successful realtor, with offices at 32 Mechecasic street, who says:
MR. FRED R MOORE:
I am truly glad to learn that you have been selected as Aldermarie candidate in your district, and hope you will be elected by a large majority. I know of no man better fitted for the position than you; your long fight for good government and betterment of the community; your hard work; your election means much to the citizens of Hailem. I will do all I can among my friends "there" to help you
COUNTY COURT HOUSE
I have not been unmindful of the decision which you have made to aspire for the office of Alderman of your district in the great racial center of New York City—Harlem, which to the world at large has become the cynosure of all national and industrial industries, is being washed by our cricates and those who would prefer that the Negro remain as a subdued complex in the strife for economic, political or social equality. Our stalwart love for the race, the sacrifices, the physical and financial, which you have made uninterestedly for the people at large, your courage of honest conviction expressed in season and out of season without equivocation or reservation, are all too well known, and at close range, can say that your eldest son, you aspire to by a rousing majority on November is all too little for your race to do for you.
Your experience, efficiency, loyalty to your race, and patriotism, must commend you to your race in particular and the electorate in general. You will be an honor, credit and asset to the Negroes in Harlem, and the million others outside the state, who are awaiting the result,-J. H. E. SCOTLAND, Document Clerk (Justice of the Peace, Notary Public)

May I take this opportunity to tell you how glad I am that you have been nominated as Alderman from the 19th Aldermane District? It is gratifying that a man of your character and outstanding attitude makes for racial advancement which makes us our representative. You
the policy of social relationships having as its main purpose the promotion of trade-relations between the two countries.
There is a lesson which the Negro may well ponder and turn over in his mind. It is this: A people who are economically efficient and commercially equipped are armed with powerful weapons which are useful in securing for them equal justice and human consideration in any quarter. If, for instance, we had in the community at least two banks whose capital aggregated one million dollars, and who were clearing house members, can any one doubt that such facts would be an effective lever to move-public opinion?
The ameliorating influence of the Almighty Dollar, even if only a trade dollar, to better race relations is not to be despised.

We would like to get to our membership shall be glad to inclose in our outgoing mail.

AVOID A NOSE DIVE
Mr. FRED R MOORE:
It is gratifying to note that the voters of the 19th A. D. have decided to fly sentimentally up and across to victory this year, by selecting as their representative in the Aldermanic Chamber a gentleman so equal to the occasion; one whose long presence in the editorial chair has given him the experience of the office of the officer who knows the needs of his people, but does not promise impossibilities; one who is not afraid to tell the truth, thought is might offend; one whose undying desire to see his people elevated and educated is admitted by all who know him. The enrolled voters of the 19th A. D. will avoid a nose-divide in politics and polls on November 8 and voting for this gentleman, the Hon. Fred R. Moore, the people's friend, B. JOSEPH REUBEL.
WADSWORTH REPUBLICAN

The Wadsworth Republican and Social Club highly endorse Fred R. Moore as candidate for Alderman from the 19th A. D. We feel that the Republican Party could not have selected a man who is better known than Fred R. Moore. Mr. Moore is known for his nurturing efforts to aid and enlighten the people in his community. Mr. Moore has more staffers for the interest of the people without one selfish thought of himself. Mr. Moore is a man who can be approached at any place and at any time. He is always ready to help those in distress. Fred R. Moore is the one man that we know really apply experience and honored November 8, when we read the returns: "Fred R.

CHURCH ACTIVITIES IN GREATER NEW YORK
Refuge Church of Christ
Attendance was good Sunday morning, and the speaker, Eld. T. R. White, preached from Isaiah 5:16. "And I will lay it waste; it shall not be our priests and burthens; it will only command the clouds that they rain on rain upon it". The prophet Isaiah was known as the eagle-eyed prophet, that is, he could discern afar the horrible downfall of Israel, he people, and began to warn them in prophecy. He prophesied seven hundred and twenty years before his prophecation to pass; nevertheless it came, even as he said.
The doctrine of the Law and the prophets had long dropped on Israel as "rain and dew". These should now be withdrawn, even the blessings and favor of God. The rain spoken of here is typical of the Spirit, "latter rain". Some people have up their umbrellas of doubt, unbelief and critism, therefore they cannot feel the rain. Is it because the rain is not falling? No! It is because they are bringing not only rain, but the Lord hath commanded the clouds that the rain no more upon them. No rain the Spirit coming upon them, frequently there is no power in their lives to live for God rather, to being four grapes," fruit acceptable on the Lord Jesus Christ.
At the evening service Elder Lawson, the pastor, filleted the pulpit. His message was taken from 1st John 2:28 "And now, little children, abide in him, that , when He shall appear, we may have confidence, and not be shamed before Him at His coming". John said, Pastor Lawson, was a favorite of the Lord's who was exiled on the Island of Patmos, for the Word of God and the testimony of Jesus Christ. And there in the Spirit he is taken through a panoramic scene of the thing that was an is to time of the which is so eminent warning relative to His second appointe of the which is so eminent a pering.
First Emmanuel Church
At the 11 o'clock service Sunday, Pastor Bolden preached from the text: "To all that be in Rome, beloved of God, called to be saints, Grace to you and Peace from God our Father, and the Lord Jesus Christ" Romans 1:7 Theme "The Benediction Upon Saints." This sermon was delivered on Saanthood as a Do Woman message. Pastor Bolden said a great Apostle Paul, to the Gentiles, and I might say, to the world at large, may be called, a specialist in forming beautiful thoughts as benedictions. His goodwill and wishes in these benedictions were poured forth with the thought that he wished and willst the grace, love, mercy and peace of our Heavenly Father to abide with us always. He seems to have had in mind that these - benedictions were the believers of our Lord Jesus Christ to commemorate the Saints while he was at Rome he felt shipped saints. And when absent from them he wrote them illuminating letters.
We often hear the remark "When you are in Rome, do as the Romans do." And the meaning of this statement to the average mind is that when you are among people who are naughty, carnal minded, displaying degrading social habits and cusions, that the stranger, or visitor or youth, should take on the demoralizing practices of the community in which they live. For instance they should be hooch makers, bootleggers, poison sharks, house party hands, gambit high life sex indulgences, number fights, a jovial civile movement and church organization crimes and fighters, hypothetical and unreliable leaders over organizations
We wish to call your attention to the fact that the Apostle Paul found fame among the Romans. These people that he found were called saints because they not only had fine individual characters, but that collectively they lived a social life that still held customs and habits that marked them as holy, reliable and trustful citizens of the kingdom of Patience and the Kingdom of our Father. They lived in sweet fellowship with our Lord Jesus Christ the Lumannuel and demonstrated the power and truth that is in the idea, with Saints!

And it is a blessed privilege when illuminated souls and spiritual enlightened minds live in this daily realization. The truth of this can b- demonstrate in your room, apartment, at your work, in your home, among any people, anywhere and at all times according to your will.
Therefore, instead of doing in our communities what the wicked Romans do, let us find the saints and confer with them, socialize with them, adding to their joy and quickening their life with inspiring thoughts, so that the Holy Spirit may quicken their pulses, giving them new desires, to carry on in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. At 2 p. m., the Sunday school was opened by Miss Ales Parker, assisted by Mrs. Emily Townsend.
The evening service was continued along the line of the morning service. The theme was "The Communion of Saints." This was very up-fitting and inspiring, served during the day by the friends. Every Monday night, Bible Class. Every Thursday night, praise and prayer service.
Mother Zion Church
Services throughout the day, last Sunday at Mother Zion Church, were largely attended. The pastor spoke at the 11 o'clock service upon "Lessons of the Leaves." Excellent music was rendered by the chorus. At the close, fourteen persons united with the church.
Dr. Brown was the preacher at the Junior Church services in the lecture room.
Church School convened at 2 o'clock. J. C Price Lyeum was held at 4 m. in the Lalu Robinson Jones is the president. At 8 p. m., a sacred concert, a Stainer oratorio, was presented by the chorus of the Chapel of the Crucifixion. An evening of uplifting music was enjoyed by all.

Rush Memorial Church
"The Man Who Refuses To Be Hindered," Nehemiah 6.2-4, was the subject on which Dr. G. M. Oliver preached last Sunday morning. The theme was divided into three principal parts (1) Prayer (2) Promptitude (3) Perseverance. Each one of these divisions was well emphasized, proving the fact that a man who prays and aspires to the higher things in life cannot be hindered. His mind is made up, like that of Nehemiah, to continue in the good work, and regardless of what there may say, he will succeed in the attempt attempt. This german was a great lesson in that it encouraged the younger people to attempt to surmount obstacles that daily confront them by prayer, promptitude and perseverance.
At 3 o'clock, the senior chair presented an enjoyable musical program to an appreciative audience. The vocalists were Nible Ross, tenor; M. Augustus Simpson, tenor; Miss Mary Harper, reader; Preston Tate, saxophone soloist; Hannah C. Brown, pianist.
In the evening Rev. L. F. Tunston, pastor of our church at West New Brighton, N.1 preached on "The Glory of the Church" Psalm 873 Rev. Tunston delivered a brilliant discourse and pointed out to the entire assistance of his hearts the glories of the church.

St. Paul Bapt. Church
Because of the concert that was held Thursday night of last week the debate in the B. Y. P. U., which was to have taken place on Wednesday night, was postponed. The young people who were to have debated, being students in the schools, could not be out two nights in succession. However, Eric Warren, one of the debaters, who was on the program, open the topic of the evening, was present, and gave a most interesting and helpful talk. His discussion of "An Efficient Young People's Union," was so thorough—going and breathed so freely the young people's point of view, that the older persons present: "I aroused as they seldom are. The young people was reflected in the Sunday school, as well as in the general body of the church."
The concert given Thursday night, while late in beginning, was nevertheless a great credit to our young people and those who took the pains in train them for the work. These concerts and things of that kind, bring to the attention of the older people what 'there is in the younger, and demonstrate the fact that the superior advan-

tages of the young people are being seized by them and made the most of.
Friday night the prayer meeting while not so largely attended, was a good one, the people taking part freely, and, as is usually the case, a good prayer meeting which members take an active part contributes largely, spiritually, to the services that follow on Sunday.
Sunday, the choir was sprightly, and the pastor hardly had time to have prayer with the deacons, before the organ was calling them out of the study. We are cultivating more and more the people are coming to appreciate the fact that all done in a service may be in that spirit.
the pastor preached on "God's Conditional Promises," at 11 a.m. and "The Exalation of Christ," at the 8 p.m. service. Both sermons were preached in the pastor's natural way and seemed to be really helpful to the congregations. We note the increasingly larger attendance at the regular services of worship. Sister Agnes Morris, 257 West 122nd street, is on the sick list.
Union Baptist Church
The Lord has blessed us We have much for which to be thankful. Sunday, 9 a.m., the attendance at Sunday school was very large. The lesson was reviewed by Rev. Moore.

The message was helpful to the members in the building program A vocal solo was rendered by Clarence Archer.

St. James Pres. Church
Sunday, October 30, was a day full of great events, closing a great month of activities.
The pastor presented a distinguished visitor at the morning service, the Rev. George Lake Imes of Tuskegee, who preached from the text, "Blessed are they who have not seen and yet have believed," and emphasized the need of a larger faith in this day. The two kinds of faith which we have are distinguished by experience and adventure. It is with the lateness of the must dare to press forward in the kingdom of God. The funeral service of John H. Black, a member of St. James, were held at 1 p. m. and a host of friends and numerous fraternal bodies paid tributes of respect. The pastor preached on "God's Gentleman" from Psalm 15.
The Girl's Service League held its closing rally at 3 p. m. under the direction of Miss Elizabeth Martin, with Mrs Roscoe C Bruce as principal speaker. A large banquet was held on the Saturday evening before in the lecture room of the church.
The St. James fair held during the week of October 24 to 28, was largely attended, and splendid preliminary reports were made. Auxiliaries are meeting each Wednesday evening during November to of remaining articles, and to bring all the tickets and other funds.
The Young People's Society of Christian Endorsement was attended by a large crowd of members and visitors Dr. Allerton of Union Theological Seminary of this city was among the visitors.
The Wednesday evening prayer meetings during November and December will take the form of the annual school of missions with splendid courses, three for adults and young people and two afternoon courses for junior. The general theme of all the 1927 courses will be "Get A World View with us". The public as well as members will be heartily welcome. The November Communion will be held Sunday, November 6, at 11 o'clock. The chair of St James will tender Stainer's communion in his memorial member will be welcomed into fellowship.

Bruce Lodge of this order and their invited guests on Sunday evening, October 30.
Grace Church of Harlem
A big day at Grace Church was the unanimous opinion of all who worshipped there last Sunday, Dr. Garner organized and conducted the special program and called it American Missionary Association Day. The speaker for the day at both services was George N. White, one of the secretaries for the Association. He is the first of our group to attend with this particular organization Mr. White is visiting the Churches in the interest of 22 schools and colleges for Negroes in the south.
He spoke last Sunday morning on 'The Work and the Workers, making a deep impression upon his audience, many of whom had attended those schools.
At night Mr. White gave a stereotypical pageant on the theme 'Climbing Jack's Ladder'. Grace Church sang in the music inspired it. It was a source of pleasure to the officers to note the wonderful possibilities of the choir.
At both services an offering waited for the AMA, and a pledge of $100 was redeemed.
The pastor, who sidem lets an opportunity, sip, called for new members and Mrs Clifford Alain Kahn of 283 West 150th Street united with the church.
Many announcements of affairs to take place in the church were given. The ten nights bazaar was outlined by P.W. Bean, the chairman, and several leaders made special announcements of their particular nights. These announcements were necessary, but they take something of an worth of an otherwise fine service.
Next Sunday the pastor preaches and the harvest time communion will be celebrated at the morning service. A revision of the roll is now in process. The annual test will be applied, viz. attendance, work performed, contributions and community interest.
The church school teaching force is to be augmented by Mrs Kahn, Miss Ewell and Deacon Red
Mrs. Patterson of 10th street is sck in St. Lake's Hospital

The opening ceremonies of the church at its new center continue to be the central attraction in Brooklyn. The services were well attended each night during the past week when some of the leading clergymen or both races were heard. White and black mingled in the audience at every service. The services came to a climax last Sunday when the Rev. J. C. Olden Washington, the Washington Archbishop, the Invisible Bells at the evening hour Rabbi Alexander Lyons gave the sermon King Nana Amoh III of the Fanta tribe, West Africa, dresses.

Concord Baptist Church
Sundays are interesting days for people around Concord Church. Last Sunday the Sunday school opened at 9:30 a.m. with 425 pupils present. The school went rapidly about the task of teaching the puns in the program of God One important statement given out by the school was the program of the athletics of the school. This year the boys will play in the Brooklyn Sunday School Basketball League in the world. The first game will open Thursday of this week with the Baptist Temple and the South Congregational Church. Every effort is being put forth to produce two of the best teams ever produced in Brooklyn. A snagny and fast team of girls is being worked in line by the directors of athletes Assistant Pastor C'T Franklin, who is directing the affairs of the association is receiving the best of support from Pastor James Williams, who is himself an ex-athlete. The school is watching with much interest the results of this team's first adventure in becoming a member of this League.
The service all day was at high pitch and many were present at all services. Rey James B. Adams was the speaker at both services. At the evening service the Grand United Order of Antelopes, held their annual session at which time over 400 members were present. A wonderful service was realized. Concord is staging a $4,000 campaign for the first ten days in November for a Brooklyn Community House for all the people. Sunday, November 6. Attorney William H. Harrison of Chicago will speak at the morning service and at a mass meeting in the afternoon in the interest of Negro Community Houses and what they will mean for the world at large.
Fleet St. Memorial
A. M. E. Zion Church
Last Sunday was a good day for
grichchugers in Brooklyn, and Fleet
Street was blessed with a large num-
ber of them. The pastor, Rev. W.
C. Brown, preached at the morning
service.
The Sunday school was held at the
usual hour. Added interest was given
the sess in by an unexpected lecture
from our pastor on some phases of
education and thrift. Undivided
attention was given while these excele-
lent remarks were being made and
evidenced the fact that the words
sink deep into the hearts of
many and undoubtedly shaped
a bright future for some of the
listeners. Rev. Brown is deeply
interested in the success of the younger
people, and wherever their interest is he
is always there, if possible, to add his
influence, and they all love and
respect him to their friend and a Christian gentleman.

The sacred concert at the evening hour was of an exceptionally high character and was appreciated by an audience of music lovers and some critics who gave their stamp of approval on this fine program. One of the main features was an instrumental selection 'by little Miss Blanche Jordan which brought a thundering applause, and had the curtain been drawn it could have hardly been believed that the artistic strains were coming from on who had not yet reached the teen age.
Mrs. W. C. Brown, wife of the pastor, has been called to Edenton, N. C., to the bedside of her mother, who is seriously ill.
Pre-Election Meeting To Mark Vesper Service At W.137th Street Y
On Sunday, November 6, at 4 p.m., the regular Y. W. C. A. Sunday afternoon service will he, as usual, a pre-election meeting. All of the colored candidates, regardless of party, will on this occasion have an opportunity to present their platforms. We want to urge our members and friends to attend this meeting so that they may be informed concerning the candidates when they go to the polls on Tuesday. We cannot stress enough the obligation which we have to vote and to vote wireless.
There is a new class being offered in the Branch this year on Monday evenings which will probably prove to be one of the most popular ones in the Education Department when it is more generally known about. This is a class in dramatics, which aspires to build plays from the ground work on. The class is being taught by Miss L. W. Voorhees, who has had a great deal of experience in producing plays, and who is, herself, a writer of plays. The course will include study of the correct use of the speaking voice, the meaning of gesture, pantomime, work for grace and overcoming self-consciousness, character analysis, play reading and acting. The class will be held one public performance during the year. Acting offers one of the most popular and satisfactory means of self-expression and it is a thing that most young people enjoy thoroughly. We hope that a great many young people will take advantage of this class.
The event of the fall season in the Business Girls' Department of New York City will be the dinner at International House on November 22. At the same time there will be held throughout the countdown in every state of the United by the business girls in the Y W C W. The three hundred dinners are scheduled. It is expected that six hundred girls will attend the New York dinner and delightful plans have been made for the program. We hope to have a large representation from the West 137th Street Branch. The music appreciation course planned by the Education and the Club Departments for club girls will be held on weekends, November 10 and 17. Excellent artists are being secured for each of the lecture recitals.

IN THE REALM OF MUSIC
By LUCIEN H. WHITE
GRACE CHURCH OF HARLEM IS LIBERAL IN ITS ATTITUDE TOWARDS THEATRE AND IS BENEFICIARY OF MIDNIGHT PROGRAM
Something new in the line of progress as it relates to friendship between the Church and the Theatre was evidenced Tusday night, October 18, when Grace Congregational Church was the beneficiary of a midnight show at Lafayette Theatre, volunteered by members of the theatrical profession, led by "The Theatre Boys", of which club George H. Caldwell is president. Miss Justine Alexander and Edgar N. Parks were the church representatives.
This fellowship of the church and the people of the stage is a healthy sign of progress in the breadth of church policy and in the manifest of liberality of the spirit of show people. The Theatre, as an institution, is older than the church, but is not older than religion. For more than 3,000 years the Theatre has been giving joy and pathos, comedy and tragedy, music and dancing to the weary public. The fact that the Bible mentions the word a couple of times, and both of the same place and incident, may suggest that the early Christians had little in common with its life.
In fact a moral battle has been waged by the Church against the Theatre since the beginning of the Christian Era. An effort was made by the Church to get a hold, may be a strangle hold, on the Theatre in the Middle Ages by introducing miracle and mystery plays; and this effort was continued through parish theatres and amateur dramas in modern times. The new emphasis being placed on religious education does not fail to give place to drama and pageantry, showing how the theatre hold on the life of the people has grown steadily through the years until there is no longer any doubt about the value of the theatre in modern life.
The Rev. A. C. Garnier, pastor of Grace Church of Harlem, when asked about this unusual expression of reciprocal friendship of Grace Church and the theatre people said in part:
'I make no distinction in men on account of occupation; God is no respector of persons. 'All souls are mine, saith the Lord.' Salvation is as much for the actor as for the preacher—and must give him credit for his superior art; for often he gets off stuff that he does not believe better than some of us gets off the truths we believe. The early preachers fought the theatres as did writers and legislators of the early period in American history. In England there was such a fight on the stage as to cause Macauley to say: 'From the time the theatres opened they became seminaries of vice.' Others have said it was Shakespeare's genius that saved the English stage.
"The Puritans inveighed against it, and the American Congress, after the Declaration of Independence, adopted the following preamble and resolution: 'Whereas, true religion and good morals are the only solid foundation of public liberty and happiness; Resolved: That it be and is thereby earnestly recommended to the several states, to take the most effectual measures foP the encouragement thereof; and the suppression of theatrical entertainments, and such other diversions as are productive of idleness, dissapation and a general depravity of principles and manners.'"
"This merely suggests the attitude of the public mind in those days. Things have changed greatly since then and the improvement of the stage is probably more noticeable than that of any other institution that seeks public favor by entertaining for gain. Neither the critics nor the patrons have been able to keep the Theatres from growing more wholesome, and the church has gradually given more liberal consideration to both the patrons and the players."
"The human being loves play; man is fond of acting. The church has had trouble with every thing that offered pleasure to people. The Puritans looked with suspicion upon the arts; the prose, poetry, painting, sculpturing, music, novels, games, dances and all theatrical performances got knocks from the good intentioned but much mistaken religious zealots of yesterdays. There was then and there is now too much talk about the sacred and the secular. To my mind, the Church should discriminate between use and abuse of legitimate things and should cooperate in all things good and beautiful and true, and we should never forget that are and religion are related. I believe the Theater as art has aesthetic value; it has a moral opportunity and a spiritual mission. Religion and art have a common root in the constitution of the soul.
"Our church, people have, from the organization of Grace Church, been sympathetic to the vast army of show people who have not been sought out and encouraged as some other professions."
Dr. Garner said he was pleased to accept for his church the proceeds from the benefit given by "The Theatre Boys", under George Caldwell, President; assisted by Miss Justine Alexander, when more than 1,000 people were in attendance and asked The Age to express the thanks of his officers and members to the actors and the public for their cooperation.
MUSICAL PROGRAM, 7th ANNIVERSARY OF TRINITY CHH. Mme. DeLyon Leonard, Soprano, Features Enjoyable Evening Affair
Although the congregation was organized in 1899, twenty-eight years ago, with the Rev. B. T. Harvey serving as pastor for eighteen years, it is only recently that the pastor-and people of Trinity Baptist Church have inaugurated the plan of yearly observances of the anniversary date. So it was the seventh reunion and anniversary which was held on Friday evening, October 28, under auspices of a general executive staff headed by Herbert Royal as chairman of the reunion committee. Other members of the staff were John L. Anderson sr., manager; Frank Curry, secretary; Benjamin L. Brown jr., treasurer; and Mrs Lelia Brown, chairman refreshment committee. The occasion was marked by a great musical concert under direction of Prentice R Royal, director of the church choir and the ubiquitous master of ceremonies was James W. Randolph.
The splendid new church edifice was crowded to the doors to enjoy the well-balanced and, in most cases, thoroughly enjoyable program. I from a musical standpoint, it was ill proportioned, but it must be explained that this was not the fault of Director Royal. Rather should the blame be placed upon the artist who; fully aware of a vocal lameness that would impair his suffering, could not resist the impuissance of his ego to strut before the audience in habiliments that resembled those of the peacock. And, alas! the comparison might be carried farther! Compensatinn was to be found in the vocalistic endeavors of
Mme, DeLyon Leonard, soprano, an artist of rilpèned and exceptional capacity, who was on the program for two numbers. Her first offering, Oley Speakt "Morning," was given with a delicacy and finesse that displayed the singer's most gracious mood. But it was in the second number, Proch's "Theme With Variations, that she reached the heights With a wise restraint which had in mind the graceful line of the low ceiling. Mme Leonard held her vocal volume to that degree which served to enhance its crystalline quality
Sheer and shimmering, in hump purity, the singer's voice was at its best and sureness of utterance in the bravura passages. It was a splendid exhibition of coloratura singing. For encores, Mine. Leonard sang "Love's on the highway" and "Trees." The accompaniments were played with technical efficiency and sympathetic satisfaction by Mrs. Cecelia Butler Dash. Dramatic recitations by Miss Gertrude Mae Hill added much to enjoyment of the program. She gave, with dramatic intensity, "Lasca" and "The Maniac," to each of which she was called upon to respond with encores.
After the Rev. Warren Scott, pastor of Butler Memorial M. E. Church, had offered an invocation, the church choir, under direction of Mr. Royal, with the organist, Mrs W. H. Royall as accompanist sang "Lift every voice and sing" to open the program, with "Gently sighs the breeze" as its closing number. A troop from the choir, M. E. Royal, Miss M Anderson and Mrs R. Royall, gave a group of Spirituals with applauded a male octette, the Virginia Serenaders, directed by Albert Pressy, did some singing that indicated possibilities.
The numbers by T. L. Davis, baritone, would rather have been postponed by the singer to some later occasion.
During the evening, various candidates for office, of both major parties, paid their respects to Trinity's reunion and were introduced for five minute speeches by Master of Ceremonies Randolph. They were all given a coidal and respectful hearing.

Pastor Harvey, after Miss Mildred jB. Hayward and Mrs. Burkley had been awarded $5 and $2.50 in gold, respectively, for selling tickets, briefly expressed appreciation of the church and its members for the splendid cooperation of its friends:
The audience then thronged the dining room of the church in the basement and enjoyed a social hour with an ample supper menu of chicken salad, rolls, ice cream, cake, coffee, tea, etc.

ACTIVITIES AMONG UNION MUSICIANS
By PERCIVAL OUTRAM
Lieut. Tim Brymn, conductor, composer and arranger, has been given control as director and supervisor of the three M. & S. Theaires in Harlem, the Douglass, Robosevelt and Odeon. We hope this will end the turmoil that has existed for the past few years in the three houses.
Tim is an honest and hard worker himself, and a strict disciplinarian, and the men will either have to do justice to the work or quit. Lieut. Brymn needs no introduction to musician or layman, and is known practically all over the United States, where he has been conductor of road shows for years.
He, with his military band of the 350th Artillery, A. E. F., helped subdue the Kasser in the World War, having been in France for one and a half years. Returning from France, Tim was leader of the band at the

One night, a white gentleman (?) collected to Tim's wearing of the skirt and Tim politely told him to come and take it off me," but of a sudden the objector to the belt had business in another part of the spacious dining room.
Tim Brynn opened the New York Roof on Broadway and worked there for a long period. He also had an orchestra in Palisades Park, N. J., for several seasons.
One other attribute of Tim's, worthy of mention, is his interest in putting men to work. There were few steady jobs, if any, where Tim had an orchestra, that the orchestra was not materially increased before the expiration of his contract, to the benefit of all parties concerned.
The lieutenant will place seven men in the Douglass, where he will conduct beginning Monday, November 7; five at the Roosevelt, and four at the Odeon.
In conjunction with James J. McAnhon and G. St. Johns, operating from his main office in Studio 411, 1857 Broadway, Brynn has sent an orchestra to St. Johns, Newfoundland, and has a request for musicians from a downtown theatre. A note from Mr. McAnhon states that business at the downtown office is encouraging, with demands, which are being filled, for both white and co-founded musicians. Good luck to you, lieutant. Here is hoping you get order out of chaos, making your men realize and see that supplying music is a business like any other business, and involves principles of manhood which at-times are sadly lacking in some of our top notch musicians.
George Evans, who left New York a few years ago with an orchestra for Paris, died on Thursday, October 27, in Switzerland. George was a drummer and entertainer, and was always full of life and peep, on and off his engagements.
After a while, George formed his own combination, calling it the Palm Beach Five, and was kept busy, eventually going to Switzerland.
He was 31 years of age, the son of Mr. and Mrs. Harry Stout of Harlem, and was married. His wife was with him when he died. The body will be brought to New York for burial.
We tender our sympathy to the widow and parents in their loss.
Aubrey Brooks, percussion specialist, ex-president of the Cefl Club, also author of "Among the Musicians," appearing in our contemporary, The New York News, in the issue of that paper of October 29, refers to "a conference between Deacon Johnson of Cefl Club and the Deacon Johnson's Singers and Players' fame, Mr. Percy Outram, culmnsn on The New York Age, and the writer" (Mr Brooks), of which the "sum and substance" was "the resulting question, What can we do to improve the business of the musician."
Do not think we are quibbling, Aubrey, but why did you write "Deacon Johnson of Cefl Club and the Deacon Johnson's Singers and Players' fame? Are you actually acquainted with the fact that Deacon Johnson was voted out of the Cefl Club about seven years ago and is not now a member? Was not your phrasing misleading?
Again, Aubrey, did we not give another and more vital question a longer consideration than the question quoted above? Why did you omit reference to that particular question? Didn't you consider it important enough? or what! The summary of the question was nicely reported and ended by requesting comments and suggestions. Let us hope he gets them. But our observation of musicians is such that we are forced to state that either from indolence, selfishness or indefinable causes it is difficult to get them to express themselves in such manner.
Bob Lewis, trombonist for years with Leroy 'Somith' Orchestra—in fact, Bob came here with the original orchestra from Detroit—has been forced to resign from the orchestra.
Bob had for a long time suffered from headaches, but paid little attention to them. During a period while the orchestra was filling an engagement at the Gateway, Atlantic City, Bob was crossing the railroad tracks when he stumbled and fell. This started a nose bleed of immense proportions He took a taxi and went home, calling in

What Smart Women Should Know about Fall Fashions—that satin crepe, using both sides as sketched in Style 1252, is "the smart fabric for afternoon wear, that the new coats (style 1250) are luxurious as to fur and fabric; and that the sports suit of the moment has a velveten jacket and a finely checked tweed skirt (style 1247). Also that the smart kiddy will wear a dainty French frock like style 1263 for Sundays, and a peasant style flay frock for every day (style 1239), while her mother looks equally chic in a new morning dress along tailored lines.

Confined in the hospital on his back for nearly three months, and a shadow of himself, Bob finally summoned enough strength to get to New York. He is still being treated by the doctors of the Post Graduate Hospital. His improvement is marked, the nose bleed has stopped, his weight is nearly normal, and he can take outdoor exercise daily.
But feeling so well, Bob tried his trombone one day and immediately the headaches returned. On his return to the hospital the doctors discovered his indiscretion and again warned Bob against attempting to blow his trombone.

Some of them are dead; some, there is no telling whether they are dead or alive; they are not in these paria anyway, and some are still to be seen occasionally, although they have long since passed from the Pulman picture—those porters. I have known. And as recollections of them flirt abras my mind, bringing memories of their individual characteristics, I smile. I become sober, and finally I grow said.
I smile whenever I think of "John Gates". This appalation was merely a nom-de-plume for this person. His right name was George Wilkerson. The boys gave him the title of "Gates" because of his recklessness in spending his money. He came into possession of the name at the time that the lake John W. Gates, the New York and Chicago racing millionaire, was in his heyday. And, while it might be an error to say that the nickname was wholly responsible for Wilkerson's subsequent actions, it may certainly be said that it was partly so. He felt that he had to live up to the reputation of the real Gates.
Before acquiring his affluent name, Wilkerson was what one would call a nice, mild mannered chap. He was, to be sure, temperamental at times, but on the whole he was rather steady for a young fellow. My first acquaintance with him was up in the Adirondack Mountains. He was running between Utica and Montreal, on the Adirondack Division of the New York Central Lines, and although the other porters on the line ran directly from the Grand Central Station to Montreal and return, Wilkerson, who had recently married and lived in New York, was the swing porter and could only get to his home on Sundays, which were his laver days.
For several years he held this run, and during the interim would came to New York every Sunday to see his wife. He called him a faithful husband, and he was really entitled to the appraisement. Any one who has ridden from Utica to Montreal through the Adirondack Mountains can appreciate the irksomeness of a railroad, journey between these two points. For one to make this trip six days in a week and then on the seventh day to ride 474 miles, which is the mileage from Utica to New York and return, is a feat bordering on the superhuman. Wilkerson did it for at least two years.
Finally he got a run from New York to Montreal; over the Rutland Railroad. And front the day he started on this run, he became a different person. It was one of those runs on which the porter's duties consisted of being the porter, cook-and-waiter on his car. It was what the boys termed a "money run". "Gates", as I shall now call him, began riding on the waves of prosperity, insofar as quiescent went. He became the envy of all the porters running to Montreal. Some of these, who were much older in the service than he, tried to displace him, but they couldn't; for in those days, the seniority rule wasn't in effect, and as long as a porter gave service, Pullman superintendents were loathe to make changes.
But, alas prosperity began having its effect upon "Gates." The first intimation of this came to light when his wife charged him with son-support and other domestic infelicities. At the court trial she stated that her husband's perquisites on the road were as high as twenty twenty dollars a trip. This, of course, was somewhat of an exaggeration. "Gates" denied the statement by saying that if he made that much money he would be a second Rockefeller. He was very clever at calling witty rejoinders.
After he and his wife became separated, "Gates" downfall came rapidly, but not before he had made himself the most sought after man in Montreal. Women, as well as men friends, worshipped at his shrine of profligacy. The nights he was in the Canadian city, if not acquainted with his identity, one would have believed that a black Crocuta had arrived in town, so lavish he was in his spending. Unfortunately the life proved too much for the former mild-mannered lad, for after all he was not much more than a boy. His mind and body gave way under his dissipation. He had to leave the road. The last time I saw him he was in the uniform of a soldier. Whether he was among those who fell in No-Man's Land, during the late war, or is still living, I don't know. He has gone from these parts anyway.
I smile when I think of "Gates," the spender. I grow sober when I think of the newly-wed, who was such a dutiful husband. I become and when I think of the soldier who was one of those porters I have known:

Victor Block, personally youthful, and conceded to have, without exception, the most even disposition of any one of the ten thousand porters in the Pullman service, has been granted another extension of time to his retirement from the Pullman employment.
Porter Block, who has reached his three score and ten in 1925, and who, according to the age retirement system, which the Pullman Company has adopted within the last decade, should have been retired last year, has, by this further stretching of active service, established a precedent for continuous employment in the Pullman service. Although employees in the operating department of the Pullman Company are not strictly classified as railroad men, many of the phases of employment under which they work are similar in operation to those which govern the railroad workers in their operations. One of these si age of retirement. To prove, insofar as its employees are concerned, that the railroad pany is not bound to obey a limit, this is the third extension that has been accorded Porter Block.
If followed precisely, Porter Block was due for retirement last November, but through pressurist from sources, having considerable influence in the railroad, world, so it is said, his time was extended to May. At that time, he was given six more months. Now the extension is for another half year. And while this lengthening of time for one part-time employee is in reflection of the company, it does not require a partiality. However, no substantial porter will question the company's actions in the case. Porter Block has been running on the Empire State Express, the premier fast train of the New York Rail Lines, since its inauguration, which was nearly fifty years ago. It is not theorizing that he is one of the most well-known porters in the New York Pullman system. It seems him an extension time, according to one of his fellow workers, is just another way the Pullman Company has of demonstrating its appreciation of a trustworthy porter.
Robert Frazier, who by thrift and economy, has managed to build himself a home in the outskirts of New York City, in a section that is advertised as being restricted, is finding, if all reports are true, that the welcome to his new environment is not as spontaneous as he would like. The "Black Hard" the Ku Klux Klan is kindred anti-Negro organizations, are beginning to make things worse.
ily. The proverbial letters, intimations and other omens of race prejudice, have begun to manifest themselves, so it is reported, to the Fraziers.

Mrs. Leah Laster, Famous Cook, To Reopen Craiggs Restaurant On Nov. 5th
Announcement is made in another section of The Age this week of the reopening on November 5. Of Craigh's Restaurant, 102 West 160th street, which for the past seven years, has been one of the most famous institutions in Harlem. Under its new management, the indications are that this famous dining room will attain even greater reputation for its cooking. Both the new proprietor and her chief assistant have for years been two of the leading cooks in the state of New Jersey. Mrs. Leah Laster, the new proprietor, is owner of Laster Cottage at Spring Lake Beach, N. J., a national known rendezvous at the elite of the Negro race. Also at the group of summer hotels in the state, Laster Cottage has attained a special eminence because of the quality of its meals and the charm of its proprietor as a hostess.
Mrs. Laster's husband, Preston Laster, is a famous cook, and they are assisted by a competent staff that has been transferred from the New Jersey establishment to the dining room in Harlem which in the future will be known as The Laster Dining Room.
Laster Cottage in Spring Lake Beach will continue open and under the same management but the proprietor will divide her time between the two establishments and in the winter months will spend most of her time in New York. Her new dining room is being completely renovated and new equipment installed so that at the formal opening, Saturday, November 5, it will appear as a new place. A number of prominent Harlem citizens are expected to attend the opening.
Mrs. Laster has taken over the property on a lease which took effect on November 1, with the option of purchasing. She was represented in the transaction by the real estate firm of John D.
Officials Are Charged With Despotic Ruling Over Porters' Personal Rights, and With Being Privy To Gaming and Bootlegging
"If the Pullman Co., would meet its sleeping car porters and maids fairly and honestly and with merited consideration, the present company's Employee Representative Plan would make the formation of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters, a union organization, unnecessary," declared a veteran porter, who is nearing a quarter-century of service and whose record is well nigh spotless.
"But," said he, sadly, "this does not obtain. The company's attitude towards its porter and maid employees, as interpreted through actions of the 'official' representatives, seems to be that the employees are entitled to considerate respect only as long as they follow along lines set by this company. A tape at assertion of individual expression meets with an ultimatum from some local official which means compliance or dismissal."
men who have shaded records in the "privileged group." The man with a spotless record, who performs his duty meticulously, who is honest and clean, is not given the same consideration, seemingly, as is extended the man who has had to face charges based on dereliction of duty. And the more serious the charge, said he, the better this superintendent seems to like it.
The veteran porter had just finished reading the story printed in last week's *Ace* concerning the dinner at Tabb's Cafe participated in by a number of Pullman porters who are said to oppose *Bronx* employees. To organize Pullman employees, which story gave two resolutions said to have been adopted at the dinner, in which the brotherhood, was denounced as a trouble-making agency, and citing the Plan of Employee Representation as the best means of promoting employees and company and as the best method of settling-grievances and complaints.
Company Controls Plan
Asked to explain further, he said that the Plan of Employee Representation is actually in the hands of the Pullman Co., as it is operated now, because the men who are supposed to represent the porters in its management are really creatures of the company, afraid to advocate any cause or take any action that has not 'first been approved by the company'. Further, he continued, in putting over any proposition in which the porters are supposed to have a voice, those in charge of affairs are always required to so manipulate the machinery as to bring the result desired by the company. He referred to the annual election by the porter. body of representatives to take part with company representatives in the Plan of Employee Representation conference. In the first place, he said, each porter must be willing and if for any reason he fails to do so the recreatent employee is called to account for the failure.
Occasion is found for criticism in the alleged method of selecting these representatives. The entire list of eligibles is posted, prior to the holding of a general primary, ordinarily scheduled to be held the last of October. The names are listed alphabetically, but there is usually a group of names written in blue pencil, off to one side, as names of men who are particularly eligible, being satisfactory to the testers, most effectively, for these names are generally among those finally listed as representatives of the porters. This year the primary voting began October 20, lasting one week.
Keeping Tab On Voters
From the primary balloting, the ten men receiving highest number of votes are selected, and the real election is held a week after closing of the primary balloting. "There would be no reason to complain," said the veteran porter, "if it were not that in the final voting, the ballot is placed in a small envelope, after the votes have been required, and he is required to write his name on the outside of the envelope. In this manner, when the votes are recapitulated, the tellers can find out just how any particular individual cast his ballot, and this enables the company to mete out, reward or reprisal, as if desires." Incidentally, he charged, some thirty or forty men set down by the police because they failed to vote last year in either primary or election.
Speaking of the resolutions adopted by the dinner group at Tabb's Cafe, the porter said that in at least two Pullman district—the Penn, in New York and the Washington district—copies have been placed in the sign-out" offices, and as the porters report to go out on their runs, they are called upon to add their signatures to the list of those approving the tenor of the statement. Failure to do so, it is alleged, had disastrous consequences to eight porters in the Washington district, said, with a number of others taken off their runs and ordered to report to the superintendent's office to explain.
Makes Serious Charge
Andg another serious allegation is made by the veteran porter. He said that the superintendent of one, district in the east seems to prefer
men who have shaded records, in his "privileged, group." The man with a spotlight record, who performs his duty secretly, who is honest and clean, is not given the same consideration, seemingly, extended the man who has had to face charges based on dereliction of duty. And the more serious the charge, said he, the better this superintendent seems to like it.
The explanation is that this gives the official a club which he can hold over the poor devil's head, compelling him to do as told without regard to personal inclination or desire. "Parker" supposed to be closest to this superintendent and always available to pull his chestnuts out of the fire, is composed mostly of men in this latter class. Then, said he, there is the Pullman Porter's Benefit Association, Perry Parker, great friend of Parker, in Chicago. This was founded by T. R. Webb, as a porters' organization, but when Webb disagreed with Parker's policies, which were approved by Mt. Hungerford, vice-president and general manager of the Pullman, was forced out of the association and is now in private employment.
Incidentally, Parker's whole time is given to his duties as grand chairman of the P. P.-B. A, but there is no salary attached to the position. He was formerly a porter, running between Pittsburgh and Cincinnati, but since assuming the freighting in that capacity. The indications are, declared the yeteran that somebody is paying Mr. Parker a good salary to serve as grand chairman of the P. P.-B. A, and the indications point to the. Pullman Co. And when the Brotherhood of. Sleeping Car Porters was being organized by A. Php Ralph Robinson some others, the Pullman co. extended extensively, from one district to another engaged in active and outspoken opposition to the union organization.
Controls P. P. B. A. Also
Further evidence that the Pullman Co. controls the P. P. B. A., said the porter, is found in the requirement that any expenditure above $50 must first be approved and okeyed by Mr. Kelley, the Pullman Co., attorney. And the company is continually pressing porters to join the P. P. B. A. Another significant fact, he said, is that men who are high-rise are the ones selected for the semi-official positions of porter-instructors, welfare workers, etc.
And here again, said the veteran porter, is a significant fact. The instructors have the power to take porters off their cars, even after they have left the yards for the station, if fault is to be found with the porter's work. And so the porter who has failed to vote at the company behest, who has noigned a company petition or resolution, faces the possibility, of being called from his car to the superintendent's office to answer to an instructor's complaint. And, of course, there is little chance for the porter's word to stand against that of the instructor.

For several years, I was denied the

Mary Ann. Burton of Kansas City, "I
possibly, narrow, and subject to
the power of motherhood," wrote
calia. Now I am the proud mother of
a beautiful little daughter and a true
comrade. I am proud of her accomplishments of other women, would like to know the secret of my happiness, and I will gladly reveal
the secrets. Mrs. Burton offers her advice

to Mrs. Burton, Kansas City, Mo. Correspondence will be strictly confidential.
until the staff of instructors, since only inscrubulous, men would try to up charges in the manner infested, the old veteran said that most of them were honest, but at least one had previously, served time in the Federal Prison at Atlanta while a porter, and another had been arrested in a railroad station by detectives, charged with theft of whiskey. He was discharged from the Pullman services only to show up three months later as an instructor.
. "Numbers". and. Bootlegging
In one of the yards, said the veteran por, there is a flairishing "numbers" playing game conducted by a certain group, the collections running, it is said, as much as $200 to $200 a day, the players being the porters, cleaners and other attaches of the yard, and it is alleged that on at least one day, as seen opening the cash register in which the "numbers" money is kept and counting up the cash receipts
And it is common talk, too, said he, that bootlegging by porters running to southern sections is sponsored in one eastern yard. He has been given a chance by buying liquors in his home town and slipping them to a thirsty patron in the South, at a considerable advance in the price, he is given a tip that the liquor can be procured from a certain place in the city. The price is usually a little more than the porter is asked on the outside, but if he refuses, to buy on the "inside", he soon finds himself in the toils of the law, wondering how it happened. The porter is often withering a party to these operations, also.
Shaking his head sorrowfully, the veteran porter said that conditions at present are vitiating the service. The constant influx of new workers, the turnover amounting to 10 per cent, is armed porters annually, is making it impossible, on the whole, to give the travelling public the service for which the company has always stood. The restriction of personal freedom, causing the firing of many of the older and more experienced porters, is unbearable condition, and the travelling public is losing at the same time that the porter is suffering.

Harlem Health Committee Plans Annual Seal Sale
The first meeting of the session of the Harlem Tuberculosis and Health Committee was held at the offices, 202 West 136th street, Wednesday afternoon, Dr. Henry O. Harding chairman, presided. Two new members were invited to join the committee. Mrs. Augusta M. B. Corbin, president of the Save-a-Life Club, auxiliary to the committee, and Roscoe Conklin resident manager of apartments being erected by John D. Rockefeller jr. for Negroes in Harlem. Reports of the summer activities of the committee and the fifth anniversary celebration in September for the Christmas Seal Sale to be held November 24 to Christmas Day, were discussed.
"The Seal Sale is the Association's only public appeal for funds, but it carries on its program of preventive health work throughout the year," said Dr. Harding, in telling the committee of the plans for this year's sale. "We are all safer because of the health work carried on by this Committee in Harlem. All presences of Harlem should be bury as many as possible because the money spent this way is for their own protection as much as for the aid of those who want help with their health problems."
