No attempt was made to gloss over the questions of lynching and kindred evils, Jim Crow cars, the traffic in girls and women, and the need of concerted action on the part of colored people to secure fairer treatment. Resolutions. The report of the committee on resolutions, read by Mrs. Warren Logan. Tuskegee, Alabama, protested against the Jim Crow cars with their uncomfortable and inferior accommodations as well as the friction which they create; declared against race segregation which compels good colored people to live in surroundings that are subject to the vile influences of commercialized vice to which they are in no way a party; urged the co-operation of white and colored people for the suppression of the social evil and the punishment of those engaged in the traffic of girls and women; indorsed the work of the National League on Urban Conditions Among Negroes, which alms to do constructive and preventive social work for improving the social and economic conditions among Negroes in urban centers; deployed lynching and called upon ministers and other public men to enlist against mob violence; declared in favor of full woman suffrage and advocated the formation of political study clubs to stir up men to greater interest in matters concerning their own welfare; recommended the introduction of agriculture in the public schools, school gardens, corn and canning clubs, social and literary clubs in rural communities; approved officially the chivalry shown by the men in the "Titanic" disaster. Mrs. Belle Jackson, of Lexington, Ky., who reported the loss of her orphan home and the death by fire of three children, will receive from the N. A. C. W. one hundred dollars for her work after the current bills have been paid. A convention offering was taken for the work of the Daytona Educational and Industrial School for Negro Girls, which is conducted by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune. Women's Work An interesting exhibit of women's work was arranged in the Domestic Science Building by Mrs. C. W. Posey, Homestead, Pa. In the absence of Dr. Hollis B. Frissell, principal of Hampton Institute, Major R. R. Moton, the school commandant, delivered a short address of welcome. T. B. Willfills spoke on behalf of the local clubs, and Mrs. Laura E. Titus, Norfolk, Va., spoke on behalf of the Virginia Federation. Negroes in the Cities. Dr. George Edmund Haynes, director of the National League on Urban Conditions among Negroes, and professor of social science in Fisk University, spoke on "City Problems Confronting Negroes." He considered the movement of Negroes to cities, the problem of segregation, and the treatment of Negroes in cities. He showed clearly that the segregation of Negro populations in cities has had the following results: Less effective police protection; poorly paved streets; uncollected garbage; poor street car service; the better elements of white and colored people have been removed from neighborhood contact; poor public schools; absence of fire protection; lack of library facilities; general presence of many evils. Since environment plays a very large part in the development of an individual, it is no wonder that Negroes in the cities have suffered. Addresses Miss Elizabeth C. Carter, in her biennial address, outlined the national character of the work of colored women in organizing women's clubs in the warfare against intemperance and immorality. Mrs. Warren Logan made an excellent plea for an enlarged intelligence on the subject of woman suffrage through systematic study of civic problems. A stirring address was made by Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune who told with rare eloquence the story of her struggle on the cotton and rice farm in South Carolina through Scotia Seminary and the Moody Bible Training School in Chicago to the founding of an industrial training school, at Daytona, Florida, for the training along practical lines of the Negro girls. The subject of juvenile courts was ably handled by Mrs. Johanna Enowden, Chicago, Illinois, Mrs. Sadie D. Hamilton, Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Mrs. J. T. S. Jackson, Philadelphia, and Miss Eartha White, Jacksonville, Fla. Plans were worked out for closer organization of this work with Miss Eartha White as secretary. Mrs. Maggie L. Walker, Richmond, Virginia, spoke on the subject of the "Twentieth Century Woman in Business." She gave some of the important facts concerning her own public life during the past fourteen years and showed what the St. Luke Penny Savings Bank and the St. Luke beneficial organization has been able to do for the colored people. Pennies, dines, and dollars have been put together by the colored people and have produced good results. The St. Luke's Bank, which began nine years ago with a capital stock of fifty thousand dollars, has already handled three million dollars. Mrs. Walker urged the colored women to start their own business enterprises and by putting their money, energy, and brain into active service they can secure excellent results. Mrs. Booker T. Washington was chosen delegate to represent the N. A. C. W. at the Emancipation Jubilee which will be held in Washington, September 26, 1912. The next biennial convention will be held at Wilberforce University, Wilberforce, Ohio. Ralph W. Tyler. There is not a more level headed man in this country than Auditor Ralph W. Tyler. He has done as much to elevate his people as any man in public life. He is a sincere Taft advocate and believer in the great principles of the Republican party WILL RATIFY THE NOMINATION On or About September 4—Taft and Sherman—Jacket Republics On or about September 4th, the District Republicans will hold a ratification meeting in this city probably at Convention Hall. This will be one of the largest meetings that has ever been held in this city. Every local organization will be invited to attend and take part in this demonstration. COL HENRY LINCOLN JOHNSON. His Timely Telegram to the Rejected Mississippi Bull Moose Negro Delegates. SOUTH'SGREATWORK THE CALL, FOR THE SKILLEUL Training the Post Graduate. Tuskegee Institute, Ala., Aug. 3. Just as one finishes at college and then pursues special studies in a university, so students after receiving a fair elementary training in both academic and manual work are turning their attention to special industrial, training at Tuskegee Institute. In no calling is this special training in higher demand than in Agriculture, and in no school, certainly no Negro school, are the facilities so ample to meet this demand as at Tuskegee. There is the laboratory with its appliances and apparatus suited to the experimental study of farming—to the study of seeds, seed germination, chemistry of soils and the composition and importance of various kinds of fertilizer. The best Negro teachers available teachers who understand colored students and who can also grow the product, conduct these classes and experiments. On the other hand there is the farm with 2400 acres of land, 1000 of which is under cultivation, to test and apply the theories developed in the laboratory. This combination of theory and practice exists not only on the general farm, but in the special branches of farming as well. Over all farming industries there is one man known as the Director of Agriculture. Under him there is a head for each division. Thus there is one men who instructs in and has charge of pig raising—and he actually raises pigs. There is another who has charge of buttermaking and the selling of milk, while actually making butter and supplying a market himself. There is a third who gives instructions in truck farming, while he himself is raising and handling produce for 2000 people about Tuskegee Institute. It thus happens that no student could take a course in agriculture and go away a mere theorist or a mere farm laborer. Rather he goes away with skill in all the various lines of his work. The story of this year's peach crop will illustrate in detail this system of agricultural training. In the orchard there are several students specializing in fruit growing. Of course they were taught in a practical way how to grow other fruit than peaches, but as peaches called for the biggest harvesting they will be taken. To begin with the school bought one thousand peach shrubs and set them out on land that was good for little else, but extrée—how deep to dig, when to dynamite a hole and why, what vegetables could be grown in the young orchard and why, when the growing of any other product in the orchard should cease and why. At the same time there was a vast orchard over there bringing forth peaches. What was to be done here and why. There was smudging to be done if the weather was cold, there was the making of solutions for spraining the tree. Moreover there was spraying for different purposes and at different times of the year, each requiring a different solution. There was one kind of spraying for San Jose Scale, another for insects and still another kind for worms. All the theories of spraying peaches were learned—and then applied right there on the trees. Then came the peach harvest. Given a large peach crop, how shall the student save it? The first problem was that of labor. Persons were hired to pick by the bushel, but it was found that they raked anything off the tree to fill up the measure. Thus they ruined the harvest. Then these same persons were hired by the day, but an average number of bushels was determined upon and required of each plucker. If a workman fell below the average for any length of time he was docked. It was found too that very small boys and girls can pick peaches, thus saving the heavy workmen for other tasks. Another problem they learned to handle was that of marketing. What will a man do when his products overrun the local markets? Break into other markets. How and at what gain? All this the young fruit grower learned this year by actually doing. for this was the situation that confronted the fruit growing division at Tuskegee Institute. Thus the student fruit-grower learned to plant, harvest, pack and ship his fruit, meeting in a practical way every problem he would meet in actual life. The incident in the fruit growing division is typical as showing the kind of training the Negro agriculturist receives. He meets this same happy combination of theory and practice in farming, truck farming, market gardening, care and management of horses and mules, dairy husbandry, dairying, swine raising, beef production and slaughtering, canning; and veterinary science. To meet the demand for the student trained in agriculture Tuskegee Institute offered several alluring advantages. It will be noticed that in all cases the agricultural student must work, must do actual and profitable labor. For this work the Institute gave him certain advantage. In the first place all other students pay $10 entrance fee; the post graduate agricultural student has this sum omitted. All other students pay $10 for board, part of which they may work out. The post graduate agricultural student receives $15 for his work. Thus after his board is taken out he has $5 per month. In this way he receives his training and earns a small wage besides. That good positions await him (indeed there is jealousy arising that the agricultural student is getting overpaid) is shown by the positions held during the last few years by Tuskegee graduates in agriculture. There are T. M. Campbell, Washington A. Tate, Crawford D. Menace and Harry Simons, farm demonstration agents for Uncle Sam; there are Walter S. Buchanan, Jesse E. Whitefield, Agustus Simons, Luther VanHose, Rollin W. James, Dennis A. Starks, Christopher T. Evans, Grover C. Buchanan, all principals of schools or heads of agricultural work because of their training in agriculture. Their salaries range from $50 to $100 per month the year round. HILL LODGED IN KENTUCKY JAIL. Chief Werner Receives Telegram Saying Negro Has Been Identified—Reward is Waiting—Authorities Think Absconding Cashier Will Reach Richmond Some Time To Morrow. Richmond, Va., Aug. 7. Practically all doubt as to the identity of the Negro captured yesterday morning near Memphis, "Tenn., thought to be Reuben T. Hill, the absconding cashier of the True Reformers' Bank, was dispelled last night when a telegram was received at police headquarters from H. H. Simmons saying that the prisoner had been positively identified, and that he was then in jail at Fulton, Ky. Chief of Police Werner replied, ordering that the man be brought at once to this city, and added that the reward of $2,000, offered by the True Reformers, would be paid immediately upon his identification. Floyd Ross, president of the United Order, True Reformers, after hearing the news last night, stated that the Order had in hand a certified check for the amount, which would be paid as soon as Hill was delivered to the local authorities. In addition, his captors will be paid the amount of their mileage. On Way Here. Early yesterday the police department received a telegram from Simmons, who is a private detective, telling them of the capture of Hill and making inquiries about the reward. He was told to deliver the man in this city and receive the reward. Meanwhile a telegram was sent to William J. Haynes, Chief of Police of Memphis, inquiring about the arrest. He replied that Hill was under arrest in Fulton, Ky. In accordance with the orders of Chief Werner, Hill was probably started on his homeward journey last night, and is expected to arrive here sometime to-morrow. The capture is the result of an untiring search of more than a year instituted by Captain of Detectives T. J. McMahon a short while after it was found that he had absconded. When the True Reformers' Bank failed and Hill was nowhere to be found every possible local clue was run down with not the slightest show of success. Detectives went over the city with the utmost care and covered the outlying country without getting a single trace of the much-wanted man. It was then that Captain McMahon made up a mailing list and covered almost the entire United States with circulars containing his description and picture. It was with the aid of one of these that the capture at Memphis was effected yesterday. Loss Will Be Small. Meanwhile other officers of the True Reformers have been before a jury of the Hustings Court and all the evidence showed that Hill was the principal mover in defrauding innocent members of the organization, who are scattered over all parts of the country. Members' of the order who heard of the capture last night, expressed themselves as being highly pleased, and said that in addition to paying the reward offered every effort would be used to punish Hill to the full extent of the law. The failure of the bank involved small depositors not only throughout this State, but in other parts of the country. For the most part they were people of small means who placed nearly all they possessed in the bank of which Hill was cashier. Since the collapse of the bank, which operated under the regime of Hill and others, there has been a reorganization and things have been placed again on a working basis. Though the depositors have not yet bee paid thir losses, but it is expected that in the long run the loss will be small. At all events the members are more than willing to pay the reward for the capture of Hill. A MANLY REQUEST. Recorder Henry Lincoln Johnson to His Repudiated Brethren in the South. Washington, D. C. Hon. J. E. Churchman, Perry W. Howard, and the Negro Delegates, The Coliseum, Chicago, Ill. As a soldier for his country and as a voter in civil life, the Negro has ever faced front. He has never been a deserter, never an anarchist, never a defaulter when entrusted with office. In the light of the cruel prescription against Negroes just solemnly voted at Chicago, adopting substantially the inhuman and unreasonable views of Senator Newlands and other unfriendly legislators of his type, you owe it to yourselves, your people, and to the heroes of the late war, living and dead, to come home. Yes, leave those who hate you on account of the accident of birth, and come home, our comrades, come home to the Grand Old Party, where, in Freedom's name, you have always found a welcome.

AUGUSTINE BIRRELL, CHIEF SECRETARY FOR IRELAND. WARREN S. STONE, HEAD OF THE LOCOMOTIVE ENGINEERS. WHEN it was recently rumored that British Ambassador James Bryce might retire, one of the men mentioned as a possible successor was Augustine Birrell, now chief secretary for Ireland, in which capacity it was his duty to meet Prime Minister Asquith in his recent visit to Dublin. The chief secretary also figured in the news of the suffragette riots in Dublin, during which were attempted several attacks on the premier. Birrell was formerly a member of the Liberal cabinet as president of the board of education. He was born near Liverpool in 1850, the younger son of a Nonconformist minister, was educated at Trinity college, Cambridge, of which he is now a fellow, was admitted to the bar and became a bencher of the inner temple, was for several years a professor of law at the University College of London and was a member of parliament, representing two constituencies and contesting for a third. WARREN SANFORD STONE is one of the most widely known labor leaders in the United States. As grand chief of the International Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers he commands a prominence that is equaled by few, if any, of the leaders of other branches of organized labor. Mr. Stone's name has been on thousands of tongues since his threat last spring to call a strike of the engineers on fifty-two railroads east of the Mississippi and north of Washington and the Ohio river if the demand of the men for more pay was not granted. That's question was ultimately submitted to a board of arbitration appointed by the supreme court, and Mr. Stone appeared in behalf of the engineers before that body. Born in Iowa in 1860, Mr. Stone was educated at Washington academy and Western college. His entire railroad service was spent with the Rock Island system.

VAN HISE, PRESIDENT OF UNIVERSITY OF WISCONSIN. EUGENE WILDER CHAFIN, the national Prohibition party's candidate for president of the United States, is best known as a temperance advocate, though he also is a lawyer and an author. Mr. Chafin was born in Wisconsin in 1852 and was educated in the public schools. In 1875 the University of Wisconsin gave him the degree of LL.B., and he was admitted to the bar in the same year. He practiced law in Waukesha, Wis., until 1900, when he became superintendent of the Washingtonian home, Chicago, which post he held four years. He has been nationally active as a speaker and organizer in temperance and prohibition movements. He was grand chief templar of the Wisconsin Good Templars from 1886 to 1890 and of the Illinois Good Templars in 1904 and 1905. He has been the Prohibition candidate for many offices. CHARLES RICHARD VAN HISE, president of the University of Wisconsin since 1893, is one of the most distinguished of American college presidents. In politics he is independent. He voted for Grover Cleveland and for Colonel Roosevelt and has at all times voted for Senator La Follette, being in full sympathy with the principles which the senator has so consistently advocated. Dr. Van Hise is fifty-five years old. He has held a number of important professorships in leading institutions of learning, is the author of a number of scientific works, holds membership in a score of scientific and educational societies and has been honored with degrees from nearly all of the big colleges and universities. He was lately appointed by the supreme court as member of the commission to arbitrate the differences between the railroads and the locomotive engineers. EDUCATIONAL ASSOCIATION HOLDS SUCCESSFUL MEETING. Chattanooga, Tenn., July 28, 1912. With a big Mass Meeting at the City Auditorium, where many of the leaders in Negro Education throughout the country delivered addresses, the National Educational Association brought its ninth annual session to close Sunday, July 28th. Delegates from twenty states, representing every phase of Negro Education, were present and lent much zest to the gatherings with the story of new and helpful methods tried in the various states and communities. One vital problem throughout the convention was that of bringing the school down to the life of the masses of the people. The superintendent of the city schools of Chattanooga pointed out that more than two-thirds of the pupils left school before they reached the eighth grade. They had no trade, no particular instruction as to economy, sanitation and the common every day problems of life. "The education of the Negro in the South," said Hardy L. Keith, supervisor of manual training for colored schools of Nashville, should be from the point of view of the taxpayer. Here in the South there should be a half-day of work and a half-day of study. It would be easy for this change to be made, considering the uselessness of a great part of the matter now taught in our public schools." Another very vital problem was that advanced by President Johnson of Petersburg, Va. It was difficult he said to expect a teacher on a small salary to go to summer school, to take vacation or improve himself. At the very time the teacher need money it is not coming in. This problem has been successfully handled by Chattanooga and a few other parties, which pay the teachers either part or whole salary during the month they they are away attending summer schools. President's Annual Address. One of the main features in the discussion of school problems was President W. T. B. Williams' annual address. The President's subject was, "What the Negro should do for his own Education." "Our first duty," said President Williams, and greatest opportunity lies in the field of public education. Our first fight must be effect for primary and grammar school within reach of every colored child in this country. "Virginia," he said, furnishes an example of constructive effort on the part of the colored people to improve the public elementary schools for their race. The following report covering the year 1911-1912 is given out by the Department of Educaton for the State; Jeanes supervisors were employed in 18 counties, there were 469 colored schools; 299 of these schools were visited by the Jeanes supervisors; 121 of the 299 schools visited lengthened their terms from 1 to 2 months; the average term was 6 months; 9 new schoolhouses were built, costing $5,200 not including labor given by the colored patrons; 12 buildings were enlarged; 69 buildings were whitewashed; 37 sanitary outhouses were built; 348 school leagues were operated; 102 schools adopted the use of individual drinking cups, and the colored people gave toward all these purposes, over and above their labor, $13,744.16. For the other 82 counties of the state we have no official record. But in most of these counties something of the same sort of work was done. And what is being done in counties in Virginia is similar to the work of colored people in behalf of public education in certain counties of practically every Southern State. In Barbour county, Alabama, for instance, the Jeanes supervisor, Miss Ada V. Cephas, led the Colored people to raise for school improvement this year, $1,000; in Bullock county of the same state, Mrs. Ella B. McNeal raised for similar purposes during the last three years $3,000; in Houston county, Georgia, Miss Ardennah L. Marcus, Jeanes, supervisor, reports $25.00 raised this year, and Henry B. Nicholson Jeanes, supervisor for Edgefield county, S. C., reports -1,800 raised this year for school improvement. These are but sample reports of which you will hear much more during this meeting. Speaking for self-help in the rural schools, Clinton J. Calloway, Director of Extension, Tuskegee Institute, gave an instructive talk on handling people in rural communities. Getting the interest of the County Superintendent, winning the confidence of the Ministers, planting school gardens and school farms were some of the schemes that alced Mr. Calloway in improving the rural schools of Macon County, Alabama, where Tuskegee Institute is located. Interesting pictures, showing the schools, homes and farms that improved under these method evoked many eager questions from persons in the audience. Probably the most commanding paper of all those in the daily discussions was that read by Miss E. A. Deace, of Birmingham, Ala. Miss Deace had for her subject, "School Hygiene or Sanitation in a free and disinterested manner." Miss Deace urged that, teachers and parents watch the defects of children and be frank and straight forward with the young in all those matters which pertain so vitally to human race. Many formal and able addresses were delivered at the evening sessions. Rev. T. O. Fuller, president of Howe Institute, delivered a scholarly address on the "Utility of Education," "Fredeick Douglas and the Spirit of Freedom," was the subject of an address by Prof. William Pickens, of Talladega College, "College Education and the Negro," was delivered by Rev. M. W. Gilbert, president of Selma University, Selma, Ala. Many Educational Trips. The hospitality of the Chattanoogans to the visiting teachers was unbounded. Receptions and various attentions were common. But the real feature of entertainment was the trips to the various historic spots about the city. There were trips to the famous Lookout Mountain. Missionary Ridge, Chickamauga Park, the National Cemetery and many other points of interest, that more than repaid any visit to the city of Civil War fame. The following named persons were elected as officers for the coming year: President, W. W. Dogan, Texas. Vice-president, N. B. Young, Florida. 2nd vice president, B. F. Bowles, Illinois. 3rd vice president, W. H. Singleton, Tenn. 4th vice president, Miss Ida C. Plummer, Washington, D. C. 5th vice president, O. L. Coleman, C La. 6th vice president, W. M.

Railroads Are Clamoring For New Cars. Urgent pleas have been received by steel car manufacturers in Pittsburgh, Pa., since the middle of the month that delivery of cars ordered during May and June be hastened. Shortage of labor has interfered with the puttting on of more capacity in the past fortnight notiwthstanding declarations of the railroads that delays in deliveries of cars ordered early in the summer will aggravate the most severe car famine in the history of the country during the coming fall. Unusual expedients are being resorted to by the railroads and car manufacturers. One southern railroad is financing a Roanoke, Va., bridge and structural company in the installation of car building machinery, because it is unable to get prompt deliveries of steel cars in the north. Millions are being expended in the Pittsburgh district for improvements and additions to steel plants, and it is expected that this year's record of money spent will exceed that of any other year in the district's history. The figure is close to $30,000,000. CLAUDE ALLEN TO DIE Hillsville Bandit Gulley of Murder In Court House. Claude Allen, one of the Hillsville outlaws, was convicted of murder in the first degree at Wytheville, Va., for the killing of Commonwealth Attorney William M. Foster. At a former trial Claude Allen was found guilty of murder in the second degree for the killing of Judge Thornton L. Massie. Claude Allen is the second one of the Allen clan to be convicted of first degree murder, his father, Floyd Allen, being the other. When he learned that he must pay the penalty for his crime in the electric chair the prisoner broke down and wept bitterly, as did also his flames, who was with him in the court room. It was the first time he had displayed the least sign of emotion since his trial began. AERONAUT FALLS 1000 FEET Body, Striking Head First, Buried In Earth Up to Knees.

GIRL'S SLAYER SUICIDE BY GAS Body of Nathan Swartz Found in New York. LEFT CONFESSION IN NOTES Murderer of Twelve-Year-Old Julia Connors Followed Father's Advice and Killed Himself. The body of Nathan Swartz, whose father informed the police that his son had confessed he was the slayer of twelve-year-old Julia Connors, was found on the fourth floor of a tenement house on Chrystle street, New York. Swartz had committed suicide by inhaling gas. The body was identified by Joseph Brennan, a detective; by Phillip Swartz, a brother, and by notes left by the man. Swartz had hired the room eight days ago under the name of Max Hirskowitz from Max Kaplan. Kaplan smelled gas. He found Swartz in bed, with the end of a gas tube that ran from the middle of the ceiling tied to his mouth. A hospital physician found the man was dead. Written in lead pencil on his collar were the words: "I am guilty and insane." There were several pieces of newspaper lying around, and on one of these was written the sentence: "I was sorry the minute after I did it. So don't cry for me." A letter written on both sides of a white envelope, which had been torn open, was found lying on the floor. This was in part as follows: "New York, July 17, 1912. "This is only to my dear mother, who I am always homesick for, and same to the rest and Pa, whose word I am taking by doing this, which I figure the easiest death in my own estimation. "I want to say that if I happen to be revived in order to be executed, why I'll take that medicine just the same. My last job was at Pocket book manufacturing company, at 74 Grand street. He owes me for two days work, please secure pay and give to mother, for she's very poor. "I'm sorry to cause the trouble to my neighbor, but all he'll have to do is call a cop. Tell mother again that I am really guilty, and she'll not cry her eyes and heart out. I know she thinks I'm innocent. I'm sorry I did it, but I got crazy as I often do and you can't blame me nor any one else." Swartz, his landlord said, would have been turned out of his room for failure to pay his rent, and the police think that, fearful of the ordeal of finding another place of shelter and subjecting himself to the gaze of strangers, he finally brought himself to entertain the idea of suicide suggested to him by his father. Only a few days ago Swartz's father informed the police that his son had told him that he had killed the girl, and that he had responded that there was nothing left but for the son to commit suicide. It was thought for a time that the body of Swartz had been recovered from the Hudson river. A body in the Hoboken morgue was identified at first as that of Swartz by his brother-in-law, Henry Alexander, but Alexander later declared that he had been mistaken and the search for Swrtz was continued until the discovery of his body. Dugont Road Bill Valid. The Delaware supreme court gave its decision in the action brought to test the legality of the boulevard act, under which T. Coleman Dupont began the construction of a highway to extend the length of the state. The court upholds the legality of the act, deciding that it was passed properly by the legislature and that condemnation proceedings can be followed under it. Relative to the occupancy of the highway by a trolley line or other public utility, the opinion holds that this is legal, provided the public utility is constructed within a reasonable time, the court to decide later, if called upon to do so, what constitutes a reasonable time in each particular stance in which the point may be raised. The act has been attacked on various grounds, one being the contention that the act was in conflict with the constitution, in that the constitution prohibits specific road legislation, for particular roads. It was also contended that the act did not legally pass the legislature, in view of the fact that the senate and house journals did not show that a bill of the same title passed both houses, and that the land sought was not for a public purpose as supposed. Again Catch Murderer. Sheriff Beel, of Mauch Chunk, Pa., received a message from Luke Noonan, sheriff of Butte, Montana, asking if he was still looking for Martin Leskowski, the jail breaker and convicted murderer. Begel promptly wired back to hold Leskowski.

In order to satisfy his consuming ambition for power; to again be the President of these United States, and in order to further, as he thinks, that ambition Colonel Roosevelt is willing to deal the Negro a stunning blow—is willing to pronounce against his enjoying the rights and privileges of an American citizen. Colonel Roosevelt has gone farther than anyone else in the propagating of an anti-Negro sentiment in this country. His letter given out last week, in which he urged a Lily White party in the South; in which he urged, practically, the disfranchisement of the Negro in the South, will do the race more harm than he can ever repair. If the Negro delegate from the South was good enough for the with Anglo-Saxon blood. When members of his race were being shot and cut to pieces in the streets of Atlanta within sight and sound of him, where was he? Surrounded by his books and preparing to hurl "The Litany of Atlanta" at a mob, preparing vocal bullets in his arsenal of timidity and cynicism—rhapsodizing on the fatal September 22nd, far from the firing line. In the last issue of the "Crisis," the Assistant Attorney General of the United States, the Register of the Treasury and the Recorder of Deeds are mentioned as "wooden men" who dare say nothing which white men dislike to hear. His measurement of manhood is the ability to employ vocal weapons, as if such missiles have not been wasted for forty years by fools in the futile attempt to shake down the walls of hate and persecution by which we are encompassed about. "Wooden men" while he alone is the man of "Blood and Iron!" Aloof from the multitudes of his people whom he subconsciously despises but consciously defends for a retainer; cold, cynical, unpopular and impractical, he writes in the same issue of the "Crisis" that 500,000 Negro voters should be organized, and great things would follow. As usual he offers no practical plan of organization of this great host, but falls back upon the impractical statement of what he thinks ought to be done and the flippant reference to others as "wooden men." There is no wonder that he lacks a plan of organization for 500,000. We recall his attempt to organize an army of fifty or thereabouts; but his army vanished after a few short seasons as the mists of Niagara—from which its name was derived—vanishes in the clouds above, without having settled one single problem confronting the race. If he is a hero, why does he not perform the part of one? Evaristo Estenoz took to the field as a protest against the Morua law in Cuba, and died upon the battle field. Here was a hero whose name will rank with L'Ouverture and Maceo. Does his example fail to inspire Du Bois the intrepid one? Or does it merely excite him to call others "wooden men," while he battles away in the safety and seclusion of his closet, hurling his little spit balls. If our meager knowledge of French is not at fault it strikes as that the words "Du Bois," mean "from wood" or something made of wood—hence, the real wooden man. A LONG DISTANCE FIGHTER. Comfortably ensconced in quarters overlooking throngs of busy men and women—quarters provided and paid for by white men, sits and dreams the Prince of Dreamers. He is a brown man, trained in the learning of the schools; part poet, part rhapsodist, part cynic and part pharasite. He devotes a large part of his time to literature and to the manufacture of literary venom, which exudes from the point of his pen, as venom follows the tooth of the Fer de Lance or the Rattle Snake. His poisonous excretions are excited to activity by black men who have attained high distinction in politics and practical activities, and who pay no need to his assumptions of leadership. Employed at Wilberforce and Atlanta University, when bread and shelter were needed, his reptilian activity does not stop at striking others engaged in similar work, which he is now pleased to characterize as "Jim Crow." The victim of autohypnosis he sees the heroic outlines of his own splendid figure thrown athwart eighty million affrighted white people who tremble at his very name, while his inverted gaze blinds him to the good in others. Race leaders are criticised by him for their failure to lead an assault on the strongholds of Anglo-Saxon power and preparedness, and yet after forty years of life, he has not thus far one battlefield to his credit—not one single Anglo-Saxon scalp dangles at his belt; nor are his carefully manicured finger nails tainted in the electoral college reduced. Today Mr. Wilson will have one hundred and twenty-six electoral votes "sewed up" at the start, and only needs to fight for one hundred and forty north of the Mason and Dixon's line. votes to insure his re-election in the same territory, with. Mr. Roosevelt running against him. Thus the Democratic party having disfranchised two million Republican votes at the South destroyed the Republican party in that section without having had its representation reduced in the electoral college, enjoys an advantage in the present contest to which it is not constitutionally entitled. If the Republican party had invoked the "Sleeping Lion" as the Second Section of the Fourteenth Amendment has very appropriately been termed as it was bound to do in order of live up to the law, the South would have been compelled either to have accepted a reduction of its strength in the electoral college, or to have divided it between the Democratic and Republican parties. When we consider the immense interests involved in his re-election—wealth which cannot be calculated in figures, as well as the stability of the nation itself, in its program of well ordered progress under Republican rule, it occurs to us, that the failure of the Republican party, to enforce Constitutional measures for its own protection was hardly worth the price — concession to Southern race hatred, mob rule, bloody riots and brazen defiance of the law, which cost the North a million men and three billions in money. If the party should be defeated in November, it may profit by experience, at least we hope so. A REPUBLICAN BLUNDER. We have loyally supported Mr. Taft and the regular Republican organization. We intend to continue our efforts to do everything possible within our power to elect Mr. Taft, and to elect a Republican Congress. Therefore, we can speak plainly about a very important matter in which the party is deeply concerned. The Republican party at this time is confronted by two political organizations with which it is waging battle—the Democratic ofikes this," party and the party of the Bull Moose. And the situation is bringing into play the best thought and energy of the Republicans to extricate themselves from the tangle in many States resulting from the recent primaries, and which will profoundly affect the November elections. It is a fact which can not be disputed that the Republican party at this time is confronted by difficulties, which would be easy of solution if the South had been penalized years ago, as provided by the Federal Constitution in the Second Section of the Fourteenth Amendment, and its representation in Congress and nation at Chicago the week of June 18th, why is he undesirable Colonel when he sought the nomi now? If his managers could set up 162 contests in the South, none of which had, according to their own admission, a shadow of regularity or legality, why are some of the very men whom they strove to have seated at that time undesirable now? Is it because his managers were unable to corrupt those Negro delegates from the South? Is it because the slush fund which Ormsby McHarg is alleged to have taken with him into the Southern states could not induce more than four of the Negro delegates to disrea single electoral vote in any of gard, for cash, their instructions? Colonel Roosevelt will never get the Southern states. And he ought not get a single colored vote in any of the Northern States. If the Negro, after that race-prejudice inciting letter of Col. Roosevelt, votes for him, as a race, then the race is deserving of the very disfranchisement Southern Democrats advocate and which Colonel Roosevelt invites for them. And any Negro voter in the North who casts a ballot for the inconsistent warrior of Oyster Bay then that Negro should be disfranchised, and more, he should be ostracised by his own people. ROOSEVELT VS. THE NEGRO. Ex-President Tneodore Roosevelt stands before the bar of the American people the greatest political demagogue that ever breathed the breath of life. During the unexpired term of his first administration he declared that the door of "hope" would be opened to the American Negro. Prior to that time and during his first administration almost every American Negro declared him to be the second coming of Jesus Christ, but The Bee took exception and declared him to be the coming of the devil. The entire Negro press, Negro orators, Negro organizations. Negro churches with their ministers denounced The Bee and its editor and said they were enemies to the race. At a public meeting held at the Metropolitan Church, on which occasion over 2500 people were present, no one could be found to denounce the Roosevelt order of dismissal of the Negro troops. Gen. Burk was booked as the star speaker. Mrs. Terrell on this occasion informed the vast audience that she had the Secretary of War, then Mr. Taft, to hold up the order. This was true, but the editor of The Bee followed Mrs. Terrell on that memorable evening and contradicted Mrs. Terrell and established the fact that Mr. Roosevelt had refused to allow Mr. Taft to withhold the order of dismissal. It was on this occasion that the editor of The Bee read the certificate of the sale of "Black Bess" and denounced Roosevelt as an enemy of the Negro. Because the Southern Negroes could not be purchased at Chicago; could not be debauched into voting for a "bull moose" candidate for the Presidency, he refuses to allow those same Negroes, who voted for him in 1900, to come as delegates. The Southern black man has rights which should be protected, and if he has been denied the elective franchise Theodore Roosevelt had every opportunity while President of the United States to enforce the amendments to the constitution which guarantee to every Negro his civil and political rights. If the Northern colored voters have any respect for themselves and love for their bleeding, oppressed and struggling brethren of the MAJOR BROOKS. Some few men in this world have the happy faculty of making and holding friends by persuing the course of least resistance. Some have the faculty of making and holding friends by minding their own business. Major Arthur Brooks, to some extent, is a replica of both these two classes of men enumerated above. That he minds his own business every,man in Washington who knows anything knows this. He has never been a meddler. He recognizes limitation. Unlike some men, just because he is constantly with the President, he does not offensively assume an air of statesman size, nor does he volunteer information. Like a true military officer he accepts orders and obeys them. There are few men more, or as lovable as Major Brooks. Always a gentleman, quiet and unostentatious, he counts no man his enemy, but on the contrary counts all men his friends. And when Tae Bee says "all men" it has reference to such as have the prime requisites of manhood—honor and honesty. The work of Major Brooks with the cadets in the M Street and Armstrong High School is, beyond the peradventure of a doubt, truly excellent. His splendid military preparation, standing and efficiency fully and completely equips him for the work. And all the cadets like him—they adore him. And who ever heard of Major Brooks soliciting a word of praise? Who ever heard of him indulging in knocks? He simply does his duty, pursues the even tenor of his way, and trusts to fairness for the rest. There may be some one in this national capital that harbors unkindly feeling for him, but if such there be he has not the courage to come out in the open. The Major has too many loyal friends, friends that have been justified by his quiet, simple, efficient life; to permit an enemy to get a hearing. And every cadet in the high schools will substantiate what we have said. And every parent too JUSTICE FOR MINGO SAUNDERS. The act of President Taft, in appointing, on executive order, Mingo Saunders, late sergeant in the Twenty-fifth infantry, discharged, without honor by Roosevelt, was an act of justice to an innocent and deserving bearer of arms in his country's defense. Here was a soldier, who in all his twenty-seven years of service to his country, had never received a mark against him. And with that splendid record, which in itself ought to have been a defense for him, he was summarily dismissed without honor just as he was within hailing distance of retirement with honors and upon pension." A man who gives thirty years of the best part of his life as a soldier is really incapacitated to begin life anew in competition with his vigorous junior competitors. Mingo Saunders was done as great an injustice as one could imagine. His innocent comrades were done the same injustice, but in Saunders' case it seemed the more rank because he was near the time when he could be retired, and because in all the years he served in the ranks, not one mark of discredit was recorded against him. President Taft did right when he appointed Mingo Saunders to a place in the government service, and Negroes everywhere will applaud the act. We note that Colonel Roosevelt strives to place all the blame upon Mr. Taft for the discharge of the colored troops who were stationed at Brownsville, but he purposely forgets that Mr. Taft was out of the country, and out of touch with that affair at the time Mr. Roosevelt framed up, and made ready the order for the dismissa of the Twenty-fifth Infantry boys. The colored voters know upon --- whom to place the blame for their dismissal, and they know to whom to give praise for the appointment of Mingo Saunders. The blame is all heodore Roosevelt's. he praise is all William Howard Taft's. THE "DOOR OF HOPE." The Southern Negro is disfranchised. The Democratic party did it. Theodore Roosevelt, graduate from the Republican party and "progressing" toward bourbonism, says: "The Negro at the South" is not wanted in the Bull Moose movement. What he wants at the South are ex-Confederates, they are of the proper stuff for real progressivism, so he says, and as ex-Confederates will not affiliate politically with their black neighbors, the blacks must keep "hands off." Does anybody recall the expression, "I cannot consent that the Door of Hope shall be closed against a man on account of his color?" Of course, everybody recalls it. This was the utterance of Candidate Roosevelt before his nomination at the Chicago convention in 1904. Few men can carry water on both shoulders, and we doubt if Theodore Roosevelt will be able to fool the colored voters of the North into the belief that he is anything but an insincere hypocrite and demagogue, dangerous to the peace of the Republic and to Constitutional government. The Third Term movement itself is an unholy thing, and that it should result in endorsing the Democratic program at the South in its quest for Democratic support is not surprising. The only surprising thing is that the violent murder of 40,000 black people at the South since 1868 has not received the cordial approval of the man who lynched 167 Colored soldiers, without trial by Judge or jury; but we do not wish to be too hasty, he will probably come to this in his Southern campaign before November 7th. NEGROES NOT WANTED. The Negro admirers of Roosevelt, and especially those who have strained their lungs, are satisfied that the Editor of The Bee predicted the truth when he said that Roosevelt was no friend of the Negro. The colored Republicans in the South, for whom he declared several years ago an open door of hope policy which he had no idea of carrying out. Will the Negroes in the North prove traitors and renegades to their brethren in the South? The disfranchisement of the Southern Negro is no fault of theirs, but is due to the Democratic party, acquised in by the Republicans. Roosevelt indorses the Lily White party in the South. The Bee several years ago charged Senator J. C. Pritchard as being behind the movement in North Carolina. This is the time and hour for the American Negro to show that he has manhood and independence. There is no hope for the Negro in the Democratic party. This party holds out no inducements whatsoever to the Negro. Roosevelt is as much of an enemy to the Negro as the Democratic party. President Taft is the only man who throws around the Negro his protecting arms. While the Negro has been used by all political parties, the only protection that he has received is in the Republican party. Elsewhere in this issue will be seen two editorials, one from the Evening Star in this city and one from the New York Evening Post. These two editorials are from two of the leading journals in the United States. They are a defense of the disfranchised Negroes and condemnation of the treachery and political chicanery of political demagogues. NEWLAND'S ATTACK. Senator Newland, a representative of the Democratic party, who is a failure as a Senator from his State and who hasn't the ability to make a brilliant record by introducing great measures, can only come in the lime light by attacking an oppressed race and advocating its disfranchisement. The Negro must belong to a great race, because he is the eye sore of statesmen and politicians, he is the eye sore of this so-called Anglo-Saxon race. The Negro is a great being, hence the jealousies and prejudices are against him. Senator Newland is the Negroes' inferior. There are thousands of Negroes in the United States who stand above Senator Newland in ability and intellect. Will he compare with DuSbois, Dr. Washington, Dr. Shepard, Auditor Tyler, J. C. Napier, Recorder Johnson, Kelly Miller and thousands of other well known to The Bee? The time is fast approaching when the black race will rule the destinies of this republic. The time will come when this common white race that is so inimical to the Negro will see its folly. All the white people are not alike. The white man or woman who has no prejudice against the Negro has been reared within a civilization that recognizes equality of citizenship. Theodore Roosevelt, whose demagogical sophistry has not deceived The Bee, but thousands of others can be justly classed with Newland. God rules and the Negro will eventually triumph. WHERE IS BANKS? Charles Banks, delegate to the Republican National Convention instructed for Taft, opfiped to Roosevelt, and gave as his reason, he did not approve of President Taft's alleged Southern policy. Mr. Banks did not arrive at this conclusion until he reached Chicago. If not an impertinent question, we would like to ask Mr. Banks what he thinks of Colonel Roosevelt's Southern policy. And we would like to ask what he thinks of the Colonel for throwing out of the Bull Moose convention Delegate Perry Howard, from Mississippi, who joined with Mr. Banks in a questionable disregard of instructions for Taft. Where does Banks now stand? Colonel Roosevelt has marooned him and his people South on the island of Race Prejudice. PRESIDENT TAFT NOTIFIED. The formal notification at the White House last week, to President Taft, by the Republican notification committee, of his nomination was in every way a notable occasion. President Taft's speech was a clear cut, unequivocal presentation of the issues of the campaign. It was strong — the strongest presentation yet made, and will go down in history as a great State paper by a great President. And the fact that colored men were invited to the reception and luncheon without reference to color, and that they attended, were received and entertained by President and Mrs. Taft merely as representative men, and strong, uncompromising Republicans made it all the more a notable affair. TUSKEGEE. "I regard the Tuskegee Institute as the most considerable educational invention of modern times," writes Professor W. I. Thomas, Professor of Sociology in the University of Chicago. TUSKEGEE'S INDUSTRY Industry is the spirit of Tuskegee—industry and discipline are made a habit. The choice of some 40 trades is offered young men and young women. Tuskegee graduates are earning from $50.00 to $80.00 and $100.00 per month as Academic Teachers, Farm Managers, Steam and Electrical Engineers, Tailors, Teachers of Domestic Science, Nurses—in fact the demand for men and women trained in all the trades at Tuskegee is far beyond the supply. BULL MOOSE DELEGATES. the District of Columbia went all the way to Chicago without a vote. They were crazy to be delegates and now they threaten suffrage in the District of Columbia. What a calamity and what a destruction it will be to the people if the "Bull Moose" district delegates should thrust upon the people of the holy city the elective franchise.

SUBJECT: "WHERE ARE THE DEAD, OUR FRIENDS, OUR NEIGHBORS, OUR RELATIVES?" Dr. Norman said in part: "I knew a man in Christ—above fourteen years ago (whether in the body, I can not tell; or whether out of the body I can not tell: God knoweth;) such a one caught up to the third heaven— And I knew such a man (whether in the body, or out of the body, I can not tell; God knoweth—) How that he was caught up into paradise, and heard unspeakable words, which it is not lawful for a man to utter." II Cor. 12: 2, 3. We are certainly interested in those of our relatives and neighbors who have preceded us to the spirit world. We often wonder what are they doing there now, and perhaps no sane man is entirely indifferent as to the state and condition of the dead especially those to whom we bear kinship. After all death is a serious matter, everything that has breath seems to dread death and men and women are no exception to the prevailing rule—this dread seems to come from the idea in man of what may perchance follow death. Men and women generally believe that death does not end all. They believe in the reality of heaven and the reality of hell. The immortality of the soul has engaged the attention of men during the ages—the philosophers of the past have studied it and Jesus plainly sets it forth in conversation with Mary and Martha: "I am the resurrection, and the life; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live; and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." 1. Let us notice in the first place death—in the midst of life we are in death—and we might well consider the end—none are exempted from natural death—Saints of all generations have passed through the gate of death into the eternal world. Christians still die, and the stroke of mortality will, doubtless, fall on believers as well as on unbelievers till Christ comes "the second time." Our duty, then, is to glorify God in death. (a) This can be done by preparation for the dying hour. None prepared to die by nature. Neither can reason and philosophy. They cover a wide field; but do not contain the science of redemption. (b) The gospel sets, forth the facts relative to sinner's justification, sanctification, preparation for death and fitness for the eternal city of rest. "Sin gives death its sting and sin is a transgression of the law"—Jesus honored the law. So that sin can be pardoned consistently with law — God gives us the victory through Christ thus the dying saint glorifies God in his death. Paul says: "The sting of death is sin; and the strength of sin is the law; but thanks be to God, which giveth us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ." I Cor. 15:56. 57. (c) Christians glorify God in their death by bearing testimony to His sustaining power in the very hour of death. Many saints die happy. God gives them dying grace. "As to the physical act of dying, there is in it nothing desirable. Nature recolls from the dissolution of soul and body. Even the grace of God does not make death welcome for its own sake, but for the sake of the blessed results that follow it. To die is gain. Something is gained when the expiring struggle is over, and the struggle is willingly encountered because of the advantages that succeed it." So then, death is the common lot of man. It is the separation of the soul from the body. With the Christian it is absence from the body and present with the Lord. With the sinner it is absence from both body and the Lord—a miserable state. 2. Notice, then, the intermediate state. There is no question as to the body. We all know what becomes of it—buried in the grave there to await the resurrection of the dead. Job says: "For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth: And though after my skin worms destroy this body, yet in my flesh shall I see God." Job 19:25, 26. But what becomes of the soul between the death of the body and the future judgment, or in other words, where are our souls? There are several views held in answer to this question. As to the agnostics, I do not consider that they have any view at all. They simply assert that they do not know. They claim that there is no proof of it in the Bible—that is, of life after death. So, then, the first real view— (a) The unconsciousness of the soul from death to the Resurrection of the body—this opinion rests upon the presumption that the action of the soul depends upon the body— (1) It may or may not act in the same way still it never loses its consciousness and activity. The angles are active and move with great rapidity. One class of spirits moving and acting is some proof of other spirits having activity. The souls of the rich man and Lazarus were certainly conscious if we believe the account given in the Bible concerning them. The one enjoyed the happiness of paradise: the other, the torment of hell. Memory was active: "Son, remember that thou in thy lifetime receivedst thy good things, and likewise Lazarus evil things; but now he is comforted, and thou art tormented—souls under the altar not unconscious." John tells us: "I saw under the altar the souls of them that were slain for the word of God, and for the testimony which they held and they cried with a loud voice." Rev. 6:9, 10.—Loud Voice— (2) Death is often designated as a sleeping or a falling asleep. Our friend Lazarus is falling asleep; but I go, that I may awake him out of sleep, then Jesus therefore sald unto them plainly, "Lazarus is dead." Here the language of appearance is used; yet this language could not have been used, if the soul had not been conceded of as alive, though sundered from the body. Sleep really applies to the body and not the soul. The body must remain unconscious and the soul conscious during the intermediate state— (b) The idea of purgatory as entertained by the Roman Catholic Church has, in my opinion, no warrant in the Bible. They claim that the dead pass immediately to a place of purgation. They are purged and finally released. Prayers of the church will shorten their time hence they pray for the dead. Better use that time in praying for themselves. Do not you think? , Christians do not suffer after death—sinners are not made perfect by suffering — Christ's sacrifice is sufficient. He must be accepted in this life. Solomon says: "And if the three fall toward the south, or toward the north in the place where the tree falleth, there it shall be" — Ecc. 11:3. "And while they went to buy, the bridegroom came; and they that were ready went in with him to the marriage, and the door was shut"—Rev. 22:11. "He that is unjust, let him be unjust still, and he which is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him be righteous still; and he that is holy, let him be holy still"—conditions after death are determined in this life. Be sure to make your peace with God here— (c) The theory of the annihilation of the wicked makes too much of the mercy of God and too little of his justice. God is not too merciful to be just. The wicked are mortal, too, and must therefore live eternally— (d) The belief of the Jews in a conscious existence after death is proof that this theory rests upon a misinterpretation of the Scriptures which teach the Jews' belief. This is evident from the knowledge of the Egyptians. They embalmed the body in order to preserve it for the soul— (2) From the accounts of the translation of Enoch and of Elijah—various references to the Resurrection, etc. Isiah 26:19. "Thy dead men shall live, together with my dead body shall they arise"— (e) Again: The soul does not go to heaven, but paradise, to await the Resurrection of the body. This view concedes the activity and happiness of the soul, but confines its abode to a state located somewhere, not heaven where Christ is. We grant that the souls of the plus dead go to Paradise; but believe that Paradise and heaven are identical. Which fact is the plain teaching of our text. Here Paul makes "third heaven" and "paradise" the same. The word paradise is used but three times in the new Testament and has. I take it, the same meaning—Luke 23.43. Jesus sald to the thief, on the cross: "Today shalt thou be with me in paradise." Rev. 2:7—"To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the tree of life, which is in the paradise of God." Paul was caught up into the third heaven even paradise—(f) Our view, which is the view taught in the Bible, is that the Soul is taken immediately into the presence of Christ. Who is in heaven. Jesus is certainly in heaven. Stephen saw him—Luke says: "And it came to pass, while he blessed them, he was parted from them and carried up into heaven"—Luke 24:57. "Whom the heaven must receive until, the times of restitution of all thinurs," says Peter—Acts 3:21. Paul says: "For Christ is not entered into the holy places made with hands are the figures of the tree; but into heaven itself, not to appear in the presence of God for us"—Heb. 9:24. The plus die, their souls go into his presence—"Absent from the body and present with the Lord."

C., July 25.—Bull Moose of the State met here today and will select a delegation to Chicago composed entirely of whites. "Negroes are not wanted" is the word that has gone out. L. W. C. Blalock, of Goldville, is the accepted leader of the Roosevelt movement in the State. He is here today selecting delegates. He will name twenty white men if he can get that many to serve. Many earnest Roosevelt Negroes are disappointed because of the turn affairs have taken. They do not understand why they are ignored. "The Bull Moose party is to be lily white in South Carolina," one of the Roosevelt leaders said tonight. Negro Moose met yesterday, but decided on no definite action. UP FROM SLAVERY. Mr. Booker T.

At the present session of the Cuban Congress a bill has been introduced by Senator Gonsalez Perez, which proposes to prohibit the immigration of all black and yellow races. This action is taken in order to promote and encourage white immigration to Cuba. Cuba could not have thrown off the Spanish' yoke of oppression without the assistance of the American black soldiers, consisting of four black regiments, who immortalized themselves at the bloody ford and unfilinchingly charged.San_Juan Hill and held the works until the 25,000 Spaniards surrendered. Why, then, have not the American blacks a right to enter a country which they assisted to purchase by their blood and their swords. It is a known fact when the fires of liberty under the Spanish tyranny had been well nigh extinguished, these same blacks, who are now being discriminated against, were inery revived the torch of liberty on the eastern end of that same island. Have the white people of Cuba forgotten the martyrs of the recent revolution, in the person of Maceo, Bandaras, and a host of others who give the last drops of blood for the liberty the white Cubans are now enjoying? It seems indeed Cuba has the white fever, which is contagious, the breezes of which must have emanated from the Southern States. JAMES CONWAY JACKSON LET THEM REFLECT. There's a law of retribution, and the nations should take heed, I'll repay them saith Jehovah, I, the weak ones' cause will plead; You may deal with them unjustly, you may take their rights away, You may scorn them and oppress them, but some day you shall repay; Yea! repay in double measure, for the murders and blood shed That you've done unto your brethren shall be hdaped upon your head. When the Spanish yoke oppressed them, white and black together fought. When they needed good strong soldiers every black man's aid was sought: Yes, the black man is always needed when there's foes to fight and kill; When the din of war is over and the cannons cease to roar, . "To your places now you niggers! you're not needed any more." Their unreasoning Negro hatred others quickly imitate; They have spread it through the North land, and throughout the Western states. It flares up on all occasions, disparages, violates; Oh, you Negro hating crackers, who pollate the sunny South, Cease reviling, stop, consider, put your hand upon your mouth. There's a law of retribution, and the South will get its fill. If there is a God of Justice, 'twill be a most bitter pii; You may treat the blacks unjustly, you may take their rights away.

FORMAL CALL ISSUED FOR CONVENTION AUGUST 1ST. Movement is Led by B. F.-Fridge, of Ellisville, a Life-Long Democrat. Wants Only, White Men to Attend Gathering—The Inspiration of the Maneuver Comes From Hon. John M. Parker, of New Orleans. (From Jackson, Miss., Daily News, July 23, 1912.) Col. Roosevelt's Progressive party will be launched in Mississippi strictly as a white man's organization. This announcement closely follows the cancellation of a call for a progressive convention signed by white and Negro Republicans not in harmony with the regular organization, who announced last Saturday that their plan to hold a convention here on August 1st had been abandoned. B. F. Fridge, a well known citizen of Ellisville, life long Democrat, and father of Adjutant General Fridge, has taken the lead in the movement to form the new white party. He today issued a call for a state convention to be held here on Aug. 1st, at 1 o'clock, for the purpose of naming delegates to the Chicago convention. John M. Parker, of New Orleans, a former Mississippiian, who recently announced his retirement from the Democratic party, to lead the progressive movement in that state, is taking an active part in the formation of the new party in Mississippi. The Formal Call. The formal call, issued to-day by Mr. Fridge, who reached here on a morning train from Vicksburg, where he held a lengthy conference with Hon. John M. Parker, is as follows: "All white citizens of Mississippi, regardless of past political affiliations, who believe in progressive government by the people and for the people, are hereby urged to meet in the Edwards House at Jackson on Thursday, Aug. 1, 1912, at 1 p. m., for the purpose of selecting delegates to the convention to be held in Chicago on August 5th. Mr. Fridge's statement. "Some persons may think It strange that I have joined the Progressive party movement," said Mr. Fridge this morning. "Well, I have been giving the matter very serious thought for some time, and have decided to take this step because I believe that it will do something substantial in the solution of the great problems of government that now confront the people of our nation. "Col. Roosevelt's candidacy appeals to me with peculiar strength because of his earnest advocacy of government control of the levees. "If we can solve this great problem and have the government take complete charge of the levee system it will mean more for the State of Mississippi in the way of material growth and development than anything that has happened since Mississippi was admitted to the Union. "Col. Roosevelt is America's foremost type of the progressive American citizen who does things. If he promises to dig that deep ditch through Dixie and put the levee system under the control of the government we can feel sure he will do it, just as he went ahead with the Panama canal work and had operations actually started while members of Congress were engaged in a lot of foolish palver over the subject. "It should be borne in mind, first of all, that this is strictly a white man's party, the movement is led by white men, and we expect only white men in our organization." "In making this announcement we do not feel that it is necessary to offer any explanations. If a permanent third party is to be built up in Mississippi that will represent true progressive principles, it must be composed exclusively of white men." Authorized by Dixon. Mr. Fridge frankly admits that his credentials as chairman of the third party movement in Mississippi came direct from Senator Dixon, who is managing the Roosevelt campaign. It is learned furthermore, that Senator Dixon literally kicked the former third party movement, led chiefly by negroes, overboard; that the nolitively; but positively, informed the Negro leaders that their services would not be needed, and requested them to cancel the call that had been issued for a convention on August 1st. This, therefore, is the explanation of the extreme reticence shown by the Negro leaders, among them being Dr. S. D. Redmond and P. W. Howard, when they announced Saturday night that the convention for August 1st had been called off. No explanation of any sort could be extracted from the leaders, except that they intended to stay in the Republican party and wage a fight against the present organization, making it a factional contest as in the past. Inspired by Parker. That this plan was inspired by John M. Parker is the impression that will be instantly gathered by those who know the noted New Orleans capitalist, planter; and former leader of the Good Government League in that State. As is generally known Mr. Parker and Col. Roosevelt have been intimate personal friends for many years. They have been on bearhunting trips together, and their friendship, both personal and political, has been of the closest sort. While several white men signed the bull moose call issued by Redmond, Howard, Mollison, Banks and other Negro leaders, it was apparent that the new party could not hope to be anything more than a Negro organization, made up chiefly of malcontents who have been fenced away from the Federal ple counter by the administration leaders. Regardless of whether the Progressive party is likely to show any strength in Mississippi this year, it will be generally conceded that John M. Parker and his associates have pulled off a shrewd political maneuver. As Col. Roosevelt is under obli- gations to only an exceedingly small number of Negro delegates to the recent Republican convention at Chicago, it is not likely that he will suffer any compunctions of conscience in literally kicking them out of his new party. It pains us very much to have to concede to the fact that there is no race of people on earth that has been taken as a stepping stone for a good living and an easy money-making business by men of their own race, like the colored race have been. When the white man isn't using the colored brother along this line he is being used by his own brother. There are some Negroes who profess to be worried, even in their sleep about the welfare of their people; while, in reality, they are simply figuring out a way to "work" the race for their own selfish gain. And this thing has become so plain that any man—though he be a fool, and mentally blind—can see it. Never in the history of the colored man's political enfranchisement has there been a bolder effort put forth by his own brother, to betray him into the hands of his enemies than now. We have among us today colored men, who profess to be out fighting for the rights of their people, but, at the same time, they would sell the race for a mess of pottage. These men are not only to be found as political speakers on the stump; no, but, like wolves dressed in sheep's clothing, they may be found in the pulpit. Stick a pin here, readers of The Bee, and don't forget this: Beware of any man who pretends to be more interested in the welfare of the race than he is in himself. Mark him wherever you see him. Already, for personal gain, it is being talked among people of intelligence and honesty that some of the so-called would-be leaders, and sellers of the colored race, has joined three different political parties and have been baptized into full membership in all of them in less than twelve months. It is no telling how for some people will go for a few dollars. This flopping from pillar to post does not only hurt the good name of the individual who does it, but it hurts the whole Negro race in the eyes of the best white people—people whose confidence the race can ill afford to lose. And no time should be spared to curb the influence that such money grabbers may have. We have always believed in a division of the colored vote, but this should be brought about honesty, having for its aim to secure a fair treatment of the race generally. But away with the political hoodlums who are grabbing at every opportunity they can get, in a fake effort, to redeem the race they would have you believe they would die. Such hypocrits will ever be detrimental to the race every hour, they are given recognition that is due honest gentlemen. Today you will find one of these self-authorized political leopards sitting at the table of the Democrats and swearing to them that he controls many thousands votes of his race, and for a few glittering pieces of silver (like Judas betraying the Master into the hands of his enemies). I will deliver them to you. Thinking him honest, by the "cloth" he wears, the Democrat immediately "comes across" with the desired amount. And, rising from the table this race lover?) starts off to some bank in which to deposit this (not tainted, but blood) money. The next day we find this same "race lover" sitting in the tents of the Progressive party telling them that he represents the much abused colored race, whose votes he carries around in his vest pockets, and will deliver them for "forty pieces" of silver. "Very well," say the Progressive, "we need them in our business just now and we glad you count your race worthy to be sold. Here's the amount. We shall depend upon you to deliver the goods on the 5th of November next." This redeemer?() of our race (of the race that is struggling to rise, but has been kept down by following its own treacherous self-appointed leaders, for nearly a half century) starts off to pass around his hat in the Republican camp (after having made the second deposit in the bank), saying to them: "I have abused you. I have held you up before my people as being unworthy the notice of any intelligent beings upon the earth. But, like Saul of Tarsus, I've heard something. Saul heard the voice of God telling him of the persecution of His people. But I heard the sound of a few silver dollars. I have repented for having told my people the truth about you, and for a nice little sum of that silver. Judas, will deliver the entire vote of the Negro race to you! Great God! my merciful Father! how long, oh, how long shall this race of ours be left in the wilderness, for the benefit of a few political sharks? Echo answers—how long, oh, how long! When first we practice to deceive." This race of ours will never be what it longs to be until it makes up and purges itself from these hypocritical liars and traitors who for some years have usurped the authority of leadership. I for one, will not sit down quietly and see my people holdly sold for a mess of pottage without sounding the alarm. This thing has been going on too long, already, for our own good. We will not shut our mouths or lay aside our pen when duty calls us to tell our people that the ravenous wolf is at their door. Public men—men who are anxious to be known as leaders of their race—do not fear the printers' ink. No, it is only the thieves, who are disguised in gentlemen's clothes, that don't wish their records known. This selling out business by some of these Negro "money grabbers" should be exposed by every decent colored newspaper in this country. Money, not the interest of the race, is what some of TO IMPROVE YOUR MIND AND YOUR HEALTH without going away from Washington. Attend the SUMMER SCHOOL AND CHAUTAUQUA, at the NATIONAL TRAINING SCHOOL.

But we wish to say a few words more about a division of the colored vote. The colored man, as an intelligent American citizen, ought to be known and fully recognized in all political parties just like the white man. All Negroes don't belong to the same church; and why should all of them belong to the Republican party? That the colored race has friends in the Democratic party no fair and truthful Negro will deny. We should seek friends in all political parties; but don't, as some of our trusted(?) friends have done, be jumping from Republican to Democrat, and from Democrat to Progressives—and be peeping through the cracks to break into the Socialist and Prohibition parties.

The great trouble is, the race hasn't enough of such men as Bishop Walters. Mr. Joseph H. Jones has the finest clear and news stand in the city.

PublicMen And Things (By the Sage of the Potomac) Down on the Farm, Aug. 8, 1912. My Dear Chase: Here I am down here on an alleged farm, immersed in rest, and getting hog-fat on a diet of chicken, buttermilk, string beans, new corn and hot biscuits three times a day. Got The Bee yesterday, and noticed, by a few epistles, that some of the readers are longing for my return. Well, according to the almanac, I am billed to play there in this bush league about two weeks more, then I will purchase a first class ticket, and get second class accommodations on a Potomac River boat and head back toward dear old Gossipville. I am just hungry for The Bee, and when it arrives, always about three days late. I read everything in it, even to that standing advertisement of the colored hotel that has never yet, and never will, be opened. And I read all the hair-straightening advertisements, and all the saloon ads. The last read awfully good to me. Its a case, you know, where distance lends' enchantment. I received Saturday's Star this morning, and read where Dr. Phantom Chaser Wilder had gone to Chicago as a delegate to the Bull Moose convention, appointed by himself. Well, it just tickled me to death to learn that Doc. had at last lassoed a delegateship. He's been chasing that phantom for four unprecedented years. And now that he's got it, I'll bet he doesn't know what to do with the darned thing. And I see George Collins could get away from his heavy law practice long enough to help sit in a convention without a vote. Well, George, always was easily satisfied. He reminds me mighty strongly of that line in Longfellow's Psalms of Life, "Man wants but little here below, nor wants that little long." I haven't heard of Doc. Wilder deluging George with legal cases to make him carry the Doctor's dress suit case all the way to Chicago. Some miscreant has defined Faith as "the substance of things hoped for, and the evidence of things not seen." Well, I guess that's George Bull Moose Collins all righty. I got a letter this morning from an old college chum of mine who lives out in the park, and who teaches school for a past time, and he wrote me that Horner fixed up a hand on Captain Oyster that made the doughty purveyor of butter and cheese get the kinks out of his legs, and go down the board of education presidential path at a pace that was nerve-racking, and that the captain was forced himself to decide the race in his own favor. If there ever was a pistillerous fellow, it's that man Horner. Just when you think he has taken the count, he's up for another round. Now there is Willie Bill Houston, who cabled the Czar of Russia that he had been elected a member of the Board of Education unanimously, and that he would proceed to celebrate the event with dutch luncheons, banquets, and speak easles. Before the six-foot two Adonis of the order of Grand United Odd Fellows could hold up his right hand and swear he would be a board member to the best of his ability, Richard Rumpus Horner got hold of a Roosevelt ticket to Chicago, and looked up Willie Bill's voting record in the windy city, and then hiked back to his little den in the Stewart building, and communicated -same to the solemn, wise in the right church, but somehow or another he had slipped into the wrong pew. "Pew!" (said Willie Bill, "and the villyun still persues me." But I am going to remind Brother Horner, for the fifty-fifth consecutive time that if he would only inject the same amount of energy into making friends that he does in making enemies, he'd be a white hope before morning. But Richard's got the fever, and like his namesake whom Richmond razored to death a few centuries ago; according to the chronological data furnished by Willie Bill Shakespeare, he's hollerin' for "a horse, my kingdom for a horse." And just to think in two weeks more I've got to get atmosphere that is charged and surcharged with scraps. Say this is an ideal locality, down here, to dream away the time. I see John Armstrong Chaloner has had a vision in which he was given a description of hell: Well, now if old "Who's Looney Now," would quietly drop into Washington when the overbaked citizens of that balliwick were in the throes of a school fight, the hell he describes would appear like back to Washington and breath the a punched copper cent by the side of a five dollar gold piece. Why, John Armstrong Chaloner's hell is a miniature locket alongside of Washington, when the inns and outs get to turning the hose on each other in school warfare. Every mother's son of them are "looney now" when the colored school question gets in the frying pan. And that reminds me that I am "vacationing" it down here only a few miles from the estate and domicile of Mr. Chaloner. And I may get that way myself if I stay long enough. Now, Chase, please tell the 10.375 readers of The Bee, alias The Sting, that if they will give me, about ten days or two weeks more rest, I will return, like Barlow, Wilson, Primrose and West's Minstrels, with all new songs, dances and jokes, "and inject a little jest into their lives. And Chase, if you can spare it, send me down a small remittance on the big balance you owe me for running this side show. I need it about as bad as Howard University needs a colored president, and you know that's awfully bad. Send it by money order, draft, or by messenger. Anyway just so it gets here. Did it ever breeze into that Websterian wart of yours that if a newspaper contains a nice, laudatory notice of you no friend will squander two cents to send you a copy, but if some newspaper explodes dynamite under you there is always some kind, sollicitous friend who will rush you a copy by special delivery? Well, it's so. Now, some one addressed a copy of The Indianapolis Freeman at August 3rd, to "The Sage, care of The Bee," and Chase put another special delivery stamp on it and hurried it down here to me, just because it contained a marked paragraph in R. Wordy Thompson's column he styles "Short Flights," which he pesters The Freeman readers with. I reproduce it her, without malice or design. Here 'tis: "The Washington Bee last week carried the very welcome announcement that the so-called "Sage of the Potomac" is to give the people of the nation's capital a much-needed rest. Nobody cares if he never comes back." Thompson's flights are always short, unless you pay him. He admits this soft impeachment without argument. Now, my dear good friend, Dick has never looked or felt the same since I facetiously said, in this column, that he would write himself up at the least provocation. I was just kidding. Everybody knows Dick wouldn't write himself up. And although The Bee reproduced from The Freeman, some weeks ago, a resplendent notice of himself, Dick had wrote all by himself, calling himself the greatest newspaper correspondent since Hector was a pup, I didn't believe Dick wrote it just for fun. Come, come, Dick, don't be so thin skin. Don't squeal because a fellow scribe pricks your dermal covering. Stand it like a dead game sport. Never flinch. Keep right on running the whole darn treasury department, acting as the mouth piece for the president and directing the campaign for Hilles. You are all right, Dickie, dear, even if you do throw a few nosegays at yourself. You feel you are a great correspondent. You believe it, you are satisfied that you are, so what's the use of squealing when you accidentally get thrown out at first. Everybody reads my columns—you read it every week, and you know it. So why say no one cares if I never come back. And who would have thunk that a great (?) newspaper correspondent would be jealous of a little local penny-a-liner? Wake up R. Wordy. Toughen up your dermal covering.
