TRAGEDY OF THE AMERICAN BEAUTY ROSE 6 VOL.28.NO.41. TRAGEDY C HE man who made the American beauty rose is a beggar on the streets of Washington. The statement sounds more like a "curtail line" for a Theodore Kremer melodrama, or a riotous contrast from Jules Verne, than a setting forth of sober fact; though it is more the less a fact of due and attested so brevity, and even, in all kindness, of some solemnity. The rose was "created," as the phrase goes, in George Bancroft's famous rose garden, by the hostonial's erratic old English gardener, John Brady; it was a legacy to Brady at Mr. Bancroft's death, in token of long and honorable service, and of the fact that Brady had brought it to perfection only after years of inexhaustible patience and care; and it was sold for a pittance, but that is getting ahead of the story. Once upon a time, in 1889, to be precise, after George Bancroft had returned from long diplomatic service in Germany, settled down to a tranquilizing old home in Washington, there grew up among the flower enthusiasts of England, America and the continent a zealous quest for a red rose which could be made to bloom in winter. Mr. Bancroft's ascendance as a rose culturer in this country had been beyond dispute for half a century. At the time of the inauguration of Abraham Lincoln, Mrs. Lincoln despatched of pleasing herself in the arrangements of the White House garden, so she called on Mr. Bancroft for help. This she received in such good and flowing measure that, in acknowledgment of his debt, she sent to the historian Julius Palmer of Isponicas. In reply he wrote her that "for magnificence, the bouquet was a fair counterpart of Mr. Lincoln's brains." What of official recognition then was still lacking for Mr. Bancroft's genius as a rose grower was supplied by Herr Bismarck, who so admired the American minister to Berlin that he supplied him with roses and rose cuttings from the great Bismarck estates in Pomerania. But all this while, despite the genial co-operation of rose growers, and the statesmen, the red rose refused to grow. Its wintertime behavior was, in fact, exasperating beyond all words, if, after months of herculean effort, a branch could be made to put forth a bud some fine morning, it was a sickly purple by noon, and brown by sunset. Little yellow roses had thrived, time out of mind, and these, with camellias and japonicas, were the sole reliance of those who would have flowers for winter decoration. Matters were in this state when Mr. Bancroft moved to Washington, bring the charming old house on Lafayette square to servants; Herman, who came from Berlin, and John Brady, the gardener, from England. John Brady was installed in the quaint L-shaped garden, which ran back to Seventeenth street, and he was instructed, among other things, to reap the glory of creating a tractable red rose. The task was one which jumped with his own desires. The Bancroft garden was scarcely less a personal pride to Brady than to Bancroft, and both secretly believed that no praise of it could be really to extravagant. It became a rudezous for Washington's most distinguished persons; how much so, one can guess from President Arthur's dictum that "The president is permitted to accept the invitations of members of his cabinet, Supreme court judges, and—Mr. George Bancroft." Dozens of times John Brady seemed MAN WHO CREATED IT IS BEGGAR ON THE STREETS OF WASHINGTON NACH BANGROT on the eve of being able to announce the success of his red rose ventures. Once a friend from France brought Mr. Bancroft a cutting of a red rose called "Madame Ferdinand Jemain," which, although it had failed at home, was thought to have possibilities in an American climate. Brady nursed along with a fair degree of conscience not only to please, likely enough that he would mature in this honorable business. But the little alien rose bush sickened and died, and was thrown aside, presumably at the end of its history. Then came the shocking news from England that William Francis Bennett had won the red rose race. He had had an astonishing luck with his plants, and had finally established their hardship and their permanence of color. Bancroft and Brady mourned in secret. True, there was still the American championship to be tried, but the first fine careless capture of success had been already captured. A rose culturer in New York had the good fortune, about this time, to make a name for himself, named the "George Bancroft," but this was not compensation enough either for the historian or his gardener. So back they went to the seedling beds, with renewed determination. In the face of such a touching faith and such abounding energy, the fates were bound to be kind. And so one morning, a delighted yell from his gardener brought Mr. Bancroft scurrying into his garden, to find that in a bed of white and yellow seedlings there stood a strange red rose, looking to stay. If it had come to stay. Its stem had been like of which had never before been seen. Its petals looked to have the hardihood to weather a hundred disasters. Where it had come from nobody could find out. It might have been a stalwart seed left from the scored and discredited "Mme. Ferdinand Jemain," and it might have been just that mysterious freak which the rose had come to take for granted under the name of a "sport." At any rate, there it was, and it remained to be developed. For it must be known at the outset that getting a single bloom is the least of the rose culturer's troubles. In fact, it merely marks their beginning. All new brands of roses are grown from these curiosities called "sports." In a bed of seedlings, about once in so often, an orphan rose will appear which will bear no trace of its parentage, but will have never been found to have never longevity nor been able to reproduce after its kind. its seeds will revert to type. So John Brady set on the uphill climb to perfecting his little red "sport." In due time he did it. And when he had three bushes which he could personally guarantee to reproduce red roses after the original pattern he placed them in the garden in the spring, he would be seen. He had not to wait for the formal approval. Guests for tea in the afternoon were led into the garden by Mr. Minnesota University THE ST. PAUL AND MINNE ERICAN BEAUTY ED IT IS BEGGAR OF WASHINGTON MRS GEORGE HANCROFT THE APPEAL. Bancroft for a "private view" of the coveted red rose. "Oh, that must be Bennett's new rose, the English beauty," said the first woman to spy it. "Not at all, madame," said Brady, proudly, "that is the American red rose." "Then it is the American Beauty," said the lady, not to be outdone. "And there the name originated, and of all Brady's stormiest persuasions could ever dislodge it. For the rose's maker had already decided that it should be named for Judge Hagner, a warm friend of Mr. Bancroft, and Brady's bright particular star, and to have the choice of its name and the christening ceremony swept out of his reach at one fell swoop would have tried the patience of a saint. And finally made the best of it, and contented himself with assuring Judge Hagner that things would have been different if he had had any say in them. From this time on, the history of John Brady and his precious rose begins to take a somber turn. Mr. Bancroft died in 1891, bequeathing the American Beauty to Brady as a testament of his affection and appreciation. The famous gardens passed into other gardens and Brady moved, with his large family, and handful of American Beauty bushes, into a little house outside of Washington. Things went rapidly from bad to worse. Brady had neither money nor the knack of picking up old jobs. His eldest son was still too young for responsibility, and the ages of the others, in regular succession, diminished punctually by a year. His wife was frail, out of patience with power to exhaustion with the care of children. Brady survived the first part of this bleak period by observing the Spanish proverb, "Patience, and shuffle the cards." No stress of want could make him part with his rose bushes, though his wife, regarding him as a sort of monomaniac on this subject, put her noblest persuasions into the task of undoing his resolve. To his reiterated tales of the fortune that would come to him some through the American Beauty rose. That she and the children were hungry that very day and hoot, and that more than her soul was sick with hope deferred. But some prescience of the inherent value of his rose kept Brady obdurate to appeals, domestic or professional. The world of fashion had all but forgotten the interregnum of the American Beauty in the Bancroft gardens. Rose culturers had thought, many of them, that it had never outlived its heyday. Only a few of the more observant had remembered that the treasured bushes had been a legacy to his garden. One of these lasts the role of the Field Brothers, wholesale florists on the old Seventh road, outside of Washington. They made con- --- APOLIS, MINN. SATURDAY UTY ROSE It was on one of these forior occasions that Mrs. Brady's patience snapped and her loyalty faltered. She seized the pampered rose bushes, made haste to Field Brothers, and sold them, one and all, for scarcely more than the price of a single meal. When this was told to Brady, he touched the hour of his supreme tribu-lation. His world fell away from beneath his feet. Not once in the 18 years since then he has the stupar which from him lifted for long enoughe for realization of his misery to silt through. Matters went merently with the rose he made. Field Brothers, by skillful advertising, were able to sell their exclusive right to its reproduction for $5,000. Within a year ten times that amount was being paid for it by enthusiastic purchasers here and abroad. For ten years past a moderate estimate of the amount of money spent annually all over the world for American Beauty roses is $25,000,000. John Brady is still homeless in Washington. His wife and the famished children have died, one after another. He himself is the recipient of small charities from Washington, small charities from Washington, him bits of work, spraying, or cutting, when his mind can be held to his task. At the funeral of William R. Smith, the famous old Scotch superintendent of the National Botanical gardens, who had, at eighty, the reputation of knowing more public men—diplomats, statesmen, and politicians—than any other person then living in the United States, there was an assemblage of men aggregating almost calculable personal distinction. Into the midst of them crept a shabby, bent old man, who, with averted eyes and bowed head sided into a corner and wept without any doubt the most horrible and obscure sorrower at the funeral ceremony. He was John Brady, maker of the American Beauty. Mercifully he does not feel the infinite pathos of his lot. His real tragedy ended 18 years ago, when having nothing left to hope, he had nothing left to fear. If you search him out and question him, you will find him curiously apathetic. "Me? I am nothing—nobody." he will say to you. "My rose? Yes, that was my fortune, but they took it away from me. I cannot make another—I am not." And he will tell you this with the most exquisite manners, learned, perhaps, in the Bancroft gardens. His voice gently, courteous and instant before the lethargy steals over him again you will glimpse the power that could drag from earth and make permanent the most wonderful rose she gives. He has kept, or perhaps got back, an impressive sweetness of nature. One thing only stirs him to overt flashes of rebellious misery—it is to be asked to see or handle an American Beauty rose. stant offers to Brady—offers which, from the point of view of their own *poverty*, were handsome enough. But they seemed beneath contempt to the gardener who dreamed of empire. Not so, however, to Mrs. Brady. She wept, cailed, threatened. She conjured her husband, in the manner of common humanity, not to let her children stare before his very eyes, made her no reply, rather than by the crushing method of leaving the house, to take counsel of his dreams outside. TRAVEL IN THE EAST The "Gemming" Country of Famed Old Ceylon. Native Superstitious in Evidence Everywhere—Three Small Votive Lamps Always Kept Burn-ing by the Devout Natives. Ceylon—I wanted to see the "gaming" country, and journeyed by train to Aviselawe, whence I drove by coach the twenty-six miles to Ratnapathu; it was late in the afternoon when at last I reached Ratnapathu resthouse, and Adam's Peak itself appeared over the jungle, glorious under warm, rosy cloudlets that seemed to be playing a game of "touch mountain" as they passed from one pinacle to another. The rest house is pitched high up on the hillside, and in front of it the broad Kela Gange river gleamed that night under the stars, and the mysterious gloom of the forest broiled behind a curtain of winking fire-flies. Less than half-way to the sea, up among the hills on the southern side of the river, an English syndicate is working a plumbago mine with first-class machinery and expert engineers. I stopped to visit this mine, and in its dark "levels," blasted out of the gneiss rock in the bowels of the earth, saw the plumbago be hacked out in lumps. Near the top of the shaft, in a maiden wooden box, three little vents for one, one kept burning—one light for God, one for the company, and one for the miners. During the second day of the river journey came the shooting of some rather gentle "rapids," where brown rocks thrust their noses out of the water and we rushed down splashing on a slide to lower level. At last, some Cingalce Superstition: A "Luck-Pole" on the Site of a New House in Ceylon. miles after we had passed the opening of the Kelani river canal, the long bridge of Kaletura appeared at the river mouth with a line of fiery sunset sky behind it, and I saw again the railway, and that fringe of cocanut palms against the sea which more than any other detail is typical of Ceylon. COLUMBUS WAS A SPANIARD Noted Cuban Scholar Asserts that He Has Documents to Prove This Claim. New York—Dr. Constantino de Hora y Dora haga de Havana, a Cuban scholar of note and a Fellow of the Royal Spanish Geographical society, has undertaken to prove to the satisfaction of the American Geographical society and the Hispanic society of America that Christopher Columbus was a Spanishland and not an Italian. He maintains that Columbus was born at Pontevedra, Galicia, Spain, and not at Genoa, Italy. Dr. Horta has gathered a mass of documents to prove his contention, and these are now in New York awaiting the consideration of the American Geographical society and the Hispanic society. After these organizations have completed their examination, Dr. Horta purposes to publish the details of his research in a pamphlet which will be sent to governments, universities and civic authorities throughout Latin America, that they may rejoice in the knowledge that Columbus was of their own blood.

HAS ITS PECULIAR CHARM Market of Guadaloupe One of the Most Beautiful That the Tourist Can Visit. The market of Gaudaloupe is one of the most beautiful of its size in the western world. Its huge glass dome is pierced by tall palm trees that form natural pillars supplementing those of iron that support the roof of glass. The fish exhibit is the show of the morning, the "blue silk" and "pink silk" fish taking precedence over all others for real beauty. They are laid out on shining marble counters, next to the bankers of dying fish—great piles of shining silver. A few years ago it dawned upon the people who were running the market that they might do a larger business if they had a car line of some kind. So Women of Guadaloupe. they put their heads together and devised a means of transit that for general effectiveness goes ahead of many a more ambitious road of rails and electricity. Today if your business takes you from the market to the sea—a long journey of a quarter of a mile—you may ride on the tram line, the equipment of which consists of one white mule, one driver, one seller of tickets—a woman—one taker of tickets—a man—and one car that seats ten passengers. The mule is decorated with a bunch of flamboyant feathers that lie over his ears like a gaudy ornament. The driver is provided with a horn, more brassy, more noisy than a dozen ordinary fish horns, which he is supposed to blow a few minutes before the car starts on its journey over the quarter-mile course and at every street corner as he approaches it. Both the seller of tickets and the collector ride on the car, and both assist with the horn and with the mule when called on. The ride is never devoid of interest. CORN CRIB BANK INSECURE Fire Transformers 150 $20 Gold Pieces Into a Mass of Yellow Metal. Chicago.—One hundred and fifty bright and shining $20 gold pieces belonging to Thomas Ballard, owner of a farm at South Western avenue and West 135th street, were quickly compacted into an irregular gump of a metal a few days ago. Ballard had a mania for collecting $20 gold pieces. He liked to have them around so well that he got together $3,000 worth of them and stored them in a corner of his corn crib. To keep them from getting lonesome he carelessly chucked in a matter of $500 in paper money. A short time ago he took a load of hay and started for Blue Island. The morning was calm and bright and Ballard danced peacefully on the top of the load. He was startled from his drive by the sound of his name being called. Lowe, around the behead a man running frantically after him. "Your barn is on fire!" screamed the man. Quickly wheeling his team, Ballard pulled the hay rack around at right angles and dumped the load by the wayside and raced madly back to his farm. A pathetic sight met his eyes. The barn had burned. Also a shed and several smaller outbuildings. Fire had just attacked the corn crib. Shooting excitedly for the men who wished to fire to direct their efforts to the northeast corner of the crib, Ballard told them that his money was stored there. It was almost too late. The fire spread with almost incredible rapidity and was soon licking at the corner where lay the golden hoard. The flames were eventually quelled and as soon as the rulns were cool enough the search of the ashes for the treasure began. Two or three crisped bills were found; $3,000 in gold was a lumpy bill; $2,000 pieces remained some semblance of $20 gold pieces. Ballard mournfully surveyed what was left of a once beautiful pile of coin. Use Straw for Tea Drinking.

Charm of Ancient Times to Be Met With at Every Turn—Country of Immense Views and Magnificent Sunsets. Geneva. — "Switzerland for the Swiss," is the occasional plaint that catches the eye of the reader of the Swiss journals, the latest items of the kind being the little communing of Rd in a recent Journal de Geneva. "The strangers are here," it begins, with their porters, their cooks, that with the interior of the panramas and shops, and the souvenirs of the shops—will they not presently make our country uninhabitable? But when the day does come," he continues in substance, "and we shall be obliged to abandon the Alps, which will still remain to us the great Swiss plateau." The Germans do not cease to boast of flowery Luneburg, the Black Forrest, the Bords du Rhin, the Thuringian hills, and of the Saxon Switzerland, and perhaps drawn by their persistent praise, we may get to see them, but then, they resemble the scenery of the Swiss plateau. "Do you know of it?" he continues. "The foot of the Jura, the Fribourg country, the Toggenbourg, High Thurgau, the outskirts of Schaffhausen, the banks of the Aar and the Reus, the little lakes of Blenne, Hallwyl and the Greiffenseen. And do you know that there are little villages where there are still the good old inns with their wrought iron swing-signs, just as the days of the diligence? Do you really know where the sunsets are here, the preales, from which the view is immense and the sunsets are magnificent?" There used to be in this old Switzerland the ancient customs. Sundays, when fair, the forests were filled with the young girls in white, with bare arms and flowers in their hair, and troops of children loaded with the berries and blossoms of the country. Now there are no troops of the children, no songful young men, no girls in white. You rumble in the woods—it is hot below, but it is cool and fragrant in groves of pine—but there is no one there. You stroll leisurely, you fill your handkerchief with chanterelles and this is what you see. "A vast expanse of hills, the nearer green, the middle distric... the other green are masses of forests, one behind another, its lage is out there crowded by its lofty castle, the covered bridge below and the calm river flows without so much as a ruffle. Houses play at hide and seek with you, and their chimneys smoke in unison like cronies, for the In the Alpine Country. hour of supper is approaching. You hear the village bells, first the precenter telling the hour and in his wake the others in solos, duets and trios. Far away the lake is a burning spot in the vast expanse and the long line of the Jura is brown. See, the Alps are turning to roses." This is the Switzerland to which Rd would call the attention and appreciation of his countrymen, of which, indeed, they now know but little, "and when you gaze upon it." he concludes, "you cannot help but feel within you the sentiment, 'My Switzerland, my beautiful home.'"

FOR HIGHER EDUCATION President Taft Says It Is Essential to Full Development tial to Full Development. Once every in one afternoon you will meet a man whose vision is a bit clouded, who talks about the waste of money in teaching men of your race the curriculum of an academic institution. Instead of sending them to the university, the claim is made that they should be sent to manual training institutions. Such a man has never thought deeply on the subject and does not understand that as a race which is striving onward and upward you need many who shall be leaders—men who shall figure in the learned professions, many of them as physicians, as lawyers and especially as ministers. Race Has High Ideals. I believe in the higher education of the race so that the leaders of the Afro-American people may have high ideals, and I believe they have. I believe that they subscribe, as perhaps some others in our community life do not, to the majesty of the law and have respect for constituted authority [hearty applause] and for our institutions as they are. [Great applause].—President Taft at Howard University Meeting. SATURDAY, OCTOBER 12, 1912. THE JIM CROW BOCMERANG It is with considerable gratification that we learn that the Court of Appeals of Kentucky has awarded damages in the sum of $3,750 to Miss Rella Ritchel, a Jewess of Kokomo, Ind., who was forced to ride in a "jim crow" car while traveling in Kentucky a little more than a year ago, and was finally put off the train. The lady in question was so dark in complexion that she could not convince the train crew that she was not an Afro-American, and so, according to the infamous "jim crow" law of that state, she could not be allowed to ride in the same car with white M. H. OUR FRIEND P PRESIDENT TAFT. Who Will Be Re-elected President of the United States in November. W. H. H. HON. JAMES S. SHERMAN. Who Will Be Re-elected Vice President of the United States in November people. We don't blame her for kicking because she had to ride in the "jim crow" car, for every one knows that the cars so designated are not first-class cars, and every fair-minded person cannot but agree that any one who pays for a first-class ticket should get first-class fare. Yet Afro-Americans are COMPELLED to pay first-class fare and then are COMPELLED to ride in "jim crow" cars. This law is a specimen of the spirit of fairness that seems to be inherent in the "superior" race, wherever the brother in black is concerned. The senseless, inhuman, inconsistent color prejudice of the "superior" race cost the railroad on which this dark-skinned Jewess was so horribly outraged (?) a near sum of money, and that's where our gratification comes in. We are only sorry that the damages were not $10,000. Of course, too, we are gratified that so far as outraged feelings are concerned one of the alleged "superior" race was given a taste of the everyday fare that is handed to Afro-Americans, in that they are treated worse than cattle on "jim crow" car railroads, albeit they are always charged first-class rates. And there are some of them who have just as fine sensibilities of right and wrong of filth and cleanliness, of unjust segregation and distinctions as any member of the "superior" race. We hope some more dark-skinned white people will be treated as was the Jewess and get greater money damages.

But this is just what happened at Cheyenne, Wyo., this week, when 300 convicts lynched Frank Wigfall, a black man who was accused of assaulting a white woman 71 years old. Wigfall may have been guilty, doubtless, but he was been placed in the penitentiary for safe keeping to prevent him from being lynched and the criminals confined there were allowed to murder him. We have no word in extermination for Wigfall, but we do think he should have been protected by the officers of the penitentiary. It strikes us that if those convicts can lynch a man at 8:30 in the morning the management of that prison is very poor. And now we understand they threaten to lynch any one of their number who turns states evidence. THE APPEAL has constantly, for the last twenty years, denounced lynching as much for the effect it would have on whites as on blacks, and our contentions have been proved to have been correct in several instances. Lynching has become so common that it is almost as easy to get up a mob to lynch a white man as a black one. Lynching is wrong in principle and brutalizing to mankind generally. Once, years ago, in telling of a lynching to Robert Ingersoll, he told that a lot of Roberts were present to witness the burning of a black man. Ingersoll said, "did you say ladies?" "No," said he, "not ladies, brutes, whose children will reap the harvest of their unwomanly act." One of the foundation stones of this country is, that every man is presumed to be innocent until he is proven to be guilty, and is entitled to a free and impartial trial by a jury of his peers, and we contend that this should apply to the 1,100,000 Afro-Americans who are native born citizens as to any others of this cosmopolitan country. Right wrongs no man, and what ye sow that shall ye also reap, so it is impossible for the perperturators of these brutal outrages to go unpunished, for, "Vengeance is mine. I will repay saith the Lord" and, "Through the mills of the Gods grind slowly, they grind exceeding fine." Prof. Franklin H. Gildings, sociologist of Columbia University, says, there will be a war between the whites and the blacks in this country when the latter rises to a plane where they can back up their claim for equality. He also declares that enfranchisement was a blunder, and that political rights had been a hindrance rather than a help.

"DUTY TO VOTE REPUBLICAN TICKET" Says Former Senator Foraker to the Afro-American Ministers "It is the duty of every loyal, self-respecting Afro - American in the Nation to rally to the support of the Republican party and vote its ticket, from President Taft at the head of it, down to the last man on the county ticke- tter."—Former Senator Foraker in letter to Afro-American Baptist Ministerial Association. The following is the full text of the letter of former United States Senator Josiah Benson Foraker in reply to the request of the president "Minister" of Ucincinnati for advice as to the duty of the Afro-American people in the coming election: "Cincinnati, Ohio, Oct. 1, 1912. The Baptist Ministers' Union. "Gentlemen: I have before me a copy of the resolutions adopted by you yesterday in which you recite that the Hon. Theodore Roosevelt has injected into this campaign "an issue of vital importance to the colored race and the Afro-American generally are in a confused state of mind as to the meaning and effect of said issue on their lives as their duty in the coming election" and as making advisive you as to what in my opinion is meaning and effect as applied to the colored race of the issue thus raised and duty of Afro-Americans in the coming election. "If you had asked me to state with out qualification the meaning of the issue you mention, I should have die HARRIS & EWING WASHINGTON, D.C. HARRIS & EWING WASHINGTON, D.C. clined to undertake to give an answer to your inquiry, for no matter what I might have thus said as to its meaning I would probably have been charged with misrepresentation. But inasmuch as you ask for only my personal opinion of what it means presume I am safe, at least from the charge of misrepresentation, in saying that in my opinion it means to make of the progressive party in the South a white man's party for the purpose of popularizing the party with the white people, especially the white Democrats of the South, and thus make it possible to break up the solid support of the Democratic party by the Southern States. "So understanding this new issue, as you term it, it has no novelty. From time to time of late years efforts have been made in a number of Southern states to organize among Republicans a so-called 'Lily-White' party. without exception been so loyal to our government and everything the party has presented; standing all such short facts remains that the Reply is the only hope that has of fair political treaty done anything political status and to impurities. "I need not cite any support this statement as cratic party. The leaders try not only admit but the that is said and suggested the progressive party is whatever they may say neutralized by the promotion which cannot be than the beginning that we results far more disastrous asperating than any one The well known hope and purpose of the advocates of this movement have been to overcome the prejudice, on account of the colored man, of the white Democrats of the South against becoming Republicans and thus make it possible for the Republicans to capture from the Democrats some of the Southern states. "I have never had any sympathy with this 'Lily-White' movement among the Republicans, because it invoked a denial to the Afro-American of his political rights, and for the same reason I have no sympathy with Mr. Roosevelt's proposition. Obnoxious Proposition. "It does not help the matter to confine the proposed rule to the Southern states. The 'Lily-White' Republicans did the same. On the contrary, it makes the proposition more obnoxious, since it sectionalizes the country and denies that equality of political rights under the constitution and the laws of the country that it is justly the proud boast of the Republican party to have conferred. Besides it would, in my opinion, be but an entering wedge to further denials of rights to the colored people, not only in the South but also in the North. You have only to recall the vote in Ohio at the recent Constitutional election, whereby an overwhelming majority was registered against striking out the word 'white' from the Ohio constitution, a word that has been a dead letter ever since the war amendments to the Constitution of the United States were adopted—to see the extent of the prejudice that can be aroused against the colored man here in our own state, where we are supposed to have outlived everything of such unworthy character. The degree of prejudice thus manifested here indicates how easy it would be to denail the equality of right in the Northern states with whole proposition is in conflict with Republican sentiment and Republican beliefs, and not in, my judgment, be given any countenance at all by any one who calls himself a Republican. "A good deal has been said recently about the battle of Armageddon. In view of this proposition, if I were a colored man I would want to hear less about Armageddon and more about Appomattox. Deeds That Count. "The greatest of all the achievements of the Republican party was the abolition of slavery and the enfranchisement of your whole race, and the planting of them on the same plane of political equality with the white people of this country in the presence of the constitution and the laws. To go back now to undo that in whole or in part is not progress, but retrogression character that is wholly inconsistent with the spirit by which all are actuated who are battling for the Lord. "Nobody knows more than I do or feels more keenly than I do the fact that the Republican party has all times done its full duty by the Afro-Americans, who have almost who have almost without exception been so steadfastly loyal to our government and institutions and everything the Republican party has presented; but notwithstanding all such shortcomings, the fact remains that the Republican party is the only hope the colored man has of fair political treatment. It is the only party that has acutally and practically done anything to better his political status and to improve his opportunities. "I need not cite any testimony to support this statement as to the Democratic party. The leaders of that party not only admit but they justify all the progressive parties suggested. So far as the progressive parties are concerned, whatever they may say or propose is neutralized by the proposition you mention which cannot be otherwise than the beginning that would lead on to results far more disastrous and exasperating than any one has yet suggested. Ship and Sea. "Much, therefore, as the Republican party may have fallen short of whit it should have done in this or that or the other instance it remains that it is the only political organization to which the Negro can look with hope for the future. In other words it is as true now as when first stated that for the Afro American 'the Republican party is the ship; all else is the sea.' Every Self-respecting Colored Man Should Support Republican Ticket. "In addition to these great serious questions for the colored man there is involved in this approaching election the additional question to which you have called my attention. The trai and stable government and bills of rights are as important to the colored man as they are to white man, for what affects the one affects the other. The colored man has the further question to consider, about which you have asked me to express an opinion, and that question is sufficient of itself, as I have tried to indicate, to make it the duty of every loyal, self-respecting colored man in the nation to rally to the support of the Republican party and its ticket, from President Taft at the head of it down to the last man on the county ticket. "Very truly, "J. B. FORAKER." --- PRESIDENT TAFT'S DEEP SYMPATHY FOR THE RACE. I am fully alive to the heart pangs that a colored man endures when suffering from the contemptuous insults of white men not at all his equal either in point of intelligence or devotion to duty. I know the sense of injustice that has oftentimes burned itself into his breast when he realizes that his rights have been trampled upon and his claims to fair treatment rejected solely because of the color of his skin—President William Howard Taft. AFRO-AMERICANS AT WHITE HOUSE Race Fares Well, Under Taft Administration. ANNUAL SALARIES $20,000. Twenty-seven Colored Employees Place of Custodian Created For Major (Now Lieutenant Colonel) Arthur Brooks, National Guard of the District of Columbia—His Commission Signed by President Taft. When Mr. Taft became president, March 4, 1909, there were six colored messengers and laborers employed in the executive office. In the reorganization of the office in 1911 two were transferred to positions in the departmental service. One was afflicted with tuberculosis, and the president had him transferred to a good position in the war department in New Mexico on advice of his physician. Since the president's inauguration three colored employees have been added—Major Arthur Brooks, commanding First Separate battalion, N. G. D. C., for whom the place of custodian was created; William Pannell and Harry L. Mickey. In the executive mansion the following Afro-Americans, in addition to several others who are still on the rolls, were employed at the time the president came into office. Messrs. Duncan, Amos, Brent, Reeder and Pinckney, Mr. Duncan was transferred to the treasury department at an increased salary. Mr. Brent was transferred as a clerk to the city postoffice at an increased salary. Mr. Reeder was transferred to the state department. Mr. Pinckny was given a good place in the executive office, and Mr. Amos was given a good place in New York. All of these places were filled by the president with colored men. In addition the president appointed the following Afro-American employees at the executive mansion: W. W. Brown, J. W. Mays, S. C. Jackson, L. C. Peters and Miss Annie Brooks. When the president came into office there were five colored coachmen and hostlers at the White House stables. On account of changing from carriages to automobiles, chauffeurs and footmen were employed, but places were found in the departments for four of these coachmen and hostlers and the other voluntarily accepted a position in New York. There are on the regular payroll of the executive office six colored employees whose salaries aggregate $5,600 per annum. On the regular payroll of the executive mansion there are twenty colored employees whose annual salaries aggregate $11,562.

A number of colored men and women are employed for duty at functions during the social season and their pay in the aggregate amounts to more than $1,000. The total amount paid to Afro-Americans at the White House is nearly $20,000 per annum. After twenty-five years of faithful service as the commanding officer of a battalion of the nationguard of the District of Columbia, Major Arthur Brooks has recently been retired with the rank of lieutenant colonel. His commission was signed by President Taft. Lieutenant Colonel Brooks is still on duty as custodian at the White House. Democratic Promises Broken The southern states were readmitted to the Union in 1868, after the civil war, and it was expressly provided that no state should ever abridge the right of any voter. The act passed July 28, 1868, was as follows: "That each of the states of North Carolina, South Carolina, Louisiana, Georgia, Alabama and Florida shall be entitled and admitted to representation in congress as a state of the Union when the legislature of such state shall have duly ratified the amendment to the constitution of the United States proposed by the thirty-ninth congress, known as Article 14, upon the following fundamental conditions: That the constitution of neither of said states shall be so amended or changed as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote in said state who are entitled to vote by the constitution thereof herein recognized except as a punishment for such crimes as are now felonies at common law whereof they shall have been convicted under laws equally applicable to the inhabitants of all the states." Four of the states named have passed laws restricting the right of suffrage, and in all of the southern states the laws are enforced in such a way as to debar thousands of men from exercising their rights as citizens because their skins are black. The southern states were readmitted to the Union upon the fundamental condition that they would never amound or change their constitutions so as to deprive any citizen or class of citizens of the United States of the right to vote. It was a sacred obligation. Have they kept it? Can the Democrats, who have deliberately broken their promises, be trusted? The election of Woodrow Wilson, southern born and southern bred, his mind filled with southern Democratic traditions, can bring no possible good to the Afro-American. "Let us hold fast to that which we know is good." President Taft has denounced lynching in more vigorous terms than any other president. He advocated the rope for lynchers. President Taft appointed an Afro- American to the highest appointive office as yet attained by the race. ion that the door of hope—the door of an, no matter how worthy, purely upon RE ROOSEVELT.

MINNEAPOLIS SUNDAY FORUM. Preparing for a Vocational Lecture Series of Six Lectures, Worth Six Dollars for Fifty Cents. Dollars for Fifty Cents. The Minneapolis Sunday Forum is arranging to give a series of Vocational Lectures, six in number at St. Peter A. M. E. and Bethesda Baptist churches, alternating between these churches. For these lectures they have secured the services of the president and professors of the University of Minnesota, and it goes without saying that they will be up-to-the-minute. These lectures are not given for the purpose of making money, but for education and good of those who feel an interest in keeping abreast of the times. Note the subjects and the lecturers: Oct. 18—"MEDICINE AS A VOCATION," by F. J. Wulling, of College of Pharmacy, U. of M., Bethesda Baptist church. Nov. 1—"DOMESTIC WORK AS A VOCATION," by lecturer to be supplied, St. Peter A. M. E. church. Nov. 15—"TEACHING AS A VOCATION," by Prin. D. D. Mayne, Prof. of pedagogy, College of Agriculture, U. of M., Bethesda Baptist church. Dec. 6—"AGRICULTURE AS A VOCATION," by A. F. Woods, Dean of College of Agriculture, U. of M., St. Peter A. M. E. church. Dec. 20—"SOCIAL SERVICE WORK AS A VOCATION," Dr. George E. Vincent, President of U. of M., Bethesda Baptist church. The very insignificant sum of only 50 cents is charged for a season ticket entitling the purchaser to attend all six of the lectures. Admission to any one lecture, 25 cents. Every one can therefore see the advantage to be gained by purchasing season tickets, which are being sold by a number of young ladies and gentlemen of the Twin Cities. Please bear in mind that the days for these lectures are all Fridays and the lectures will begin promptly at 8:00 o'clock p. m., whether a half dozen people are in the house or not. Come early if you wish to hear all. Everybody is invited.—Advertisement. Band Byos Ball GRAND BALL! MONDAY EVE, OCT. 21 AT SOUTH SIDE AUDITORIUM Cor. Third Street and 12th Ave. So.

The Wedding Is Sollenized with Munc Social Eclat at the Home of the Bride, on Tuesday Evenings, October 3, at 6:00 o'Clock P. M. On last Tuesday evening there was one of the nicest home weddings that the people of St. Paul have witnessed in quite a long while. The high con- tracting parties were Mr. Augustus D. Bennett and Mrs. Frances F. Martin, and the wedding was ceremonized the beautiful residence of the bride No. 832 W. Central avenue, at 6:00 o'clock P. M. The fact that the ceremony was to be performed at so early an hour in the evening had a tendency to cause the guests to arrive early, and when Mrs. B. C. Archer began to play the wedding march the parlers were filled with an expectant throng as the bridal party descended the stairway with slow and measured tread. The bride was attended by Mrs. M. E. garden, a sister of the bride, Mrs. H. F. McIntyre and Mrs. Anna Bell Harris. The best man was Mr. E. W. Crancun. When the bridal party had taken its proper position in the front parlor before Rev. H. P. Jones, pastor of St. James A. M. E. church, he proceeded to read the ceremony that made the twain one. The bride wore a handsome gown of light blue satin over which was draped white silk creponette beautifully embroidered with white silk and silver dinsel. She carried a large bouquet of brides' roses. The lady attendants were richly and handsomely gowned. The groom and best man wore the conventional black. Evidently the high contracting parties are of the same mind of the creator who in the creation said: "It is not good that man should be alone"; for both have sailed the matrimonial seas and do not believe that marriage is a failure, as evidenced by their willingness to try it again, and their hearty responses to the momentous question propounded to each in the marriage ceremony. The usual congratulations followed the ceremony and then followed refreshments, which were served from a handsomely decorated table in the spacious dining room. M. Mrs. Lobbins presided over the culinary department and excellent service was supplied by Messrs. M. A. Bolling, Earl C. Walker, Homer Goins, S. L. Runson and B. C. Archer. Misses Blanche Walker, Manie Goinis and Eunice Glass, Charlotte Gill- bard and B. Floyd presided at the punch bowls.
