With the fall season well upon us, we are getting down to business. Our S. S. teachers' meeting opened its series of meetings at Bro. Göo. James this week. Prayer meetings are being held regularly on Wednesday evenings, to which we invite the public. Our pastor will return from the East this week and take up his work. Dist. No. 2, met this week at Mrs. Mildred Johnson's No. 479 Thomas St. Members were out in force. Splendid meeting. On account of pressing business matters, the Editor of Pilgrim notes will be compelled to drop this work. Next week a paper outlining our work in Africa will conclude the series of articles written by your humble servant.—W. P. Hough. If our church could do so well with only half its District working, what might we have done collectively. Surely the effort is worth while, and there is every reason why it should be so, for the tenanimity of thought and action, applicable in church work equally as much so, as any other part of our loss reminds us forcibly that we should at all times strive to do the greatest good to the greatest numbers. Therefore it becomes our duty as Christians working together, under his banner to come into closer touch with each other, thereby getting better acquainted, developing the essential things in Christian work, viz. Unity, which after all will prove to be one of the most valuable assets that Pilgrim ever possessed. Harmony, that magic word, means everything in every branch of service, and in every walk of life. It is the open door to the spiritual as well as temporal things which go to make up life. THE LAYMENS MOVEMENT. "Missions" is the slogan of the Laymens' movement, and aside from current expense, missions cover everything. Everyone expressed themselves as satisfied that we should without delay take hold of and further the up-building of the Masters Kingdom, realizing that Pilgrim should do her part in the Evangelization, and Christianizing of the World. &DVERTISE-IT HELPS.

Cleveland's Leading Negro Lawyer Will Again Be Councilman at Large. Cleveland, O.-At the Republican primaries Thomas W. Fleming, who is now a member of the city council, serving as one of the councilmen at large, was again nominated from a field of seventeen candidates as one of six councilmen at large upon the Republican ticket. This is the third successive time the Republicans of Cleveland have nominated Mr. Fleming for councilman at large, which is a distinct honor. He is the first colored man to serve as a member of the city council of Cleveland, being nominated and elected two years ago, and he is the only one to serve as councilman at large in the state of Ohio. Mr. Fleming has been prominent in Ohio politics for years and is now serving his third term as a member of the Ohio Republican state executive committee. He was elected as an alternate delegate to United States Senator T. E. Burton to represent the Twenty-first district of Ohio in the last national Republican convention. Mr. Fleming is a lawyer and prominent in the social life of Cleveland. He has been prominently mentioned for a position in Washington. H. C. SMITH FOR DELEGATE. Civic Interests Association of Cleveland Working Hard For Him Cleveland.-The Citizens' Association of Civic Interests has been organized by negro voters, primarily to secure the nomination of Harry C. Smith as a delegate to the constitutional convention. Smith was named on the slate of the Cuyahoga county conference of the convention, but that slate was sponged at its last meeting. The nomination will now come from his own race. The new association plans to hold meetings in various parts of the city and advance Smith's candidacy. A committee consisting of James R. Snyder, Benjamin Douglass and Charles S. Sutton has been appointed to assist Smith in taking out nomination papers and to arrange for booming his campaign. THEATRICAL LIFE AMONG AFRO-AMERICANS NOTED. Bert A. Williams' Success Pointed to as Worthy Example. BY LESTER A. WALTON. Whenever the theatrical situation of today relative to the colored performer is made the chief topic of conversation invariably those engaged in discussion make a comparison of present conditions with those of the past, which usually brings forth pessimistic utterances, full grown sighs and gloomy expressions not calculated to put one in good cheer. I, too, have often shaken my head significantly and have found myself in low spirits whenever the subject was brought up in my presence for consideration, but recent events have caused me to shake my head less as well as sigh less vigorously, neither do I utter as many murmurs of discontent, when speaking of the colored amusement world. So busily engaged have we been within the last year or so bemoaning the dark aspect of the colored show business that we have unconsciously got into the habit of looking at things out of blue spectacles only. Many of us have failed to pay particular attention to the steps of progress several of our colored artists have been making lately. If a New York playgoer was asked to tell who was the biggest hit in all the summer shows produced in the metropolis during the torrid season the answer would surely be Bert A. Williams. Although Mr. Williams is traveling with a large white production and may not be so closely associated with members of his race, he reflects great credit on the race of which he is a member. No colored performer has ever reached the position now occupied by Bert Williams. As the real star of a large Broadway production he is certainly a bigger man individually today than when a member of the famous team of Williams and Walker. He is now playing in theaters in which it was never possible for Williams and Walker to secure booking. So if it is true that races are nowadays elevated by the work and success of individuals and not so much by the efforts of the masses then the height reached by Bert A. Williams in the theatrical world is not alone his success, but that of the Negro. That he is not the star of a colored organization is deeply deplored by hundreds of citizens of color, but it must not be overlooked that conditions at this time warrant his actions in becoming connected with a white production.

Memory Verses, 17-19—Golden Text, Ezek. ill, 17—Commentary Prepared by Rev. D. M. Stearns. It is most helpful to consider these men who were truly sent of God and who faithfully delivered His messages. The heart of all their messages was the one to whom they all bare witness (Acts x, 43); the one whom Ezekiel saw as a man upon a throne (1, 26); the one for whom the throne of David still waits, who will be King over all the earth and rule the world in righteousness (Luke 1, 32, 33; Zech. xiv, 9). Ezekiel was one of the captives in Babylon, and, like Daniel, he was there for his own good and the good of others (Jer. xxiv, 5), that he might turn the people to God. The hand of the Lord was specially upon him, as it is said at least seven times (1, 3; ill, 14, 22; vili, 1; xxxii, 22; xxxvii, 1; xl, 1), and by the Spirit of the Lord he saw visions of God, heavenly things as in chapter 1, and things at Jerusalem on earth as in chapter viii, things then taking place or about to take place as in chapter xii, and things yet future as in chapter xxxvii. When we have become children of God by receiving the Lord Jesus Christ there is nothing we need so much as to be filled with the Holy Spirit and have the hand of God upon us, controlling, guiding, working. If we are in His hand for His pleasure, inasmuch as the pleasure of the Lord shall prosper in His hand (issa. lili, 10), it will prosper through us if we are only willing and obedient. The aim of every believer who is right with God must be the glory of God, that God in all things may be glorified and the time of His kingdom hastened (I Pet. iv, 11, 13; v, 10). In chapter 1 the prophet saw the likeness of the glory of the Lord in the cloud, and fire and brightness, and the living creatures, and the wheels and the throne over all with the man upon it (chapter 1, 3; xvii, 28). In chapter x, 20 he tells us that he knew the living creatures were the cherubim, and I believe that Adam and Eve and the antediluvian believers saw in the cherubim in Eden symbols of what redeemed ones shall be in the kingdom. Before it is time to teach this lesson I hope to have ready a booklet on "The Cherubim." It is only as we are filled with visions of God and glory that we can be His faithful witnesses here in this ungodly world. There is rebellion against God on every side as truly as in the days of Ezekiel (chapters 11, 8-8; 11, 7), and the word of truth is not popular. It is even according to Isa. xxx, 9-11, but if Spirit filled and beholding the glory we shall not be moved by what we see and hear all about us. As the Lord's messenger or watchman Ezekiel was to hear the word at His mouth and give them warning from Him (verse 17). His orders were: "Speak My words unto them whether they will bear or whether they will forearman." "Eat this roll and go speak unto the house of Israel." "Speak with My words unto them." All My words receive in thine heart and go and tell them, thus saith the Lord God (ii, 7; iii, 1, 4, 10, 11). The messenger of the Lord must never get up his own message nor speak from his own heart merely, but he must eat the words of the Lord according to this lesson and Jer. xv, 16; Rev. x, 8-11. Like this prophet and John in Patmos, we will find the word sweet to our taste, but afterward bitter (iii, 3, 14), for there will be an opposition to it on the part of many which will enable us to sympathize with Jeremiah in his experience of chapter xx, 8-10. May there also be in us such a burning that we cannot but speak the words of truth, however much we may be tempted not to do so (Acts 1v, 20). The prophet's seven days' astonishment (verse 15) reminds us of Job's friends who sat with him seven days and nights without speaking a word (Job 11, 13) and of the words of Ps. xxxix, 9, "I was dumb, I opened not my mouth because Thou did it." Concerning verses 18 to 21 of our lesson compare chapters xxxiii, 7-14, and note Prov. xxiv, 11, 12, and see our responsibility to give to others the glad tidings which are for all people. We are put in trust with the gospel and are debtors to all who have never heard, and we will be greatly ashamed in that day if we have been unfaithful to our trust (I Thess. 11, 4; Rom. 1, 14-16; I John 11, 28). It was one who belonged to the wicked one who said, "Am I my brother's keeper?" (I John 11, 12), and we must be careful lest while professedly Christians we act as if we cared not if others perish. Concerning the words "iniquity" and "righteousness" in the lesson paragraph we are considering, we must remember that "all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags" (Isa. lxiv, 0), and apart from the righteousness of God in Christ, which becomes ours when we receive Him, there is none that will stand (II Cor. v, 21; I Cor. 1, 30; Rom. x, 3, 4). From lesson verses 22, 23, we learn that we must be where God wants us in order to hear His voice. "Arise, go forth into the plain, and I will there talk with thee." "Arise and go down to the potter's house, and there I will cause thee to hear my words" (Jer. xviii, 2). Obedience is everything, whether the word is "Go forth" or "Go shut thyself within thine house" (verse 24), whether He says "Be dumb" or "Open thy mouth" (verses 26, 27).

Tampa is situated on Tampa Bay, which opens into the great Gulf of Mexico. It is a town of about 50,000 inhabitants of which the Afro-Americans constitute about 1-3 of the population. The soil is very sandy, and there is sand, sand everywhere and hardly a blade of grass. The Negro population consists of Negroes from all the West India and Bahama Isles. There are about as many foreign Negroes here as there are Americans viz. Cubans, Jamacians, Haytians and Nassaus. The commercial life of the Negroes of Tampa is very active and one can stop with his colored brother in almost every avenue of business. Grocery stores, meat markets, saloons, fruit stands and restaurants are quite numerous and are conducted successfully. Members of the race find employment as brick layers, carpenters, cigar makers, hack drivers, firemen, and for almost all manual labor. Several are working for the government as railway clerks, letter carriers, and internal revenue inspectors. There are three undertaking establishments, many livery stables, wood yards, all operated by Negroes. While a few are engaged in raising oranges and lemons. Nearly all the Lodges own their own buildings. The Odd Fellows have a three story brick building worth about $25,000 which is a credit to the entire state. Being a seaport town, and the population vastly cosmopolitan, there is apparently very little race friction. I hardly think that the race will lose its identity in this state for black predominates everywhere. While there are not as many young boys and girls who graduate each year as there should be, they have some inspiration to climb to loftier heights, for if he or she desires, they can readily find a place or make it. Our people as a rule patronize their own people here. Mrs. Williams is well known in the Twin Cities, prior to leaving was stenographer for the Cosmopolitan Insurance Company.

Mrs. Mrs. Edward B. McLean, who recently acquired the famous Hope diamond, is said to have a greater interest in gems and metals from a scientific viewpoint than from a woman's usual liking for adornment. She is said to have almost as keen an insight into mining as her father, Thomas F. Walsh, had. With him she often made journeys to the mines in Colorado and other places and often advised him. After he established a fund for the Colorado School of Mines she gave money to the school for the payment of the tuition of students without means. Mrs. McLean is interested greatly in philanthropic work. A. New Business For Women. "There are all kinds of ways of making a living," said a woman dweller in a New York apartment house to her neighbor across the hall. "For instance, yesterday morning my front door bell rang, and I opened it to find facing me a smartly groomed, pretty young woman, who immediately inquired whether I was Mrs. A. Having been satisfied as to the identity, she handed me a visiting card with this superscription: "She explained that the object of her visit was to see why I had discontinued being a charge customer of the firm she represented. It seems that the young woman's position is chiefly that of a commercial peacemaker. Patrons of big department stores, she told me, often take offense at some fancied or real wrong which they have received at the hands of one of the employees and in consequence stop buying goods at the shop. After a certain number of months have gone by without a charge customer having availed herself of her credit privilege a circular letter is sent to her asking why patronage has been withheld. "Should the firm receive no response to this inquiry it becomes the duty of the special representative to find out the reason why. So she appears at the house of the delinquent in the guise of a 'chaser' to smooth out the trouble if possible and blaze the trail, as it were, to renewed patronage. Later on the matter is placed in the hands of the complaint department, which in turn takes it up with the excustomer. "You have no idea how many cases of this kind we have, which could be reached in no other way," the peace envoy explained. After finding out that a prolonged absence from town was the only cause of my loss of trade the little lady, smiling, bowed herself away, leaving me ruminating upon the many tricks of the trade." Miss Annie S. Peck, the famous mountaineer, was talking at a garden party in Boston about her contemplated climb in the Andes. "To what," said a girlhood friend from Providence, "do you attribute Miss Peck, your success as a moun tainer?" "Simply to perseverance, to assi duity," the other answered. "That is the secret of all success. A great department store keeper put the idea, though, more neatly than I have done. At a birthday dinner he said: "I attribute my success to the fact that, if a customer doesn't see what she wants, I've always made her want what she sees." Thought It Was Cheese Thought It Was Cheese. The serious minded girl at the summer hotel had just got acquainted with the latest male arrival. Instead of talking about something interesting, she tried to draw him into a discussion on ethics. He listened gravely while she discussed Schopenhauer and Kant. Finally she asked, "Do you agree with Spinoza?" He brightened up at that. "It's a funny way to put it," he laughed. "I suppose you mean does Spinoza agree with me. No, I can't say it does. These imported cheeses make me slick, but I'm fond of York state. Do you like deviled crabs?"—Boston Traveler. THE AMERICAN RACE PROBLEM DR. DU BOIS GIVES THE FACTS Graphic Account of the Upward Struggle of Ten Million Colored Americans, What They Have Achieved and the Unfavorable Conditions Under Which They Labor Along All Lines. Two-thirds of Dr. W. E. B. Du Bofs speech before the universal races congress, recently held in London, was devoted to a comprehensive summary of the history of the Negro race in America. He outlined the conditions under which slavery existed, gave the statistics of population and discussed the figures for health and crime. He quoted the fact of the 2,500 lynchings in the last twenty-five years and showed that only one-quarter of these colored men were even accused of rape. He gave a brief outline of the reconstruction period and dwelt on the fact that the colored legislators, whatever their faults, gave the south beginning of a public school system admitted thousands of poor whites to the suffrage who had previously been debarred and abolished many barbarous forms of punishment. He analyzed the occupations of the Negroes of today thus—2,000,000 laborers, divided into 1,250,000 farm 'laborers, 500,000 day laborers and 250,000 washerwomen. These he called "the semisubmerged class, some held in debt peonage and paid small wages. There are 1,235,000 workingmen, divided into 125,000 skilled artisans, 575,000 semiskilled workers and 500,000 servants. "This is the emerging group. They are handicapped by poor training and race prejudice, but they are push- M. ing forward, saving something and educating their children as far as possible." There are 250,000 independents, divided into 200,000 farmers, 40,000 professional men and 10,000 merchants. "This," he said, "is the leading group of Negro Americans. The mass of them have common school training, and there are some 5,000 college trained men. They are accumulating property and educating their children. Their advance is opposed by a bitter and growing race prejudice." After giving the figures for the accumulation of property Dr. Du Bois took up the present situation, which he analyzed as follows: The American Negro problem is the question of the future status of the 10,000,000 Americans of Negro descent. It must be remembered that these persons are Americans by birth and descent. They are born in the land of slavery or American born generations, being in that respect one of the most original American groups in the land. Moreover, the Negroes are not barbarians. They are as a poor and ignorant, but they are growing rapidly in both wealth and intelligence, and are gaining the rights and privileges of American citizens as a matter of undoubted desert. Today these rights are largely denied. In order to realize the disabilities under which Negroes suffer regardless of education, wealth or degree of white blood we may divide the United States into three districts—the southern south, containing 75 per cent of the race; the border states, containing 15 per cent, and the mountain states, containing 25 per cent. They receive a distinct standard of justice in the courts and are especially liable to mob violence, are segregated so far as possible in every walk of life—in railway stations, railway trains, street cars, lifts, etc. and usually made to pay equal prices for inferior accommodations. They are often unable to protect their homes from invasion, their women from insult and their savings from exploitation; are taxed for public facilities, like parks and libraries, which are not educational facilities and sometimes none at all; are liable to personal insult unless they appear as servants or menials or show deference to white folks by yielding the roads, etc. To many of these disabilities there are personal and local exceptions. In cities, for instance, the chance to defend the home, get an education and somewhat education and somewhat less frequent. Then there are always some personal exceptions-cases of help and courtesy, of justice in the courts and of good schools. These are, however, exceptions and as a matter of course, no matter what their training, possessions or desert, are subjected to the above disabilities. Within the limits of these caste restrictions there are much good will and kindliness between the races and especially much personal charity and help. How the Race is Distributed. The 15 per cent of the Negro population living on the border states suffer a little less restriction. They have some right of voting, are better able to defend these homes and are less discriminated against in the expenditure of public funds. In the cities their schools are much better, and public insult is less noticeable. In the north the remaining 10 per cent of the Negro population is legally undiscriminated against and may attend schools and churches and vote without restriction. As a matter of fact, however, the made up majority of the Negroes are undesirable. They are either refused accommodation at hotels, restaurants and theaters or received reluctantly. Their treatment in churches and general cultural organizations is such that few join. Intermarriage with whites brings ostracism and public disfavor, and in courts Negroes often suffer undeservedly. Common labor and mental work is open to them, but avenues above them are limited. Laborers save as they serve their own race, are extremely difficult to enter, and there is much discrimination in wages. Mob violence has become not infrequent in later years. There are here also many exceptional cases, instances of preferment in the industrial and political world, and there is always some little social intercourse. The whole, however, the Negroes in the industrial world who finds it difficult to make a good living or spend his earnings with pleasure. Under these circumstances there has grown up a Negro world in America which has its own economic and social life, its churches, schools and newspapers; its literature, public opinion and ideals. This life is largely unnoticed and unknown even in America, and travelers miss it almost entirely. The average American in the past made at least a pretense of excusing the discrimination against Negroes on the ground of their ignorance and poverty and their tendencies to crime and disease. While the mass is still poor and unlettered it admitted by all today that the Negro is rapidly developing and larger and more intelligent property holding men of Negro descent. Notwithstanding this more and more race lines are being drawn, which involve the treatment of civilized men in an unvillified manner. This philosophy the thinking Negroes and a large number of white friends vigorously combat. They claim that the racial differences between white and black in the United States offer no essential barrier to the races living together on terms of mutual respect and helpfulness. They deny, on the one hand, that the large amalgamation of the races already accomplished has produced degrees in spite of the racial differences of these races. On the other hand, they deny any desire to lose the identity of either race through intermarriage. They claim that it should be possible for a civilized black man to be treated as an American citizen without harm to the republic and that the modern world must learn to treat colored races as equals if it expects to advance. They claim that the Negro race in America has more than vindicated its ability to assimilate modern culture. Negro blood has furnished thousands of died soldiers in the war in the United States has been engaged. They are a most important part of the economic strength of the nation, and they have furnished a number of men of ability in politics, literature and art. BUSINESS ESSENTIALS. BY N. BARNETT DODSON. With public and high schools, academies, colleges and universities, agricultural schools, farmers institutes and local business leagues in all sections of the country there is no reasonable excuse for any one remaining ignorant. Efficiency is the watchword of the times. Competition is close, and therefore business methods are more exacting than they were a decade ago. In every ambitious movement in business, society, church, state or nation there is a striving for the mastery, and the person that is not willing to make the sacrifice necessary to make his line of work compete with or excel his competitor will have to be satisfied with second, third or the last place in the line of commercial endeavor or what not. There should be no middle ground in business, no motionless period, for unrest is written on the doorpost of every reputable business establishment. While some of our strongest and longest established business concerns have either failed or ceased to exist for other reasons, the great bulk of Afro-American industry remains solid. Some have gone under because of lack of funds, others doubtless on account of being in the hands of inexperienced persons. In either case there is a lesson for the coming business man, who, if wise, will use these drawbacks as stepping stones upon which he will rise to success in the business world. Again, many persons fail in life because of a wrong choice. One should consider well the kind of business he wishes to enter, the character and possibilities for its development and his knowledge of and ability to conduct the business which he chooses. These are essentials of the first importance. Many persons go into business simply because they see others succeeding along certain lines without reference to any or either of the foregoing necessary qualifications. This is a mistake which is bound to result fatally, leaving discouragement if not disaster in its wake. Give Honor to Whem Honor is Due. Speaking of giving honor to whom it is due, we know of no more potent influence working for the good of the race in public affairs in New York than the Amsterdam News, of which the level headed James H. Anderson is the managing editor. For the appointment of J. S. Battle on the police force, for creating sentiment in favor of a colored regiment in the New York national guard, for a penny savings bank in Harlem and for breaking up dens of vice the glory belongs to the Amsterdam News more than to any other agency. Little to Show as Concrete Results of Special Session Reciprocity, Reapportionment, Statehood and Publicity Pass THE extra session of the Sixty-second congress attempted much, but owing to people over whom it had no control the results fell short of the effort. The laws it actually passed were Canadian reciprocity, publicity of campaign expenses both before and after election, reapportionment of the house of representatives and statehood with the stinger of recall of judges extracted. The things it tried to pass, but was prevented, were three tariff bills, covering several schedules and parts of other schedules, all of which were vetoed; direct election of senators, which was hung up in conference committee and goes over to the regular session, and the reciprocity treaties with France and England, which were reported out of the foreign relations committee of the senate with amendments, but were not acted on for lack of time. There were minor measures, but these were the most important. In addition there were a new investigation of the Lorimer case, a probe into the election of Senator Stephenson of Wisconsin, inquiries into the steel trust and sugar trust and examinations of the bureau of chemistry of the agricultural department in relation to the execution of the pure food laws, into Controller bay (Alaska) affair, into the expenditures of the state department and into the parcels post and postoffice department. The committees having these various inquiries in charge will presumably report to the regular session. At least none of them has reported yet. While the president called the session to meet solely for the purpose of passing the Canadian reciprocity bill, it was readily recognized at the outset that the legislation would not be confined to that one item. This assumption was confirmed on the opening day of the session, when Speaker Clark laid before the house in a speech the Democratic program. The progress of legislation through both houses of congress during the session plainly indicates that by far the greater portion of the delays has been the fault of the senate. The house acted with dispatch on its program and by sending much general legislation to the senate early in the session was able to take long recesses in May, June and July while the ways and means committee framed the tariff legislation. The table of legislation follows: Schedule of Legislation.

This resolution is still in conference. Publicity of Campaign Funds.—Introduced in the house April 10; reported to the house April 14; passed by the house April 14; received by the senate and referred to the committee on privileges and elections April 15; reported to the senate June 19; passed by the senate July 17; house conferences appointed Aug. 1; senate conferences appointed Aug. 2; conference report agreed to by the senate Aug. 16; by the house Aug. 17. Signed by the president Aug. 19. Of the important legislation or legislative action remaining the senate has not acted upon the arbitration treaties with Great Britain and France, which were reported to the senate on Aug. 12. The bone of contention in the bill for direct election of senators is the senate amendment placing senatorial elections under federal control. This is the same amendment which defeated it in the previous congress. The chief difficulty in the way of the arbitration treaties is the desire of the senate to retain its control over what shall be arbitrated and to exempt certain matters from arbitration, such as the Monroe doctrine and the admission of Asiatics into the United States. The reason for the first veto of the statehood bill, as already intimated, was the recall of judges feature in the Arizona constitution. This was eliminated in the second bill. Waiting For Tariff Board. The chief reasons assigned by President Taft for the veto of the tariff bills were that they were not scientifically and carefully drawn, that they were not in harmony with the protective principle and that the tariff board had not yet reported. He promised that before the next session the board would report as to the wool schedule and that he would then recommend revision in accordance with such report. Trust investigations were begun during the session, and they are still in progress. Constructive legislation to bear on federal regulation of corporations is regarded as certain to come as a result of the inquiries, and plans already have been instituted to revise the anti-trust laws. Special investigations into the United States Steel corporation and the American Sugar Refining company were undertaken to discover whether these industrial organizations operated in violation of the anti-trust and interstate commerce laws. The inquiries have been exhaustive and still are in progress, though the sugar committee, headed by Representative Hardwick of Georgia, practically has concluded its work and will meet in the fall to draft its report. The Steel corporation inquiry developed many interesting facts, but the predominant feature of the inquiry was the emphatic public declarations of great financiers that the Sherman anti-trust law is too archaic to deal with modern business methods. They insisted that there must be new legislation to regulate the corporations of the country. Chairman Stanley of Kentucky plans to resume taking testimony in the fall and hopes to have as witnesses Andrew Carnegie and J. Pierpont Morgan. Among the prominent men who testified at great length before the committee are former President Roosevelt, Judge E. H. Gary, chairman of the board of directors of the Steel corporation; John W. Gates, since deceased; Grant B. Schley, Charles M Schwab, George W. Perkins, Lewis Cass Ledyard, L. C. Hanna and Oak leigh Thorne. Colonel Roosevelt voluntarily appeared before the committee in New York to defend his course in approving the absorption of the Tennessee Coal and Iron company by the Steel corporation during the financial panic of 1907. During the inquiry Judge Gary made the startling proposal that the government be given control of great corporations, even to the extent of regulating prices. His assertion that the Sherman law was "archaeic" was reiterated by other witnesses. George W. Perkins said constructive legislation was absolutely essential to the needs of the great corporations of the country. Publicity of corporation affairs was advocated strongly by him as one means of eradicating existing trust evils and to retain the great benefits of trust operation. Friction in the department of agriculture over the enforcement of the pure food laws has been exposed by one of many investigations originating in the Democratic house, and a countrywide issue is raised over the question of whether the activities of Dr. Harvey W. Wiley, the government's pure food expert, have been made ineffective. Committees of the house on expenditures in the government departments were directed in special resolutions to inquire thoroughly into the affairs of the government. The Democrats announced that there would be a general housecleaning, that extravagance was rampant and that economies would be proposed. Predictions of many sensations were made. For many weeks the investigations progressed, and none of the committees has completed its task. Much other work started by committees must await the action of the next session. The question of coal lands in Alaska, the Controller bay controversy, in which President Taft's name figured, and all the kindred questions of government ownership and control allied therewith will be inherited by the session which begins next December. The Alaskan syndicate charges made by Delegate Wickersham of Alaska against Attorney General Wickersham came to naught in this session, but doubtless will come up in some form next session. Bills were introduced providing for a coal land leasing system. One of the investigations which attracted national attention because of its rather startling and sensational disclosures was the Day portrait voucher investigation by the house committee on expenditures in the state department. As a result of its findings the committee recommended the dismissal from the service of William H. Michael, former chief clerk of the state department, now American consul general at Calcutta, and of Thomas Morrison, disbursing clerk of the department, but finally the whole matter was referred to President Taft for such action as he thought proper. Bryan's Attack on Underwood. Proceedings in the house under caucus rule, led by Mr. Underwood, precipitated a sharp controversy between Mr. Underwood and William Jennings Bryan. Mr. Bryan was aroused because of the failure of the house caucus to include in its tariff program at first the revision of the iron and steel schedule. He attacked Mr. Underwood on this ground, but the latter received an overwhelming vote of confidence when the matter was made an issue in the house. During the controversy the ways and means committee was at work on an iron and steel revision plan, but it remained for the senate to act on this schedule. With the acquiescence of house leaders the senate attached an iron and steel schedule to the cotton bill. The house concurred in this amendment. When the special session convened on April 4 the house was organized by the Democratic ways and means committee, and this body made the committee assignments. The new system eliminated what was known for many years as the ccardom of the speaker. The committee also directed the deliberations of the Democratic caucus and framed the legislative program of the session. In the senate, with many of the old leaders missing, a remarkable alliance was formed between the Democrats and insurgent Republicans, led by La Follette, Cummins and Bristow. After the first few weeks of the session it worked harmoniously until the closing week, when occurred one of the most spectacular legislative upsets in many years. The severance of the coalition came on consideration of the cotton bill. When Senator Cummins withdrew an amendment to attach iron and steel revision to the cotton bill the Democrats seized on it as their own and were able to pass it when regular Republicans refrained from voting or absented themselves from the chamber. One of the gratifying features of the session is that partisanship has been little in evidence. On Canadian reciprocity the Democrats supported almost to a man, and on the tariff revision bills the progressive Republicans and Democrats worked together. While the list of laws passed was not long, the extra session laid the groundwork for important work in the regular session. Yet, while there was little partisan politics of the old variety in the session, there was presidential politics in almost every move made. Engaged in this game were three groups, the Democrats, the progressive Republicans and the administration. It is too early yet to foretell which one of these elements had the best of it. That will not be entirely clear until the regular session has completed its work. The one point made clear by the extra session is that party lines as they have existed in the past have been readjusted, or, rather, are still in process of readjustment. To students this is the most important feature of the session, and no review of its work would be complete without it. Of the bills actually passed Canadian reciprocity still remains to be ratified by Canada, the statehood bill will probably result in the admission of Arizona and New Mexico in time to take part in the election next year, the campaign publicity bill will inevitably result in less money being spent in congressional and senatorial elections, and the reapportionment bill will make of the house a body of 433 members, or 435 after the admission of the two new states. The size of the electoral college and of the representation to both national conventions will be correspondingly enlarged.

Evidently he is trying to "square it." The head waiter of the Rogers Hotel called his waiters and asked them their opinion of the write-up as it appeared in the Star. We came in for severe criticism. We published the article for those on the outside, and it stands without successful contradiction. We do not give those waiters credit to even feligning ignorance on subservience, but as a fair demonstration of that destructive element, better known as pure bone-heads. We have met the management and, although words as passed are too hot for print, we lived to tell the story. The Star editor is no hero worshipper and "Tootie" is but one of the hotel proprietors. There is no people in the world which more quickly recognizes and appreciates the qualities of frankness and sincerity, whether they are exhibited in a friend or in an opponent, in a white man or in a black man, than the white people of the South. I have found that there is a class that has gained a good deal of fleeting popularity for possessing what was supposed to be courage if cursing and abusing all classes of Southern white people on all possible occasions. But as I have watched the careers of this class of Negroes in practically every case their popularity and influence with the masses of colored people have not been lasting. Booker T. Washington in the World's Work. WHAT CONSTITUTES A SUB- SCRIBER? A court decision has lately been rendered in Massachusetts on what constitutes a subscriber. The judge firmly believed that a man who received the paper, although he never subscribed for it, is entitled to pay. James Thompson moved, and William Robinson took immediate possession, and received and accepted a weekly newspaper that was delivered to him through the mails every week. The goodnatured editor sent accounts frequently, but no attention was paid to them by Mr. Robinson. Finally there was a day of reckoning. Robinson had received the paper for some time, he informed the collector, but he said that he never subscribed and declined to pay for it. The judge personally questioned the defendant, who said that he read and made use of it and was receiving the accounts, which were frequently enclosed in the paper. Judgment was rendered in favor of the newspaper. The judge was severe in his criticism of people who are receiving papers and do not think it worth while to pay for what they receive and make use of it as an act of dishonesty, he said one should acquaint the publisher and pay for what numbers he receives.—X. HELLOI BIII ELKS SOCIAL SESSION.

Master of Social Sessions, Judge Johnson dispensed with a lavish hand choicest vlands and cigars. During the spread a loving cup, a souvenir of Boston, which was brought back from the convention by Bro. Morris was passed and every body drank.
