The noted Negro educator has borne
an excellent reputation where best
known, and this unfortunate incident
should not be permitted to impair in
the least his undoubted usefulness to
his people and this section.
Speaking of the same matter, the
Nashville Banner says:
It is fortunate that the Booker
Washington accident didn't occur in
the South. The trouble in which 1t
has placed the noted Negro educator
would all have been attributed to
Southern race prejudice. AS it is the
South is entirely free from any COM
plication in the matter. 1t is very
regrettable occurrence IN any light
light. Booker Washington has done a
great and valuable work for his race
in the South and anything that may
impair his usefulness will be to the
detriment of the South generally
This fact is in his favor: If his pres
ence at the Ulrich place had been
through improper motives he would
hardly have disclosed his identity at
the pciole station. 1t was not neces-
sary and he might have escaped un-
detected with the payment OF tlne
for disorderly conduct. Furthermore
he would not have prosecuted the suit
against Ulrich.
His previous high standing Is also
strongly in his favor.
DR.. Washington has labored Tor
more than twenty-five years in the
South. He has gone on from day to
day building a character. His labors
have been the means of knocking the
scales of ignorance and superstition
from the eyes of many poor black
boy and girl, and his words of wis
dom have convinced the most skept1-
cal that it is worth while to educate
all of the people that are to live to-
gether in the same country. With
all this behind him, it is impossible
to make the world believe that his
visit to the house in New York City
on the night of March 10Th was for
any other purpose than he has stated
himself. The court went against
him, but public opinion is with him,
and that is mightier than all the
courts in the land.

TOO INITIATIVE.

The Southern Life Magazine, pub
lished in South Atlanta, Ca, COM
plains that the Negro labor unions
in Atlanta did not parade on Labor
Day because they were not invited
by the white labor unions TO parade.
This is the utmost folly. The white
labor unions have no patent on La
Dor Day. Why not Negroes parade
anywhere and at any time they want?
if necessary let them invite the white
labor unions to join them.
The policy of leaning and depend
ing at all times on white people is
suicidal. All this is like our starting
little secret organizations with the
same name white people have, every
time we hear about white people
starting some organization. Some
years ago we heard that white men
had started a Red Mems organization,
and Negroes have initiated them by
having Red Mems order. Why not
let Negroes have a Black Mans or
der? We need to assert little more
independence and little more
independent leadership.

FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 1911.
Election.

Tuesday of this week elections
were held in many states and cities
throughout the nation. Some calcu-
lations were upset, as is always the
case, but as a whole the results were
about what might have been expect
ed. Looking the situationf rom both
republican and democratic viewpoints,
it is hard to see where either party
can claim to have gained much adj
vantage. 1t might as we'll be called
a dog fall" Some strange things
happened it is true, but it came to
both sides. Massachusetts elected a
democratic governor, which was no
surprise. Three cities in Ohio elect
ed democrat os mayor, and Kentuc-
ky went overwhelmingly democratic
Again Kansas elected a democratic
congressman. All of these things are
favorable to the democratic party,
but on the other hand the democrats
in Maryland failed to elect their
governor, and the state of New York
reversed back to the republican side
These things indicate that the con-
test in 1912 will be stubbornly con-
tested, and the outcome will depend
largely upon the men the democratic
party puts at the head of their ticket.
But in twelve months, many strange
things can happen, and they usually
do on the eve of national election.
The one feature of the whol& affair
that the Negroes of this country have
cause to rejoice over was the defeat
of the constitutional amendment in
the state of Maryland. 1t shows
what the black man can do if he will
only try. 1t shows further that as
the Negroes become land owners and
men of affairs commercially, they get
in position to ward off these I'm.
constitutional attempts to rob them
of their liberties. We have watched
with much interest the fight of the
Negro press in that state, and if we
had made forecast, we would have
predicted that the nefarious dis.
franchisement bill would be defeated
and now we take off our hats to Edi
tor Murphy and all of those who
helped to win the fight.

Voice from A Strange land.

Voice From A Strange Land.
The Marshall Gazette, published in
one of our towns far removed from
the scene of general activities, says
the following anent our recent cleo
ton:
According to the Nashville Demo-
crat and the Nashville Globe, the lat
ter a Negro sheet, the recent re-elec-
ton of Mayor Howse and his ticket
were elected by the combining of all
the lawless elements of the city, aided
by many good meaning people, the
latter of whom voted for the ticket
because they were swayed by their
prejudices. AS for the Negroes, gam
blers and the keepers of various dives
Of the city they voted as they did be-
cause they know that Howse and his
ticket stood for a wide-open town. No
one can make us believe that all the
lawless whites and Negroes of Nash
vile are Democrats, and yet without
almost the solid vote of these elements
would not have been possible to
elect Howse and his ticket, although
Nashville is nominally Democratic
city of three to one.
The Gazette is correct when it
says all the lawless whites and Ne
groes are not democrats; no, some of
them are staunch republicans and
some "what-nots." The Negro voters of
Nashville are independent voters, and
bave the knowledge to chose the best
men for public Office. AS to the white
voters, we'll, the press feeder from
the Gazette Office could not be per-
suaded to come near Nashville and
say all the white men who voted for
Mayor Howse are gamblers and out

EDITORIAL CLIPPINGS.
THE NORTH GEORGIA CONFER
ENCE.


Last Saturday the editor visited
Gainesville, Ca, to attend and SCI
for himself the conditions existing in
the North Georgia Conference of the
A. M, e. Church of the State. In
view of the Manning charges and
many other things that were being
said at the barber shops and on the
street corners of the city, derogatory
of tho usefulness of Bishop Smith
and the Church in general, and the
widely advertised reports that the
travelling ministers of the connection
Of Georgia were up in arms against
the Bishops tyranny, we were anx-
ious to see at first hand, what were
the relations existing between the
Bishop and his preachers. We found
conditions just to the contrary of
the reports. We found harmony and
| enthusiasm existing throughout the
Conf renee, no strife or dissension
apparent in the body. There seemed
to be one purpose prevalent among
the preachers, and that was the rails
ing of the Church claims and the
promotion Of the Work of the Church
In the State. The good Bishop was
addressing the Conference when we
went in, and the only thing that
worried us was the enthusiastic and
lusty cheers with which the preach
ers were greeting him at the end
of each sentence. The Manning
charges seemed to have gone a-glim-
mering; nobody believed in them.
In fact, we were impressed that Rev.
Manning himself saw his error and
admitted that the charges were with
out grounds. 1t is believed that the
grand old man has been imposed up
on and is only cats-paw in the
hands of other designing Church Of
ficials, to destroy the usefulness of
Bishop Smith in order to make his
return to the State for the next four
years impossible The Conference
found the charges without foundation
and contrary to the spirit of the
Bible, The Church believes that
Brother Manning is responsible in
joint with Brother Stinson, for the
publication of the charges, and it
is talked by the brethren of the
Senior Bishop of the Church, both
talked about and connived in the
publication of the charges. AS an
evidence of the confidence and es-
TEEN with which the good Bishop is
held in the diocese, the Conference
unanimously voted, insIructing its
eight delegates to use their influence
and all honorable means to effect
the return of the good Bishop to our
diocese for the next four years. The
Conference also endorsed Rev. T. N.
M. Smith, D. D., for Bishop at the
General Conference, and pledged him
its support and prayers. In short,
the Conference was a success, it's
claims exceeding those for the last
Conference year and harmony pre-
vailed throughout the session.-At-

The Value of Character.

The most valued asset any one can
have in this life is a good character.
1t is that attribute that cannot be
made in a day nor destroyed in a
day. No better illustration of this
need be cited than the Booker Wash
ington case. The unfortunate Incl
dent that happened between him and
Ulrich in New York City was herald
ed broadcast with big head lines.
The newspapers, as is their custom,
published the story in a most sensa-
tional manner, simply because it
made eXcitable reading; but at no
time have the people of the country
shown the least waver in their faith
in Mr.. Washington's integrity No
stronger proof Of the worth of this
mans good character need be cited
than the expressions Of two of the
daily papers in this city The Demo
crat had the following to say on the
subject:
Ulrich beat up Booker Washington,
but is declared not guilty for doing.

THAT'S GRATITUDE.

The only Negro holding a repre-
sentative place under the bipartisan
form of our city government has
been supplanted by white man,
and this too by the votes of the Re-
publican members of the Board of
Affairs. Stating it as mildly as pos
sible, the act was an ungrateful one
on the part of the members whose
election was made possible by Negro
votes, and one hardly calculated to
make for Republican success here
abouts in the next election.-The

SUCCEEDS.

Washington, ID. c., Feb. 14.-After

eral of the army for almost a decade,
Brig. Gen. George b. Davis. relin-
quished his duties at noon today to
his successor in Office, Col Enoch H.
Crowder. the next senior officer of
the corps. The change is due TO the
fact that Gen. Davis became Ga years
of age today. and, therefore, under the
law was relegated to the retired list.
The retirement Of Gen. Davis strikes
from the active list one OF the few
surviving officers of the civil war He
entered the army in September, 1868,
as a sergeant of the First Adassachu-
sets Volunteer cavalry After the
war he was admitted to the military
academy on his graduation. -four
years later, he was appointed second
lieutenant of the Fifth Cavalry He
served i'm that regiment for seventeen
years. He has held. the office of judge
advocate general since May, 1901. BY
virtue of special legislation and be-
cause of his service during the civil
war he is retired with the rank OF
major general.
Col. Crowder, the new judge advo-
cate general, is a native of Missouri
He was graduated from West Point
in 1881. He served in the volunteer
army i'm Cuba, during the war with
Spain and later i'm the Philippine in
surrection, reaching the grade Of
brigadier general of volunteers. AS
the legal adviser to the governor OF
Cuba when the United States entered

Washington. ID. c., Feb. 14.--Major
General Wood, chief of staff of the
army, appeared before the militia

the bill TO establish the organized mill

General Wood said the regular army
is so scattered throughout the insular
possessions that only about 10000
men are ready for Immediate service

Proposes a New Plan.

The committee is of unanimous
opinion that the plan is conceived with
absolute attempt towards fairness and
is as fair as could be produced under
existing conditions. The committee
has, however. in a letter addressed "a
Quincy A. Shaw, president of the Cal
umet and Hecla company, suggested a
plan which it believes would remove
much of the opposition which the pro-
posed plan has engineered.
The committee is of the opinion that
n market value of $685. for the new
stock would deprive a large number of
stockholders from any speculative
possibilities that may attach to the
new securities. 1t is suggested, there
FORE that instead of there being is-
sued only 100000 shares of stock an
other company be formed with a
larger capital. the shares of which
shall be exchanged of for those of the
proposed new operating company.
We understand that the committee
has i'm mind the formation Of a hold
ing company under the laws of Maine
with a capitalization of say of 10000
shares which shares might be ex-
changed on the basis of four of the
holding company for one of the new
proposed operating company. The
committee believes that this would
meet with favor at the hands of those
who now oppose the proposed conso-
lidation. as it would Immediately re-
move the restriction which it Is felt
would necessarily accompany secur-
ity selling at 1925 per share. This
plan Of a holding company formed un-
der the laws of some state other than
Michigan is believed by counsel to be
legally practicable and the commit
tee urges that the Calumet and Hecla
officials make early announcement OF
their decision In the matter.
